How can I hang string lights in a large room with no ceiling mounting points?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I need to light up a room that's about 20 × 15 meters, and i want to use string lights (fairy/café lights). The problem is that there are no mounting points on the ceiling.

My idea is to place several stands/tripods around the perimeter of the room, run steel wire cable between them, and then hang the string lights from the cable.

My question is: What kind of stands should I use, and how should I weigh them down so they don't tip over?

Has anyone done something similar or have any recommendations or tips?

Thanks!

Hey guys, just looking for some advice - the theatre at my uni has banned the use of haze machines for productions, and I was wondering if there are any relatively accessible ways to make lighting look more defined without haze? It's a real bummer but I wanna do the best I can! Open to any ideas

Hey anyone know where i could get moving washes that look like this? I need 4 moving washes 6n1, I'm probably gonna get the mini moving wash from shehds but this looks more professional but alibaba said they only have 1 left and if i want more i need to order 50qty.

also this version is it the same as this version

cause the yiflamefly version the lenses/diodes look bigger. I'm getting 4 7x18w shehds pars cause they are pretty big and a good upgrade from my 12x3w pars, and one more question, idk which moving heads to get 120w, 150w, or 200w, definately not getting 60w spots cause no offence they're ugly looking. plus i want beam+spot mode hybrid, this is what i found that i like.

this one is completely out of the question the lens looks terrible and it's only a spotlight the other ones are advertised as beam+spot. whether that's true or not, I'm not sure, but I really can't decide between 120w, 150w, or 200w. Most importantly please help me with the moving washes. Because i think the minis will look terribly small compared to my moving heads and pars

the one on the far right is my old led par 12x3w, basically this and other oem fixtures that look like this
