What to consider when buying fairground lighting
Fairground lighting is usually used for leisure and signage applications due to the bright, bold colours they offer as well as the ability to create a number of bespoke projects.
Fairground lighting is suited to projects such as:
- Interior or exterior lettering
- Signage
- Events
However, fairground lighting is not limited to just these types of applications and can be used for hundreds of applications with the number of variations and possibilities endless.
Before choosing lights for your next project, you should consider what the project is, how long it will take for products to be delivered, costs, the number of bulbs you’ll need and the benefits of using LED lighting over other types.
The key benefits of LED fairground lights include:
- Energy efficiency
- High quality light
- Durable and reliable
- Operation at low temperatures
- Controllable

Cabochon lights provide an attractive method to light up any project for a variety of events. However, with a number of types of cabochon lights available, including sizes, colours and pre-programmed, it can be difficult to know which type of cabochon light is best for you.
Types of cabochon light include:
- E10’s
- Flat E10’s
- E14’s
- Pixel cabochons
- RGB cabochons
Each type of light is suitable for a number of applications so it’s important to know how each one functions and their features and benefits before ordering lights for your project.
From large lighting displays to smaller marquee and lettering projects, at WeLoveLEDs, we have cabochon lights to suit any project. It’s important to know what type of event and lighting you’re looking for before buying cabochon lights. The number of lights you require will depend on the size of your project so this is something that should be considered before placing your order.
