Why This Kit Earns the Bid

Everything you need for 250ft of C9 roofline. Stop piecing together orders from three different suppliers. This pack has everything you need to light 250 ft of roofline in one box — bulbs, wire, clips, plugs, and jumper wire. The right kit for taking on a couple of homes or a bigger first job without committing to a full-volume route kit. Choose your bulb color below.

What's Included

This is the 12" spacing configuration — bulbs spaced every 12 inches for a tighter, fuller roofline look. The base kit includes:

• 250 ft of C9 socket wire (SPT-1, green, 12" spacing)
• 250 Minleon V2 C9 LED bulbs
• 250 Tuff Wedge clips
• 10 male & 14 female Gilbert plugs
• 100' bare SPT-1 green jumper wire

Choose Your Bulb Color

Available in four contractor-spec C9 colors:

• Sun Warm White — warmest tone, traditional residential look
• Pure White — crisp, clean, modern and commercial
• Cool White — brighter, cool-tone finish
• Multicolor — festive, family-friendly, themed displays

All four fit 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.

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, sized for a couple of homes so you can scale up from a single install without overbuying.

Minleon V2 bulbs are the industry standard for color consistency and longevity. Contractor tested, season after season.

Why 12" Spacing?

12-inch spacing gives you a tighter, fuller look — the most popular choice for residential contractors who want maximum visual density on the roofline. If you'd rather stretch your footage further with fewer bulbs on longer rooflines, choose the 15" spacing version instead. Read our Voltage Drop Guide before ordering long runs.

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

Who This Kit Is Built For

1-2 home install. One or two average homes, covered in one box. The right step up from a single-home starter kit.

Bigger first job. Moving past your first single-home install? This kit gives you the exact commercial-grade components the big crews use, sized for a couple of homes so you can grow your route without overbuying.

Accent or add-on run. Already running a route but need a longer stretch of C9 for multiple peaks, a detached structure, or a small commercial accent? 250 ft covers it.

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. Or step up to the Starter Pack 1,000ft for a full route.

Add a timer. This kit doesn't include a timer. Add an outdoor LED-rated timer for dusk-to-dawn or scheduled run times. GFCI outlet required.

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.

Permanent lighting upgrade path. When seasonal C9 isn't enough, the King Permanent Lighting system replaces the C9 stringer with a year-round RGB LED channel.

How to Install This Kit

Pro-installer steps for the C9 Pro Pack 250ft across a 1-2 home install.

1. Pre-stage at the shop or on-site. Measure each roofline, then pre-bulb and pre-clip the runs before you go up the ladder.
2. Mount each run. ~30-45 minutes per home. Slide the Tuff Wedge clips section by section along the eave.
3. Add plug pair per stringer. Most homes use 1 stringer per side of the roofline = 2 plug pairs per home.
4. Route to GFCI outlet + test. Walk each run plugged in. Swap any DOA bulbs before you call the job done.
