Frequently Asked Questions
What bulbs are used for cabochon lighting?
Cabochon lighting typically uses E10 or E14 bulbs, available in LED or incandescent versions. These bulbs fit securely into cabochon housings and lampholders to create bright, decorative lighting effects.
Should I choose LED or incandescent bulbs for cabochons?
LED bulbs offer long lifespan, low heat and efficient performance, making them ideal for commercial use. Incandescent bulbs provide a traditional warm glow often preferred for vintage or fairground-style displays.
Are E10 and E14 bulbs interchangeable?
No. E10 and E14 refer to different cap sizes, so the correct bulb must match your lampholder. Always check the fitting type of your cabochon or signage housing before purchasing.
What is the difference between clear and coloured bulbs?
Clear bulbs produce bright, focused illumination, ideal for highlighting cabochon lenses. Coloured bulbs create vibrant decorative effects and are often used for themed displays or traditional fairground lighting.
Can bulbs in cabochon lighting be used outdoors?
Yes, provided they are installed within suitable cabochon lenses or weather-protected housings. Many low-voltage E10 and E14 bulbs are used in outdoor signage and decorative features when appropriately enclosed.
How do I choose the correct voltage for E10 or E14 bulbs?
Most cabochon and signage systems use low-voltage bulbs, typically 24V. Always match the bulb voltage to your existing drivers or power supply to ensure safe, reliable operation.
Buying Guide: Choosing the Right E10 or E14 Bulb
Selecting the correct bulb for cabochon or signage lighting starts with identifying the cap type your system uses. Most cabochon and fairground installations rely on either E10 or E14 bulbs, both of which offer secure connections with lampholders and provide consistent illumination for decorative features. E10 bulbs are typically used for compact cabochons and tighter display layouts, while E14 bulbs offer a slightly larger format for bolder, more traditional fairground effects.
The choice between LED and incandescent bulbs depends on the aesthetic you want to achieve. LED bulbs deliver bright, efficient and long-lasting performance with minimal heat output. They are ideal for commercial displays or when low running costs and durability are priorities. Incandescent bulbs remain popular for installations requiring a classic warm look or vintage fairground feel, offering a softer glow that some designers prefer for heritage-style projects.
Bulbs in this category also come in clear, coloured and diffused finishes. Clear bulbs give strong, focused illumination and are commonly used inside cabochon lenses to highlight their shape and colour. Coloured bulbs produce vibrant, themed lighting and are often chosen for feature displays, while diffused bulbs help create softer, more even illumination in exposed fittings. Larger G45 bulbs, where included, provide a rounded decorative look for open installations and retro-styled displays.
