What? Spools of wire don't have lights on them?!

When you are wanting to do a large scale lighting project or need customs length strings you probably going to have to get a large spool of lightline. These bulk rolls of wire come in a variety of colors and spacings for both C7 and C9 spools. All of our spools are 18 gauge wire, but we do have some spools that have a thicker insulation (Spt-2) which can handle more power. And no none of our spools have bulbs on them.

Now you may be wondering why we don't offer bulbs already on this wire, well...the bulbs would break. These spools are tightly wound to get them in the smallest boxes possible, which can greatly reduce shipping costs (Many 3 Day, 2nd Day, and Next Day shipment costs are calculated by the size of the box, not the weight). Most of the time when you are decorating a building, you want to securely attach the wire and sockets first, then go back and put the bulbs in or put them in as soon as you secure the socket.

It may seem crazy that you cant get a pre-lit spool, but that's the way it is.
