Sloane Square, London – medium Antares with warm white LEDs combine with uplighting to tree canopies.
Antares
Antares stars have many and varied design applications
– used alone, or within larger themed displays, inside or
outside, they offer a strikingly elegant display solution.
The unique 3-dimensional folding design comes in a range
of sizes and a variety of LED colourways and finishes.
Originally developed to be suspended in trees the abstract
explosion of light provides stunning impact. Antares stars
have such simple and universal appeal they are now used
in a multitude of applications both inside and out - in retail
stores and display windows, airport atriums, marquees,
gardens, and across streets in towns and city centres.
When used in trees, they are particularly effective combined
with additional floodlighting to the tree canopies.
Mini
The smallest version of the Antares, the Mini measures
530mm diameter fully assembled (just 560mm x 210mm
x 210mm when boxed) and is supplied with accessories
to connect multiple stars from one transformer to make
installation quick and easy.
Particularly suited for retail use. Static lights only.
Medium
Measuring 850mm diameter when assembled, this was our
first star size and was inspired by mistletoe clusters growing
naturally in trees.
Supplied now with accessories to allow inter-connection (up to
6 stars from one transformer) the Medium stars also include a
controller to add a choice of twinkling effects if desired.
Large
The largest Antares has been
re-designed so that all arms
are detachable to make
transport, handling and
storage so much easier.
Measuring 2000mm diameter
and with over nine hundred
LEDs it is a most impressive
centrepiece to provide impact
in streets or large spaces.
When specified in white finish,
it can have the appearance
of a giant snowflake. Weighing
just 8kgs it is easy to install.

PRODUCT FEATURES INCLUDE:
o interconnectable
o f old-away design and neat packaging
o simple twist/lock assembly
o integral controller to provide twinkling options
o lightweight construction and easy fixing
o range of accessories including column mounting bracket
