PLT Solutions Holiday Stringers

With the holiday season is quickly approaching, it’s time to start ordering Christmas lights. Whether you’re a contractor needing to stock up for a busy season or a homeowner looking to replace some old strings, 1000Bulbs.com carries a wide variety of holiday lights. One of our most popular and versatile light strings are our 100-foot C7 and C9 stringers from PLT Solutions. In this post, we’ll highlight the benefits of these strings.

What Are 100-Foot Stringers?

100-foot stringers are light strings with either C7 or C9 sockets. Each stringer is made from 18 AWG gauge SPT-1 wire and has a fused male plug at the end. There are 100 sockets per string that are spaced 12 inches apart. C7 strings have candelabra (E12) sockets, while C9 strings have slightly larger intermediate (E17) sockets. Generally, these strings are available in either white or green. Bulbs are not included and are sold separately. This allows you to choose both the type, either incandescent or LED, and the colors you want.

What Are the Benefits?

100-foot C7 and C9 stringers have two main benefits that sets them apart from other lights. The first is that they can be cut to custom lengths. Each stringer comes with a 12-inch lead, and also a socket at the end. This end socket can easily be cut off. In fact, you can cut these stringers anywhere you want. All you need to do is add a female end or male plug if you need to, truly making these stringers customizable to any needs.

These second benefit is that these strings are super easy to take to job sites. You can order 10 or 20 at a time and either have them shipped direly to the job site or take them yourself. If you want, you can take two, or three, or four at a time. You don't have to use them all. And when you get there, cut them to whatever length you need.

And don’t forget to get light bulbs and other accessories. We offer a wide variety of plugs, mounting clips, and more to make installation a breeze. For more information about these and other Christmas products, call 1-800-624-4488 to speak with one of our lighting experts.
