Compatible with: C7 E12 base (Minleon V2 C7 + compatible E12 bulbs). Pro-installer pattern: pre-clip the stringer at ground level (faster than clipping mid-roof), then mount the pre-clipped line section-by-section. Pairs with C9\/C7 socket wire and matching male + female slide-on plugs to build a complete roofline run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- Section 3: Verified specs --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVerified specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"clhq-source-note\"\u003eEvery value below is pulled from the printed bag label and the certification mark.

A typical residential install runs the main facade on shingle, the side wings on gutter lip, and the front porch on facia.

Parapet clips need the installer to read the tile or stone cap profile and choose the right orientation. Magnetic clips need a steel substrate (and a deflection test before the customer signs the bid). Wedge is the no-decision clip — if the substrate is shingle or gutter, the Wedge works.
