Colour-Changing Fairground Lights | RGB & Pixel

Frequently Asked Questions

What are colour changing fairground lights?
Colour changing fairground lights use RGB LEDs to produce multiple colours and lighting effects from a single bulb, making them ideal for animated signage and displays.
Do colour changing fairground lights need a controller?
Yes. These lights require a compatible RGB or DMX controller to manage colour selection, effects and brightness across the installation.
Can RGB fairground lights be used outdoors?
Many RGB fairground lights are suitable for outdoor use when installed with appropriate fittings and weather-rated power supplies.
Are RGB cabochon bulbs suitable for signage?
RGB cabochon bulbs are widely used in signage and fairground lettering due to their vibrant colours, compact size and ability to create animated effects.
What power supplies are needed for fairground lights?
Colour changing fairground lights require correctly rated low-voltage power supplies sized to support the total electrical load of the system.
Can colour changing fairground lights be mixed with static bulbs?
They can be combined visually, but electrical and control requirements should be planned carefully to ensure correct operation.

Understanding Colour-Changing Fairground Lights

Auto RGB — Simplest Option

Pre-programmed with built-in colour effects. Just connect to power and they run automatically — no controller required. Ideal for straightforward installations where dynamic colour is needed without programming complexity. Available as a ready-to-run 10-pack with PSU included.

Pixel Cabochons — Individually Addressable

Each cabochon can be controlled independently, allowing chase effects, colour sequences and patterns across the full installation. Requires a compatible pixel controller. Available in 42mm (12V), 46mm (24V) and 60mm (24V) sizes — choose based on your fitting size and voltage system.

RGB DMX-SPI Cabochons — Position-Based Effects

Plug-and-play RGB cabochons that use their position in the string to generate automatic effects — no pixel addressing required. Compatible with standard DMX systems via the LTech signal decoder. A good middle ground between auto RGB and fully programmable pixel.

Controllers

The Micro Pixel YCP Controller suits smaller installations needing simple colour selection and effects. The K-8000C is a professional 8-output programmable controller for larger or complex pixel systems. The LTech DMX-SPI decoder connects existing DMX systems to pixel LED strings. The T-1000N is used for writing DMX addresses to individual fixtures.

Power Supplies & Cabling

MEAN WELL PSUs in 60W, 100W, 150W and 200W options cover installations of all sizes. Extension cables and power injection cables are available for both 3-pin pixel and 4-pin RGB systems. The SP901E signal amplifier maintains signal integrity across longer runs.
