Deep, rich purple — dramatic, regal and a fairground favourite. This purple 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 purple domed cap clips over the assembled base and bulb, casting a deep, rich purple glow — a dramatic and regal colour that works beautifully on ghost trains, carousel borders, and amusement ride fascias, as well as themed event installations, Halloween displays, and contemporary letter builds across the UK. Sold as one matched pair — one purple cap and one purple 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. Specifications: Fitting: E14 (small Edison screw, 14mm thread diameter) Cap colour: Purple Base colour: Purple Cap diameter: 60mm Assembly height: 63mm Compatible voltage: 24V DC or 240V AC E14 bulbs Material: Polycarbonate Sold as: 1 purple cap + 1 purple E14 base (bulb not included) Colour output: Through a warm white E14 LED bulb (2700K–3000K), the purple cap and base set produces a rich, deep violet-purple glow with a slightly warm, regal tone — atmospheric and dramatic, a standout choice for themed displays and fairground installations. Through a cool white bulb (4000K–6500K), the output becomes a purer, more vivid purple — brighter 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. Purple pairs particularly well with blue for a cool-toned jewel-like display, or with neon pink for a bold, high-contrast combination across a fairground fascia or event letter build. 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.

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.
