Plan the order

What to order when time is short

A rush order is any order where the date matters more than anything else: a tree lighting, family arriving, or an install that ran out of parts halfway down a gutter line.

A full roofline in one box

C9 installation kits bundle socket wire, LED C9 bulbs, slide-on plugs and clips at the listed length: 250, 500, 1,000, 2,000 or 4,000 ft., at 12 in. or 15 in. spacing.

C9 installation kits

Parts that run out mid-install

C9 O-clips, male and female slide-on plugs and C9 bulbs are the parts most likely to run short on install day. Each comes as a small pack or a case.

Clips and mounting

Extra footage

When a roofline turns out longer than measured, a 1,000 ft. C9 socket spool is cut to exact length and finished with a male and female plug.

C9 socket wire

Trees and shrubs

50-count LED mini light strands connect end to end and hang without tools. Plan about 100 lights per foot of tree height for a medium wrap.

Before you order

Avoid a second shipment

For a repair or extension, match three things to what's already installed. Getting all three right makes new sections indistinguishable from old ones.

  1. Socket spacingMeasure center to center: 12, 15 or 24 in.
  2. Bulb baseC9 bulbs use the E17 intermediate base.
  3. Color temperaturePrinted on the original bulb box, from sun warm white to cool white.

Add a spare-parts pack to the first order

Low-cost spares on the first order save waiting on a second shipment. Shipping stays free.

Sizing

Size a rush Christmas lights order in five steps

  1. List every edgeGutter lines, gable rakes, the garage and porch roof. The back of a garage return is the edge most often missed.
  2. Measure from the groundRun a measuring wheel under each gutter line. For a sloped gable, measure the span and multiply by about 1.15.
  3. Add a lead per runAllow a few feet per run to reach the outlet, or plan lamp cord for longer gaps.
  4. Pick one spacing12 in. for a solid line viewed up close, 15 in. for larger homes and buildings seen from the street.
  5. Round up to a kitSpare wire is cut and plugged for the next edge or next year's addition.
Do rush Christmas lights cost extra to ship?
No. Every order of rush Christmas lights ships the same day at no charge, shipping is free on all orders, and there are no fees added at checkout.
How fast will a rush order ship?
The same day it's placed, whatever time the order comes in, with free shipping. Transit time after that depends on the carrier and distance; the estimate at checkout comes from the carrier.
I'm out of clips halfway through an install. What's the smallest order?
A single 100-pack of C9 O-clips. Shipping is free with no minimum, so a one-item order ships the same day at no extra cost.
Should I order extra footage for a rush install?
Round up to the next kit size rather than cutting it close. Leftover socket wire is cut to length, finished with a male and female plug, and used on a porch, garage or next year's addition.
Can I mix a kit with bulk parts in one order?
Yes. A kit covers the main roofline, and a 1,000 ft. socket spool, extra bulb packs, clips and plugs can be added to the same order for extra edges.
What's the most common reason a rush order needs a second shipment?
Mismatched parts: a different socket spacing, bulb color temperature or clip type than what's already installed. Check all three before ordering.
How do I light a roofline on a deadline?
Order a C9 installation kit sized to your total footage. It arrives with wire, bulbs, plugs and clips together, so nothing has to be pieced together from separate orders.
What's the difference between C9 and C7 bulbs?
C9 bulbs are the larger of the two, about 1⅛ in. across on an E17 intermediate base, and are the standard for rooflines and commercial displays viewed from the street. C7 bulbs are smaller, on an E12 candelabra base, and suit close-viewed spaces like porches, railings and walkways.
How many bulbs do I need for a roofline?
Convert the run length to inches and divide by the socket spacing. A 100 ft. roofline is 1,200 in.; at 12 in. spacing that's 100 sockets and 100 bulbs, and at 15 in. spacing it's 80.
Should I choose 12 in. or 15 in. spacing?
12 in. spacing gives a tighter, brighter line and is common on single-story homes and anything viewed up close. 15 in. spacing uses about 20% fewer bulbs for the same footage and is common on larger homes and commercial rooflines viewed from a distance.
Which clip do I need?
C9 O-clips. Each one rings a C9 socket and hooks to the gutter edge, one clip per socket. Light stakes place C9 or C7 bulbs along walkways and beds.
Can I return items I don't use?
Yes. Unused, uninstalled product in its original, intact packaging can be returned within 30 days of delivery. Request the return before shipping anything back.
