Create A Double Take … Focus On Lighting

by

If the buyer can not see it, how can you sell it?

LED arm lamp trade show lighting

The 55W LED arm lamps offered as our MSD preferred rental lamp option are easy to focus at any time and are cool to the touch. The LED arm lamps connect to each other and require only one singular power point.

As an example, if you order six 55w LED arm lamps for your 10 foot by 10 foot booth, you are only required to order one service of E027 (0 – 500w) at the Javits advanced price of $182.20.

You may also order a plug strip (E029) for $69.15 from Javits if you need additional power points for laptop or cell phone charging ports. We do not recommend bringing your own plug strip as it may delay installation and lead to increased labor costs.

Process:

Please use the official Javits Center portal known as JAKE to arrange electricity for your exhibit. The electrical registration request process does not provide the ability or order/rent the 55W LED arm lamps for your exhibit.

After placing your order for electricity using JAKE, it is crucial that you forward a copy of your confirmation and your LED arm lamp layout to admin@mannystone.com so we may supervise the electricians’ installation of the MSD rental 55W LED arm lamps. MSD supervision is included within the LED rental pricing.

*The installation and removal of the rental 55W LED arm lamps is billable by Javits Exhibitor Services Department as part of the JAKE portal process. Licensed Javits electrician services are supplied by the Javits Center at hourly rates set by the Javits Center. Rates quoted above are subject to change without notice.

FYI: The most powerful lamps offered by the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center are the LED Par Can lamps.

Javits par can lights

Par Cans provide extremely bright overhead flood lighting. Javits electricians using boom or scissor lifts hang Par Cans over the aisle in front of your exhibit booth.

Par Cans cannot be focused during the hours the shows are open.

Foam board sizes in a metric booth space

foam board sizes in a metric booth

Please forgive me if this lesson in trade show metric adaptation appears complicated or condescending. It is not intended that way.

Please look at the image.

The accurate insert wall “panels” at a 90.5 inches in height and 38.125 inches in width are NOT to be confused with the top-to-bottom measurements required when using foam board panels as perimeter walls. The foam board walls may be color coated with ink (not painted) or they may be used for applied graphics.

The foam board must be 96″ tall (standard height) so that it can act as an inner wall perimeter surface. The standard width is 48″ per panel.

The accurate measurements necessary for those metric measurements of the 3 meters by
3 meters exhibit space converted to imperial measurements in inches of 10’x10’x10′.

SO – THIS is accurate:

  • 3 meters – known as 10 feet (which it’s NOT) is actually 117 inches
  • For a 20′ back wall, 6 meters – known as 20 feet (NOT) is actually 234 inches. Therefore, one should use four 48″ wide panels and one 42″ wide panel when planning graphics.
  • For a 3 meter by 3 meter or 10’x10′ – IF you maintain the 48″ widths of the first two panels and size the remaining panel at 21.5 inches (allowing for the thickness of the side wall butting into the back wall ), you will SAVE one panel of foam board when assessing your total foam board needs.

This allows 8 panels to be used for a 10’x10’x10′ instead of 9 panels.

Try NOT to make your sides 117 divided into 3 equal pieces or it makes the costs climb for labor and materials.

dsc03546Rent a Custom Booth
by LLoyd Stone

Have a booth built to rent. Do not have a booth built to purchase. By renting, the booth should look like new each time you contract for its use. By renting, you attain great flexibility – something especially important during uncertain economic times.

Give us your wish list. You write the story. I will edit it. I can reflect your companies personality in a custom designed and custom built booth which Manny Stone Decorators will build to rent to you.

As you grow, you may need more space in which you can exhibit. Your exposures may change. One show you may have a corner, the next an inline 3 wall.

One show you may be able to build 8′ tall – another show the height restriction may be 12′.

Some shows have line of sight (low side wall) rules. Other shows allow 8′ height on all walls. By renting, you can roll with the punches and take advantage of show management’s sales department opportunities.

A rental exhibit allows you to change the size and configuration of your booth from show to show. Such flexibility allows you to experiment with size, shape and color to create the space that best presents your product.
