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.
Choosing the Right Replacement Bulb
E10 Bulbs
Used with E10 lampholders and 40mm cabochon covers. The standard bulb for compact fairground installations, tight lettering and installations with close bulb spacing. If your existing kit or lampholder uses an E10 fitting, this is the correct replacement.
E14 Bulbs
Used with E14 lampholders and 60mm cabochon covers. The larger format bulb for marquee borders, fairground fronts and bold letter signage. Check your existing lampholder fitting size before ordering — E10 and E14 are not interchangeable.
Golfball Bulbs
A rounder, larger-profile bulb used in vintage-style displays, outdoor signage and large-scale borders where individual bulbs need to stand out without a cabochon cover. Often used in festoon and marquee-style lighting where the bulb itself is the decorative element.
Checking Compatibility
All bulbs in this collection are 24V LED and designed for use with standard fairground lampholders. If you are unsure of your existing voltage or fitting type, check the lampholder or power supply label before ordering. Using an incorrect bulb voltage will cause premature failure.
