2026 season: the opening inventory is arriving for the install season now. Call 540-300-3122 to confirm case availability before you drive, and we'll have it pulled at the counter.
Who this counter is for
Exterior cleaning crews, landscapers, gutter and roofing companies, and handyman outfits that hang Christmas lights from mid-October to Thanksgiving. If that's you, this is the supply house you've been ordering online from — except it's ten minutes from the job, there's no freight, and the counter already knows your rig. We don't sell holiday lighting to homeowners; if you're lighting your own house, this isn't the counter for you.
The C9 roofline system, by the case
Installers don't buy "Christmas lights" — they buy a system: socket cord cut to the roofline, retrofit bulbs, slide plugs to terminate each run, and clips to hold it. Every piece below is the commercial version of that system, and every C9 bulb here fits every C9 cord here (E17 base).
C9 V2 LED faceted retrofit bulb — Sun Warm White
1000' C9 SPT-1 socket cord — 12" spacing, green
SPT-1 slide plugs — male, female, inline
All-In-One clip — shingle and gutter in one
5MM wide-angle LED minis — 50L, 6" spacing, Sun Warm White
Light-sensing outdoor timer
500' SPT-1 bulk zip cord — green
Pre-lit LED wreath 36" — Sun Warm White
Also on the shelf: C7 LED retrofit bulbs (E12), G30/G40/G50 bistro globes, the Minleon 250' C9 contractor kit, shatterproof ornaments and ribbon. Contractor pricing is quoted at the counter — call for case pricing on bulbs, cord and clips.
Clips, tabs and stakes — the part that gets ordered last and runs out first
The All-In-One clip does shingles and gutters with one part, which is why crews buy it by the two-thousand. Shingle tabs and MUSA gutter clips are here for crews that run separate stock, parapet and peak clips handle commercial rooflines, magnetic C9 clips go on metal, and 7" ground stakes keep walk and bed runs straight. Zip ties, pole hooks and the socket wrench with clipper round out the bag.
Cord and bulb math the counter will do with you
- 12" vs 15" spacing. 12" is the dense, premium roofline look most residential customers are paying for; 15" stretches a spool further on long commercial runs. A 1000' spool takes 1,000 bulbs at 12" and 800 at 15".
- SPT-1 vs SPT-2. SPT-1 (18 AWG) is the standard for LED rooflines; SPT-2 has heavier insulation for longer or abused runs. Plugs must match the cord gauge — we stock both.
- Colors. Sun Warm White carries roughly two-thirds of residential jobs; red pairs with white for candy-cane rooflines; multi, pure white and cool white cover the rest. Twinkle bulbs are the upsell.
- Power. Brown extension cords and triple taps disappear against trim; one light-sensing timer per circuit makes the display run itself.
Why buy holiday lighting here instead of online
Bulbs, clips, plugs and sockets go on backorder industry-wide by mid-November — the week your best customers call. We stock exactly those items deep, from two suppliers, so a crew that's short two cases on a Thursday can be back on the ladder Thursday afternoon. No freight, no two-week wait, no minimum order beyond the case, and it's the same counter that fills your SH, stocks your surfactants and fixes your pressure washer when the wash season winds down.

FAQ
Where can install crews buy Christmas light supplies near Manassas or Fredericksburg, VA?
Capital Pressure Supply stocks commercial C9 LED bulbs, SPT-1 socket cord, slide plugs, All-In-One clips, 5MM mini lights, timers and pre-lit greenery by the case at 11900 Livingston Rd Ste 139, Manassas (Mon–Fri 7–6, Sat 9–3) and 10817 Courthouse Rd, Fredericksburg (Mon–Fri 8–4, Sat 9–3). Contractors and install crews only.
What clips do professional installers use for Christmas lights?
Most crews standardize on the All-In-One clip, which holds C9 socket cord on both shingles and gutters so one part covers most of a roofline. Shingle tabs and gutter clips are the single-purpose alternatives; parapet and peak clips handle commercial edges; magnetic clips go on metal; ground stakes keep walkway and bed runs straight. We stock all of them by the case.
Should I run 12-inch or 15-inch C9 socket cord?
12-inch spacing is the dense, premium roofline look most residential customers expect and is the pro standard; 15-inch stretches a spool further on long commercial runs. A 1000-foot spool takes 1,000 C9 bulbs at 12 inches and 800 at 15. We stock 12, 15, 18, 24 and 36-inch spacing in green, plus white cord.
Do you sell Minleon bulbs?
Yes — Minleon C9 V2 LED faceted retrofit bulbs (E17 base) in Sun Warm White, Traditional Warm White, Pure White, Cool White, Multi, Red, Green, Blue, Orange, Yellow, Pink, Purple and Teal, plus Twinkle and filament versions, in cases of 500. C7 LED retrofit bulbs (E12) are stocked as well.
Do you sell holiday lighting to homeowners?
No. This is a contractor supply counter — the products are sold by the case to install crews, landscapers, exterior cleaning companies and other professionals. We don't install lights and we don't sell to homeowners.
What's the difference between SPT-1 and SPT-2 cord?
Both are 18 AWG zip cord; SPT-2 has thicker insulation for longer or harder-used runs, while SPT-1 is the everyday standard for LED rooflines. Slide plugs are gauge-specific, so match plugs to cord — we stock socket cord, bulk cord and plugs in both.
