Burner Lighting Ideas

The Black Rock Desert, host to the annual Burner festival, comes to life each night of the event with vibrant lights, fire, music, art and performances. The festival is dedicated to self-expression and self-reliance. While there are countless ways to express yourself and to provide for yourself on the Playa, I’m going to show you a few ways that lights can help you be an active participant in this bustling desert metropolis.

For fun and safety add lights to your mode of transportation to your Burner transportation. Bikes are an obvious favorite, but you may decide to register a Mutant Vehicle with the event and light that baby up! Battery Powered lights are an easy option for going simple. Rope lights and flex strip lighting is a better option if you have a large area to cover and want to make a big impact. Using rope light mounting clips you can attach rope lights to most surfaces.

Lights allow bold sculptures erected on the Playa to carry on their visual beauty on into the night. Rope lighting and flex strip can illuminate any structure using mounting clips.

Want to keep camp lighting super simple? Mason jars and battery powered tea lights make perfect, inexpensive lanterns to hang (with wire) or scatter around camp without worry of accidental fire.
