How a spool run goes together

Socket wire from a spool is built into runs on site, so each run matches the roofline instead of a fixed pre-made strand.

  1. MeasureWalk each roofline, peak and ridge and add the lead distance from the outlet.
  2. CutCut the socket wire between two sockets at the measured length.
  3. PlugAdd a male plug to start the run and a female plug to end it or feed the next run.
  4. HangClip the run to the gutter or shingles and screw in the C9 bulbs.

500 ft spool questions

How many bulbs does a 500 ft spool hold?

500 feet at 15 inch spacing holds 400 sockets. At 12 inch spacing it holds 500 sockets, and at 24 inch spacing it holds 250.

Can a 500 ft spool be cut into shorter runs?

Yes. Cut the socket wire between sockets and add a male plug to start each new run and a female plug to end it or to daisy-chain the next one.

When is the magnetic spool the right choice?

On metal surfaces: standing-seam roofs, steel fascia, metal awnings and commercial canopies. The magnets hold the run without clips or fasteners.

Are bulbs included with the spool?

No. The socket wire spools ship without bulbs or plugs. LED C9 bulbs, O-clips and plugs are sold separately at Christmas Light Supplier.
