What do I need for a custom C9 roofline?

Start with C9 bulbs, compatible C9 socket wire, matching plugs and mounting clips suited to your roof or gutter. Check each product’s compatibility and ratings. Our starter kit builder helps you select supplies for your project.

12-inch or 15-inch socket spacing?

12-inch spacing places bulbs one foot apart. 15-inch spacing places them farther apart and uses fewer bulbs over the same length. Choose the look you prefer and order enough compatible bulbs for your selected socket wire.

How many bulbs should I order?

For an estimate, divide the measured run in feet by the socket spacing in feet: use 1 for 12-inch spacing or 1.25 for 15-inch spacing. Actual socket counts depend on the selected wire and cut points. Verify the required count and round up to whole packs before ordering.

How should I measure peaks and eaves?

Our roofline measuring tool provides an estimate from a map. Roof slopes, peaks and features that are not visible from above need separate measurements. Confirm your installation length rather than treating a satellite estimate as an exact material list.

Do plugs and wire need to match?

Yes. Match the plug’s specified wire type to the wire you buy; our SPT-1 products are identified on their product pages. Follow the product’s instructions and electrical ratings when planning your display.

What are the G12 strand specifications?

Our G12 listings feature 70 lights per strand with 4-inch spacing. Choose your color on the relevant product page and check the specifications before ordering.

Can I buy 5mm strobe lights individually?

Our clearance 5mm strobe listings are full-case purchases. The selected option shows the strand count and length. Quantity 1 means one case, and shipping is $25 per case with no free shipping on these cases.

Do you ship nationwide?

Yes. See shipping and ordering details for current shipping charges and exceptions. Checkout displays the cost for your order and delivery address.
