Custom Animal Lanterns
Realistic or stylized animals in any pose and scale — the backbone of zoo lights and safari park displays.
View Animal LanternsFrom a single made-to-order silk lantern to a complete custom lantern festival covering hectares of your venue, we design, engineer, build and install displays built exactly to your brief.
Custom lanterns are illuminated displays designed and manufactured to a client's specific requirements rather than selected from a standard catalog. A custom lantern can be a single piece — a 12-meter dragon, a branded company mascot, a floral archway for an entrance — or an entire festival composed of dozens of interlocking scenes, all sharing one theme, one color story and one visitor journey.
At Zigong Lantern Festival Manufacturer Co., Ltd., every custom lantern begins with a design brief. Our in-house studio produces concept art, 3D models and engineering drawings so you see exactly what will be built before any steel is cut. We then fabricate the steel frame, hand-cover it with silk, paint it by hand and install energy-efficient LED systems — all under one roof in our 30,000 m² factory in Zigong, the birthplace of the Chinese lantern festival.
Because we control the whole process from first sketch to on-site installation, we can deliver custom lanterns in almost any size, shape, theme, color and lighting configuration. The only real limits are physics, your budget and your imagination.
Size, theme, color, materials, lighting and control systems — configure each one to match your venue and audience.
From 1-meter tabletop lanterns to 80-meter mega structures. We engineer wind-load and weight for your site.
Nature, mythology, brand stories, local culture, fairy tales or seasonal events — your narrative drives the design.
RGB, warm white, animated chases and synchronized shows. IP65-rated LED systems in any color temperature.
Traditional silk, weatherproof cloth, metal-mesh, acrylic panels or mixed media for day-and-night appeal.
