Special Application of Acorn Strings in Moharram Ceremonies and Religious Events
As the month of Moharram approaches, many religious councils, municipalities, and cultural activists seek to equip urban and religious spaces for holding mourning and memorial ceremonies for Sayyid al-Shuhada.

Features such as low energy consumption, high brightness, resistance to environmental conditions (IP67), ease of installation, and an 18-month warranty engraved on each flame have made these strings the first choice for Moharram lighting in the city and religious locations.
The Most Important Applications of Red Acorn Strings in the Month of Moharram:
- Decorating the entrances of Husainiyahs, Takiyehs, and Mosques: Installing red acorn strings at the entrance of Husainiyahs and mosques displays the first visual effect of mourning to the public and effectively introduces the ceremony space.

- Creating light frames and festive elements with red color: Some groups use acorn strings to create custom light frames with designs such as flags, blood drops, or the blessed name of Imam Hussein (PBUH), which have a special effect during the nights of Moharram.
- Lighting charitable, donation, and municipal service stations: With the help of red strings, charitable stations can be illuminated quickly and prominently to provide services to mourners in a structured and illuminated environment.
- Decorating the environments surrounding squares, intersections, and parks: Many municipalities use red acorn strings to illuminate the areas around squares, light structures, and lamp posts to create an urban atmosphere during the month of Moharram.
