Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between E10 and E14 fairground bulbs?
E10 bulbs are smaller and best for compact lettering or tight curves. E14 bulbs are larger and create a more traditional, bold fairground glow suited to signage and ride fronts.
Are fairground lights suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, fairground bulbs can be used outdoors when correctly installed with suitable fittings and an appropriate LED power supply. Ensure all connections are protected from moisture.
How do I choose the right size of fairground bulb?
Choose E10 for small, detailed designs, E14 for standard fairground looks, and golfball bulbs for larger decorative displays. Consider your available space and the visual impact you want to achieve.
Do fairground bulbs need a specific power supply?
Yes. Fairground LEDs require a compatible LED driver matched to your total load and voltage. Choosing the correct power supply ensures safe, reliable and consistent illumination.
Can I mix colours within my fairground lighting project?
Yes, colours can be mixed freely. For the best colour consistency, buy enough bulbs from the same batch, as LEDs purchased at different times may vary slightly in appearance.
How many bulbs do I need for my sign or display?
Measure the outline or area you want to illuminate and plan spacing based on bulb size. Smaller E10 cabochons require more bulbs per metre, while larger E14 or golfball bulbs need fewer.
E10 vs. E14 Cabochon Lights – Which Should You Choose? 🎡💡
Wondering whether E10 or E14 cabochon lights are the best fit for your project? We break it down for you.
Both options give you vibrant, eye-catching illumination—so whether you’re going for sleek detail or big impact, you’ll find the right fit here.
Choosing the Right Fairground Lights
Fairground lighting comes in several styles, each suited to different types of projects. E10 cabochons are perfect for compact displays, tight lettering and curved layouts, while E14 cabochons offer a larger, more traditional fairground glow that works brilliantly for retro signage, ride fronts and bolder outlines. Golfball bulbs create an even bigger visual presence, making them ideal for outdoor displays or vintage décor.
If your project requires smooth backlighting rather than individual bulbs, LED modules provide bright, even illumination across sign trays, decorative panels and fairground fronts. For a deeper explanation of the differences between each type, explore our Fairground Lights Guide or our step-by-step Installation Guide in LED Know-How.
All fairground lighting options work with our full range of Fairground Light Components, including cabochon caps and bases, wiring, fixings and adaptors. Make sure you pair your lighting with a suitable LED driver from our Power Supplies for Fairground Lights collection, matching the voltage and total load of your project.
If you're building a new installation from scratch, our ready-made E10 Kits and E14 Kits provide everything you need in one bundle. For signage and event décor, our marquee-ready wiring options and Plug’n’Play kits can make installation quicker and easier.
To avoid colour variation, purchase enough bulbs from the same batch to complete your project. For detailed planning tips, wiring guidance and example layouts, visit the LED Know-How section or contact our technical team for tailored advice.
