- Bulk Wire in the Gauge You Need: Choose 14, 16, or 18 gauge bulk wire in 250 or 500 foot coils with C7 or C9 sockets. Heavier gauges carry longer runs, and 18 gauge SPT-1 wire suits standard rooflines and trees.
- Twist-On and Nylon Socket Options: Our 14 gauge C9 coils come with twist-on or nylon sockets, and replacement C7 and C9 sockets are sold in packs of 25 for repairs and custom lengths. Twist-on sockets add convenience, while nylon sockets suit standard runs.
- Clips for Buildings and Silhouettes: C7/C9 C-clips mount wire to buildings, and C7 silhouette frame clips fit 1/4 or 3/8 inch rods for decorations, both in bags of 100. Bags of 100 cover large buildings and multiple frames without frequent reordering.
- Build Runs to Any Length: Bulk wire lets you cut runs to fit each roofline, tree, and frame exactly. Leads and plugs are typically not included, so plan to add them to your order. Every installation fits its space without excess wire or awkward gaps.

We ordered new outside banners and had a fantastic experience. Lukas worked very hard to make sure the banners were exactly what we wanted. The banners look terrific and we are so pleased with the amazing service Display Sales offered.
Display Sales does a great job. They come out and do a plan, go back and say this is what you do. They really went above and beyond making sure that you were gonna be satisfied and the it was gonna work and it wasn't going to be a pain for you to take care of.
the quality of the banners is really high. Obviously in Minnesota we face a lot of weather. In the summer they're getting beaten down with the sun. And yet year over year they continue to look beautiful. And that's something you want in a product and an investment like that.

FAQs: Commercial Lighting Hardware
What gauge wire should we use for commercial Christmas lights?
Heavier wire carries more bulbs over longer runs. 18 gauge SPT-1 wire works for most rooflines and trees, while 16 and 14 gauge wire suits longer runs and larger commercial installations. Our team can help you size wire to your layout.
What socket spacing is available?
Our 18 gauge C9 coil has sockets spaced every 12 inches. Contact us for spacing on other coils.
Does bulk wire come with plugs?
Leads and plugs are typically not included with bulk wire, since runs are cut to custom lengths. Add them to your order when you plan each run.
What clips do you carry?
We carry C7/C9 C-clips for buildings and C7 silhouette frame clips for 1/4 or 3/8 inch rods, sold in bags of 100.
Will this wire work with your Halloween and patriotic bulbs?
Yes. Our C7 and C9 wire and sockets take our Christmas, Halloween, and patriotic C7 and C9 bulbs, so one set of wire serves every season.
