When installs are weeks away, a factory order is no longer an option for this season. This page lists the core C9 and mini light components available from US inventory, with the prices listed on the date above and the per-unit math.

Updated September 27, 2026. Prices checked September 27, 2026.

Why buy US stock this season

US inventory is the answer to three situations an import cannot handle: the season has already started, the quantity is below a factory minimum, or the need is unpredictable. Christmas Light Supplier ships same day with free shipping on every order, no minimum and no fees, so the price on the product page is the delivered price. There is no deposit, no customs entry, no storage bill and no forecast to get wrong.

Speed

Same-day shipping from US stock, so reorders keep pace with jobs as they are sold.

Price

Free shipping on every order and no fees, so the listed price is what the part costs you delivered.

No minimum

Buy one strand, one 25-pack or one spool. Nothing sits in storage waiting for next year.

Per-socket figures divide the spool price by the number of sockets on 1,000 ft at that spacing: 1,000 sockets at 12 in, 800 at 15 in, 500 at 24 in. The 12 in spacing spool comes to $0.275 per socket, the 15 in spacing spool to $0.300, and the 24 in spacing spool to $0.578.

Case versus pack

The 500-bulb case works out to $0.638 per bulb against $0.798 per bulb for a 25-pack, about 20% less per bulb. The mini light case follows the same pattern: $10.83 per strand in the 24-strand case against $14.50 for a single strand. Use cases for the core color and packs for accent colors and repairs.

Complete kits

For a full roofline setup, installation kits combine socket wire, C9 LED bulbs, clips, plugs and lamp cord in one order. The C9 250 ft commercial installation kit was listed at $425.00, the C9 500 ft 15 in spacing kit at $823.12, and the C9 1,000 ft 15 in spacing kit at $1,299.00. Check each product page for the exact contents and color options.

Using US stock alongside an import

If you already import your main bulb and wire spec, US stock covers what the container does not: accent colors below a factory minimum, repair parts, a spacing you do not carry, and overflow when sales outrun the forecast. Before mixing, match the specs covered in the spare-parts guide: compare Kelvin ratings and a reference bulb, confirm the E17 base fits your sockets, and check plug compatibility with your wire jacket.
