Make your own extension cord christmas lights.

The short answer is possibly. Partylights has you covered with a variety of cord styles and colors all available in custom lengths. We sell the cords by the socket so it s easy to get the exact length of string lighting. Extension cords are not only expensive but with large christmas light displays they can create a very large and often ugly mess of tangled wires that distracts from the beauty of the display.

The light stringers use a two wire configuration only and the stringers can be bought in up to 1 000 ft spools which is what professional installers often use to create custom length light runs for homes that feature roof lines with extra peaks windows. The cord is commonly called as zip cord and comes in two variations 250 and 1000 spools. Wal mart is going to get a much better deal on 10 million feet of extension cords than you ever will buying 500 feet of zip cord. Light stringers where bulbs can be replaced are commonly used for c7 and c9 christmas bulb displays.

The cord used for building custom lines is called an empty socket light line. You can make your own extension cords for christmas lights by using slide on plugs. The first step in building your own customized light line is choosing the cord you re going to use. You can use either spt 1 or spt 2 lamp.

It s called empty socket because you purchase the bulbs separately and screw them into the fittings molded into the line. Typically mass produced extension cords are cheaper than single cords you could make yourself. Most of my display is wired with standard store bought cords.
