Festoon lights are checked upon going out on hire and return.  Due to the delicacy of the bulbs, care must be taken not to drop or bang the bulbs.  Lights must not be plugged into power when placing them in your desired location.  Do not remove the bulbs prior to transport. Damaged or blown bulbs will be replaced our wholesale cost of $2.50 per bulb and the cost deducted from your bond.

What if I lose the boxes or bags the item is provided in?
