Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between socket wire spools and stringers?
cket wire spools are bulk reels of wire with sockets at regular intervals, allowing for custom-length cuts. Stringers are pre-cut lengths of socket wire, typically with plugs attached, ready for immediate use.
Can I use the same socket wire for both C7 and C9 bulbs?
No, C7 and C9 bulbs require different socket sizes. Always check the product specifications to ensure you're using the correct socket wire for your chosen bulb type.
How do I determine the right spacing for my project?
Common spacings are 12", 15", and 24". Use closer spacing (12"-15") for dense, vibrant displays on rooflines or fences. Wider spacing (24" or more) works well for tree wrapping or creating a more subtle effect.
Are these socket wires suitable for outdoor use?
Most of our socket wires are rated for both indoor and outdoor use. Look for products labeled as "weatherproof" or "outdoor-rated" for the best durability in external conditions.
How many bulbs can I safely connect on a single run?
This depends on the wire's amperage rating and the wattage of your bulbs. For example, on an 8-amp wire, you can typically run up to 160 sockets with 5-watt incandescent bulbs or 384 sockets with 1-watt LED bulbs. Always check the product specifications and local electrical codes for safe operation.
