Safety is of course our number one priority which is why all our electronic items have been professionally tested, tagged, and meet SAA Approval standards to comply with the Australian electrical product safety requirements. This is a legal requirement when hiring out equipment in Australia and is mandatory when setting up at most venues. We also have $20million Public Liability Insurance and are able to provide a certificate of currency for this (required by some venues).

The colour of our bulbs are a warm white, however upon request we can provide remote-operated coloured bulbs (can be any colour you need).

We realise that sometimes your event might run (very!) late into the evening so are more than happy to pick up your items the day after your event if you need. Next day pick-up is included in the per item price and does not count as a two day hire.

Light up letters, numbers, and symbols: These items may be set up outside however in the event of rain (or high winds) the items need to be sheltered from the elements and/or moved. Flower walls, neon lights and back drops: These items cannot be set up outside (unless agreed upon by Big Light Letter staff) under any circumstances unless in an extremely sheltered outdoor space.

We sure do! We also offer a wholesale light up letter option so you can purchase your own set of light up letters. This is the perfect option for schools, businesses, and other organisations that host multiple events throughout the year. Read more about buying light up letters here. Looking for a full set of letters A-Z and/or numbers 0-9 to hire out? Check out our start-up light up letter business package option here.

Our light up letters are precision steel fabricated so we manufacture them in batches. This means that from confirmation of order to completion and delivery can take up to 4-5 months. To find out more about our current lead times contact us today at info@biglightletters.com.au or call 0481250285.
