    A custom fit for any roofline

    Build a custom run for any roofline: cut, plug, bulb and light.

    1. Cut to Length

      Every C9 cord can be cut to fit your roofline. Make sure it's unplugged, then trim it to length with wire cutters.

    2. Add Your Plugs

      Snap a male SPT-1 plug on one end of the cord and a female plug on the other. Line the ribbed side of the cord up with the wide slot, press the cap down firmly, and your custom-length run is ready to light.

    3. Bulb and Clip

      Add your bulbs and clips on the ground, then clip the line to your roofline as you go, making sure each bulb is held tightly in place.

    4. Light Them Up

      Plug in and enjoy the glow. At just 0.58 watts a bulb, you'll light more roofline per outlet than you ever could with incandescents.

    Pro tip: Screw bulbs in snug, not tight, and test each run on the ground before you climb the ladder.

    Vintage look. Modern LED.

    VINTAGE

    The classic glass-bulb look

    A clear lens and glowing filament recreate the warm, old-fashioned C9, without the heat or the power bill.

    E17

    Fits the C9 strings you already own

    Standard E17 intermediate base. Unscrew the old incandescents, screw these in. No new wire needed.

    0.58W

    Pennies to run all season

    A 7-watt incandescent C9 uses about 12 times the power. Run longer rooflines on the same outlet.

    Questions before you buy

    Filament or SMD: which should I choose?

    Filament bulbs have a clear lens with a visible glowing filament, for the warm, nostalgic look of an old-fashioned incandescent C9. SMD bulbs use a faceted lens that sparkles and throws more color. Both use the same E17 base and 0.58 watts, so choose purely on the look you want.

    Compare all C9 retro fit bulbs

    Will these fit my current C9 light strings?

    Yes, if your strings take standard C9 bulbs. These use the E17 intermediate base found on C9 socket wire and traditional C9 strings, so they screw right in where your old incandescent bulbs were.

    How many bulbs do I need?

    At the most common 12-inch socket spacing, you need one bulb per foot, so a 25-pack covers about 25 feet. At 8-inch spacing, plan on 1.5 bulbs per foot; at 15 or 18 inches, a little less than one. Add a few spares.

    Are they dimmable?

    Yes. They're fully dimmable.

    When will my order ship?

    Orders placed by 2pm Eastern typically ship the same day from our Michigan warehouse by USPS or UPS. Orders over $129 ship free; smaller orders ship for a flat $5.99–$9.99 depending on destination. See shipping details and transit map.

    What's the warranty?

    All holiday lights carry a three-year limited warranty: 100% of replacement cost in year one, 50% in year two and 33% in year three. A year is one 90-day lighting season. Full warranty details.

    I'm an installer. Do you offer wholesale pricing?

    Our 500-pack is the lowest price per bulb, with no account needed. For ongoing volume, see our wholesale information.
