Circus, Amusement & Carnival Lights

When the midway hums to life and the Ferris wheel starts spinning, the magic is all in the glow. Bright, colorful lights are what turn an empty lot into a fairground that feels alive. At Action Lighting™, we've spent decades supplying the circus lights, ride lighting, and accessories that bring amusement parks, carnivals, and traveling shows to life night after night.

Built for the Bright Lights of the Midway

Amusement operators have lighting needs that go well beyond what you'd find at a typical hardware store. Rides spin, vibrate, and travel hundreds of miles between setups. Lights need to survive rain, heat, dust, and the occasional bump in the road, all while drawing a crowd from across the parking lot.

That's the kind of work our products are built for. Our circus lighting lineup includes:

• Turbo Type Fixtures and Bulbs in a full spectrum of colors for marquee outlines and ride borders
• Cabochon LED Fixtures that give rides that classic, jewel-like sparkle
• Chasing Belt Lights and Controllers for animated, eye-catching effects
• Channel Lighting custom-built for ride exteriors, ticket booths, and signage
• Flood Lamps and RGBW Floods for dramatic colored washes over large surfaces
• Sockets, Seals, and Connectors rated for outdoor and on-the-road use

Whether you need a handful of replacement amusement ride lights or a complete custom channel system, we have the parts and the experience to put it all together.

A Track Record on the Midway

Since 1987, Action Lighting™ has been a trusted source for carnival lighting across the country. Our products appear on rides at major amusement parks, traveling carnivals, casino marquees, and sign shop builds. As direct importers and manufacturers, we keep deep stock across our three warehouses and ship the colors, voltages, and quantities most operators need without long lead times.

We also build "tailor-made" chase or steady-lit channel systems on request, which work beautifully for ride fronts, façades, and marquees where standard parts simply won't do.

Why Operators Come Back to Us

• Wide color selection, including amber, blue, green, fuchsia, clear, and more
• Multiple voltages from 24V to 240V to match domestic and international equipment
• LED and incandescent options for retrofits or new builds
• Knowledgeable staff who understand ride lights from the wiring up

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of lights are used on carnival rides? 

Most ride lights are turbo bulbs paired with colored cabochon fixtures, often wired into chasing belt light systems controlled by a chase controller. LED versions have largely replaced incandescent bulbs for energy savings and longer life.

Are LED circus lights bright enough for outdoor use? 

Yes. Modern SMD LED turbo bulbs and cabochon fixtures put out plenty of light for outdoor midways and stay visible from a distance, even under floodlights.

Can I get custom channel lighting for a ride or sign? 

We build custom chase and steady-lit channel systems for ride exteriors, marquees, façades, and signs. Reach out with your specs, and we'll put together a quote.

Do you ship outside the United States? 

Yes. We regularly export internationally and can help you match the right voltage for your region.
