4 Things to Know about C9 Christmas Lighting like a Pro

Ever wonder how homes achieve that perfect, professional Christmas lighting look without hiring the pros? This video breaks down the four key essentials you need to know to get that polished look yourself.

1. Light Line: Use 18-gauge C9 empty socket light line for durability and performance. Avoid lower quality 20-gauge cord. Socket spacing options range from 6" to 36", with 12" being the most popular choice.

2. C9 Bulbs: Get bulbs from commercial suppliers instead of big box stores. High-quality bulbs last many seasons and maintain their color and brightness.

3. Attachment Accessories: Use premium light clips for easy installation and removal. We recommend circle clips that stay attached to the socket for hassle-free reuse. Stakes are perfect for lining your yard.

4. Vampire Plugs: These plugs are the secret to powering your lights anywhere along the line. Use 18/2 male and female vampire plugs for ultimate flexibility.
