Handmade. PAT Tested. Ready to use. Every cross is individually handmade from timber in the UK and PAT tested before dispatch — so you can use it at licensed venues and events with complete confidence. Mains operated via a standard UK plug with no specialist wiring or installation required. Simply position, plug in, and switch on.

Indoor use only. This cross is designed and built for indoor use. It is not suitable for outdoor installation or use in exposed conditions.

Compatibility: Mains operated — requires a standard UK 3-pin plug socket. No additional power supply, transformer or controller required. If you need multiple crosses or are running several illuminated props from the same circuit, contact us for advice on power requirements.

How can it be used? The light-up cross is a standalone illuminated display piece. To use it, you will need:

  • A standard UK mains socket — within reach of the cross power lead
  • A flat, stable surface or floor space — the cross is freestanding and does not require wall mounting
  • Indoor venue space only — not suitable for outdoor use

No additional components, bulbs, or accessories are required. The cross arrives fully assembled, wired, and ready to plug in.

FAQs

What is an E14 cabochon light base?

An E14 cabochon light base is the socket component that screws into a light-up letter or fairground sign frame. It holds an E14 screw-fit LED bulb in position and sits beneath the coloured or clear plastic cap (the cabochon). Together, the base, bulb, and cap form one complete light point.

What is the difference between E10 and E14 cap and base sets?

10 and E14 refer to the diameter of the Edison screw fitting on the base — 10mm and 14mm respectively. E14 uses a 60mm cap and is the standard fitting for most fairground rides, large marquee letter builds, and statement display signage. E10 uses a smaller 40mm cap and suits compact fittings and smaller-scale installations. The two sizes are not interchangeable — check your existing cap diameter or lampholder thread before ordering. If you're unsure, send us a photo via our contact page and we'll confirm the correct size before you order.

How many sets do I need for my installation?

One set per light bulb. A typical 1-metre capital letter uses approximately 6 light points depending on light up letter style and bulb spacing. For fairground ride borders and fascia panels, 6–10cm spacing gives the classic open fairground look. Contact us with your dimensions and we'll help you calculate the right quantities.

Are these suitable for outdoor use?

Yes. The polycarbonate cap and base are suitable for both indoor and outdoor event and display use. For permanent outdoor installations in exposed conditions, ensure your lampholder and wiring are rated appropriately for outdoor use — the cap and base themselves are weather tolerant but the full assembly should be specified for the environment.

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.

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.

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.
