C9 Starter Pack - 250ft/200ft

The C9 Pro Pack is the entry kit for contractors taking their first paid jobs — C9 socket wire, 200 bulbs, 200 Tuff Wedge clips, Gilbert plugs, jumper cord and a timer, all in one box. Available in 12" spacing (200 ft of wire) for the tighter, fuller roofline look, or 15" spacing (250 ft of wire) to cover more footage with the same bulb count. Covers 1-2 average homes.

Only lighting one elevation? Step down to the C9 Pack 100/125ft. Booking more than a couple of houses? Step up to the Starter Pack 1,000ft for 5-7 home routes.

Why This Kit Earns the Bid

Everything you need for your first C9 roofline. Stop piecing together orders from three different suppliers. This pack has everything you need in one box — bulbs, wire, clips, plugs, jumper cord and a timer. Choose your spacing and your bulb below.

Choose Your Bulb

Also available: Minleon V2 C9. The industry standard for color consistency and longevity, TRIAC-dimmable with a US patented circuit design. Contractor tested, season after season. Available in five contractor-spec colors:

• Warm White (3100-3500K) — warm, inviting white with a clean edge
• Pure White (3950-4050K) — crisp, clean, modern and commercial
• Cool White (7000-9000K) — brightest, cool-tone finish
• Multicolor — festive, family-friendly, themed displays
• Sun Warm White (2600-2800K) — warmest tone, traditional residential look

Every bulb fits the same standard C9 E17 socket, so you can swap or mix colors from the full C9 bulb lineup without changing the kit's spacing.

Choose Your Spacing: 12" or 15"

This kit works differently from the larger packs. You get 200 bulbs and 200 clips either way — the spacing changes how much wire those 200 bulbs are spread across. Tighter spacing means a denser look over less roofline; wider spacing stretches the same bulbs further.

Most residential contractors run 12". It's the denser, more premium look and it's what customers picture when they think of a professionally lit roofline. Choose 15" when the roofline you're bidding is longer than 200 ft and you'd rather cover all of it than light part of it densely. Read our Voltage Drop Guide before ordering long runs.

What's Included

Select your spacing above — the wire footage changes with it. Everything else is the same in both configurations.

• 200 ft of C9 socket wire (SPT-1, green, 12" spacing) or 250 ft (SPT-1, green, 15" spacing)
• 200 C9 LED bulbs
• 200 Tuff Wedge clips
• 10 male & 10 female Gilbert plugs
• 25 ft bare SPT-1 green jumper cord
• 1 outdoor LED-rated timer

Why This Pack

This pack covers 1-2 average homes. The average home takes 150-200 ft of roofline, so plan accordingly. Every component is commercial grade — the same product professional installers use on paid jobs. Nothing here is a homeowner-store version of a pro part.

This is the tier for proving the work before you commit real money to inventory. Light one house properly, photograph it, and use it to book the next five. King Pro Bulbs C9 is what we spec first — these 200 bulbs will be in your bin for years, and the nickel base and thick polycarbonate lens are what determine whether they come back out usable.

Inside This Kit

Exact part counts pulled from the kit's composition spec. Every item ships in the box.

Who This Kit Is Built For

Your first paid install. You've decided to charge for this. One box, one house, no scrambling to a big-box store mid-job because you're short on clips. Do it right the first time and you'll have a photo good enough to sell the next job with.

Testing the business before you commit. Christmas lighting looks great on paper until you've actually hung a roofline in the cold. This is the smallest way to find out whether you want to build a route — without sitting on thousands of feet of wire if the answer is no.

Adding an accent run to a bigger job. Already running larger kits? Keep a Pro Pack on the truck for detached garages, entry columns, secondary structures, or the driveway line a customer adds after you've quoted the house.

Grow Your Install — Compatible Add-Ons

More bulbs or different color. The kit fits standard C9 E17 sockets. Add or swap bulbs from the full C9 lineup — every C9 color fits the same socket spacing.

Longer run or extra wire. Add a 1,000 ft C9 SPT-1 socket wire spool or SPT-1 extension wire if the property exceeds the kit's wire footage.

Different clip type for the install surface. The kit ships with Tuff Wedge Clips for gutter mount. Add Tile Clips for tile roof, Tuff Mag for metal substrate, or Parapet Clips for stone/parapet caps.

Automation and timing. Comes with 1 outdoor LED-rated timer for dusk-to-dawn or scheduled run times. Add a second if you are running two homes off separate outlets. GFCI outlet required.

How to Install This Kit

Pro-installer steps for the C9 Pro Pack across a 1-2 home job.

1. Measure first, cut once. Walk the roofline with a wheel before you cut anything. Add 10% for peaks, dormers and the drop to the outlet. Cut your sections at the shop, not on the ladder.
2. Pre-bulb and pre-clip on the ground. Seat every bulb hand-tight and slide the clips on before the wire leaves the driveway. This is the single biggest time saver on a first install.
3. Test before you climb. Plug the full run in on the ground and walk it. Swapping a dead bulb takes seconds down here and a trip up the ladder later.
4. Mount along the eave. Work in one direction, seating each Tuff Wedge clip on the shingle or gutter lip as you go. Keep the wire snug — sag is what customers notice from the street.
5. Terminate and route to a GFCI outlet. Slide-on plugs at the line ends, jumper cord down to the outlet. Test the whole display once more before you pack up.
