Red E14 Cabochon Cap & Base Set

Bold, classic red — the most iconic and timeless colour in the palette.

This red E14 cabochon cap and base set is the two-part plastic housing that forms each individual light point on a fairground display, light-up letter, illuminated sign, or amusement ride border. The red domed cap clips over the assembled base and bulb, casting a bold, vivid red glow — the most classic and instantly recognisable colour in fairground and carnival lighting, found on waltzers, ghost trains, carousel borders, dodgem canopies and amusement park fascias across the UK.

Sold as one matched pair — one red cap and one red base — ready to combine with an E14 LED bulb for a light point.

These are the same components used in our own professional letter fleet, deployed at weddings, venue installations and corporate events across the UK — so we know exactly what they're capable of and how they hold up under repeated use.

Colour output: Through a warm white E14 LED bulb (2700K–3000K), the red cap and base set produces a rich, deep red glow with a warm, slightly amber tone — bold and dramatic, the quintessential fairground colour that reads powerfully from a distance on any display or ride. Through a cool white bulb (4000K–6500K), the output becomes a purer, more vivid pillar-box red — crisper and more intensely saturated. For maximum colour intensity, cool white is the better pairing. Cool white bulbs are available to order with approximately 2 weeks lead time — contact us before placing your order.

Red pairs particularly well with yellow and orange for the classic warm-toned fairground multicolour look, or alternated with clear caps for a striking red-and-white display across a letter or ride fascia.

What it's used for: Light-up letter and number builds for weddings, parties, corporate events, and venue installations; fairground-style marquee signage and illuminated shopfronts; amusement park rides and fairground attractions — including waltzers, carousels, ghost trains, dodgem arenas, big wheels, and ride canopy fascias; travelling fair equipment; film, TV and theatre set dressing; retail window displays and exhibition stands; hospitality venue feature lighting. If you see the classic domed fairground bulb anywhere — in a production, at a venue, on a ride — this cap and base set is the housing creating that effect.

No minimum order. Trade quantities available. Unlike some suppliers, we don't require a minimum order — buy exactly what you need.

Compatibility: E14 fitting only — not compatible with E10 (40mm) fittings. Requires a separately purchased E14 LED bulb to function. Compatible with 24V DC and 240V AC E14 bulbs. See our Full Light Set (cap + base + bulb) for the complete assembly in one product.

How can it be used? To create one completely working light point, you will need the following components working together:

• E14 Cabochon Base — the conic housing that sits in your letter panel or ride fascia
• E14 Cabochon Cap — the domed cover that clips over the base and bulb
• E14 LED Bulb — the light source that screws into the base via the Edison screw thread
• Nut and nut holder — used to secure the base firmly into your panel or fascia, ensuring the unit stays fixed in place during use, transport, and repeated setup

All four components are required for a fully functional, secure light point. The cap and base set covers the first two — see our E14 LED bulbs to add the light source, and ensure you have the correct nut and nut holder for your panel thickness before installing.
