E14 Cabochon Bases for Amusement Ride Repairs & Fairground Lighting

The base that holds your light in place — built for professional use.

This clear E14 cabochon light base is the mounting socket that screws directly into your light-up letter or fairground sign, holding your LED bulb securely in position. It uses a standard E14 (small Edison screw) fitting and is the same base used in our own professional letter displays, hired for weddings, corporate events, and venue installations across the UK.

Specifications:

  • Fitting: E14 (small Edison screw)
  • Cap diameter: 60mm
  • Compatible voltage: 24V or 240V E14 bulbs
  • Material: Clear polycarbonate
  • Sold individually — order the quantity you need

What it's used for: This base is suitable for light-up letter builds, fairground-style signage, marquee borders, illuminated props, and replacement repairs on existing displays. If you're replacing a cracked or worn base on an existing letter, this is the part you need. If you're building from scratch, you'll also need an E14 LED bulb and a coloured or clear cabochon cap — see our Full Light Set for the complete assembly.

Who buys this: Event hire companies topping up their letter sets, sign makers building custom illuminated displays, and DIY builders creating their own fairground-style letters for weddings or parties.

Compatibility: Works with all standard E14 cabochon caps (40mm–60mm) and E14 LED bulbs rated at 24V or 240V. Not suitable for E10 fittings — if you're unsure which size you need, check the diameter of your existing cap or contact us.

FAQs

Are these suitable for funfair and travelling fairground equipment?

Yes. Our E14 bases are built for the robust, repeat-use demands of the events and fairground industry — not lightweight decorative products. They're the same bases we use in our own professional letter fleet, which gets loaded, transported, set up and taken down repeatedly across the year. For travelling fairs and seasonal operators who need reliable replacement parts quickly, we offer next-day UK delivery on certain components.

What's the difference between E10 and E14 bases?

E10 and E14 refer to the diameter of the Edison screw fitting — 10mm and 14mm respectively. E14 is the larger of the two and is used in bigger letters (typically 80cm tall or more) where a 60mm cabochon cap is fitted. E10 is used in smaller letters with 40mm caps.

How many bases do I need for a light-up letter?

It depends on the letter size and bulb spacing. A typical 4ft letter can use approximately 6 - 14 light points. We recommend measuring your letter's perimeter and spacing bulbs every 4–6cm for a full, even glow.

Can I use this base with a 240V bulb?

Yes. This base is compatible with both 24V and 240V E14 bulbs. If you're running a 240V setup, ensure your wiring and power supply are rated accordingly.

Do you sell the bulb and cap separately?

Yes — we sell E14 LED bulbs, coloured cabochon caps, and a Full Light Set (base + bulb + cap) as a complete assembly. See our components collection for all options.

Can I use E14 cabochon bases as amusement ride spare parts?

Yes. E14 cabochon bases are standard components across a huge range of fairground and amusement park rides. They are used on ride canopies, ticket booth fascias, carousel borders, waltzer cars, ghost trains, big wheels, dodgem arenas, and fun house entrances — anywhere that classic fairground bulb lighting is fitted. If you're replacing worn, cracked or missing bases on a ride, our E14 clear bases are direct replacements for the standard 60mm fitting used across most traditional fairground equipment. We stock year-round and can fulfil trade quantities — contact us if you need a bulk order.

Do you sell replacement parts for fairground rides and amusement equipment in bulk?

Yes. While our website is set up for individual and small-quantity orders, we regularly supply trade customers — including event hire companies, sign makers, amusement park operators and ride maintenance engineers — with larger quantities of components. If you need 50, 100 or 500+ bases, contact us directly for a trade price. We can also advise on compatible bulbs, caps and wiring components for your specific installation.

Do you ship E14 bases outside the UK?

Yes — we ship to Europe and internationally. UK orders qualify for next-day delivery. For international shipping rates and timescales, add your items to the cart and use the shipping calculator at checkout, or contact us directly for large trade orders.
