Create a Custom C9 Christmas Roofline

C9 bulbs are ideal for prominent rooflines, but mini lights are better suited for many of the smaller details around your property. Add mini lights to railings, shrubs, columns, small trees and landscape features to complete your display.
Mini Lights for Trees & Landscaping
Mini Christmas lights are ideal for wrapping smaller trees, highlighting shrubs and adding holiday lighting throughout landscaped areas where larger C9 bulbs would be too dominant.
Mini Lights for Railings & Architectural Details
Use mini lights on porch railings, columns, handrails and other smaller architectural features to add depth and detail beyond the main roofline.
Build Your DIY Christmas Display
Mix roofline C9 lighting with smaller mini-light accents to create a more complete holiday display.
C9 Roofline Lighting
Use C9 bulbs along gutters, roof edges and peaks to create the traditional large-bulb Christmas roofline appearance.
Mini Christmas Lights
Use smaller mini lights for railings, trees, shrubs, columns and areas where a tighter, more detailed lighting pattern works better.
Installation Accessories
Clips, plugs and related components help complete the project and support a cleaner Christmas-light installation.
