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: Red, White, and Blue Lights
Should we use C7 or C9 bulbs for a patriotic display?
C9 bulbs are larger and brighter, so they suit rooflines, tall trees, and displays viewed from the street. C7 bulbs are smaller and work well on shrubs, railings, and storefronts seen up close. Both use the same commercial stringer systems.
Can we use our Christmas light stringers for patriotic bulbs?
Yes. Our patriotic C7 and C9 bulbs fit standard C7 and C9 sockets, so you can swap colors on the same wire you already own for the holidays.
How much energy do LED bulbs save?
An LED C7 bulb draws about 0.45 watts and an LED C9 about 0.65 watts, compared with 5 watts for an incandescent C7. On a large building, that difference adds up quickly.
How are the bulbs sold?
C7 and C9 bulbs are sold in boxes of 25. Patriotic rope lights come on 150 foot spools.
Do you sell the wire and clips too?
Yes. Our lighting hardware collection includes bulk C7 and C9 socket wire, replacement sockets, and clips for buildings and silhouette frames.
