Hardware & Lighting Supplies

Everything between the bulb and the roofline. Clips for every surface type. SPT-1 and SPT-2 zip cord in bulk rolls. Gilbert plugs and connectors. Stakes, timers, extension cables, and splitters. This is the hardware that holds your install together.

What Professional Installers Need

Bulbs and lights get the attention. Hardware makes the install work. The right clip keeps your lights locked in through wind and ice storms. The right wire gauge prevents voltage drop on long runs. The right plug makes a clean, weatherproof connection that lasts all season.

Stock Your Truck Right

Running out of clips mid-job costs you time and money. Smart installers keep a full hardware kit on the truck at all times. Bulk pricing means stocking up makes financial sense.

Frequently Asked Questions

What hardware do I need to start a Christmas light installation business?

At minimum: clips for the roof types in your market, bulk wire or pre-made stringers, Gilbert plugs, a timer, and extension cables. Start with a Pro Light Kit for your first jobs, then stock individual components as you learn what your market needs.

How do I prevent voltage drop on long runs?

Use SPT-2 wire for runs over 150 feet. Add a power tap (vampire plug) at the midpoint of long runs to inject power from a second outlet. Keep total LED count per circuit within the manufacturer rating. Plan your power layout before you start hanging lights.

What timer should I use for Christmas lights?

A photocell timer is the simplest option. Lights on at dusk, off at a set time. No programming needed. For more control, use a digital programmable timer. Check our timer collection for options.

How much hardware should I stock on my truck?

Carry at least 3 types of clips (gutter, shingle, and all-purpose), a roll of SPT-1 and SPT-2 wire, a bag of male and female Gilbert plugs, extension cables in multiple lengths, and a few splitters. Running out mid-job costs more than stocking up.
