Electrical accessories like bulk wire (also called zip cord), zip sockets and zip plugs are the building blocks you can use to create custom stringers to take your Christmas lights display to the next level. Place lights exactly where you want them - and no place else. Make custom runs of for the exact length you need, and lose the spaghetti bowl of extension cords. You're in control with zip plugs and zip wire, so you can have Christmas lights that look not only beautiful, but clean and professional too.
You've seen them everywhere, although you may not realize it. Outlining rooftops at Christmas, like a welcome sign for Santa. Outlining driveways and walkways, as if to welcome friends and neighbors to your front door. Or glowing like candles in trees and greenery, celebrating the sacredness of the season. They're "C bulbs" - C7 and C9 Christmas lights, the "big bulb" lights that conjure warm memories of Christmases past even as they invite you to create new memories at Christmas today.
C7 Christmas light bulbs have E12 bases and are smaller than C9 bulbs. Because of their small size, C7 bulbs are popular for use indoors and on smaller residences like condos and townhomes. C7 bulbs can be wrapped around indoor trees and used to illuminate a festive mantel display. Outdoor uses include wrapping columns, railings and small bushes or outlining windows and door frames.
C9 Christmas light bulbs have E17 bases and are noticeably larger than C7s. They are especially eye catching from structures that are tall or further away, and perfect for large scale holiday displays. While C9 bulbs are regularly used to outline roofs and driveways, these bold lights have also become a popular alternative to globe patio lights for use during outdoor events and everyday backyard patio lighting.
If you're looking for the gold standard in Christmas lights, you've found them. OptiCore® bulbs from Wintergreen Lighting® feature thick polycarbonate lenses that not only make them virtually unbreakable, but give them a magical glow as the light from inside the bulb resonates through the lens. Available in diamond-faceted or smooth opaque lens styles, in a wide variety of colors and color combinations, these Christmas lights are designed to take the worst that winter can throw at them, and keep shining beautifully.
Vintage-style Edison bulbs evoke a special kind of Christmas nostalgia. Wintergreen Lighting® FlexFilament® Christmas light bulbs feature graceful, curved filaments lined with LED diodes, to give you a bulb packed with old-world charm, and all the advantages of modern LEDs. The PolyFlex PET lenses are shatterproof, yet lightweight, so you can use these bulbs anywhere worry-free. And the transparent lens lets all the Christmas cheer of that visible filament shine through.
