Everything You Need to Know About Christmas Light Accessories

The Christmas Light Accessories collection is the complete installation toolkit — everything needed to build, run, and maintain a professional-grade light display. C7 and C9 stringers, SPT wire, vampire plugs, light clips, timers, chase controllers, socket covers, and repair tools, all in one place.

What’s in This Collection

SPT1 & SPT2 Wire — Raw lamp cord for building custom runs and extensions.

Vampire Plugs (Slide-On Plugs) — Male and female plugs that slide onto SPT wire to create connections without cutting or stripping. Also known as Gilbert plugs.

Light Clips — Shingle clips, all-in-one clips, gutter clips, and specialty clips for every mounting surface.

Chase Controllers — Multi-channel chase controllers for animated light sequences.

Timers — Light timers for automated on/off scheduling.

Socket Covers & Caps — Socket Stuffer® covers and blackout caps for empty C7/C9 sockets.

Repair Tools — LED repair tools for diagnosing and fixing string light faults.

How to Choose

Match the accessory to your specific task: clips and stakes for hanging and securing lights, timers for automating daily on/off schedules, and replacement fuses or plugs for maintaining existing strings. If you are purchasing wire or plug components, verify compatibility with your string's wire gauge (SPT-1 or SPT-2) before ordering. Having the right accessories on hand before installation saves time and prevents mid-project trips to the store.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are vampire plugs? Vampire plugs — also called slide-on plugs or Gilbert plugs — slide onto SPT wire and use metal teeth to make a connection through the insulation, without cutting or stripping the wire.

What’s the difference between SPT1 and SPT2 wire? SPT1 is lighter gauge wire; SPT2 is heavier gauge with thicker insulation and higher load capacity. Refer to individual product pages for load ratings.

What’s the Reindeer Proof™ Warranty? Our in-house warranty covering manufacturing defects and performance failures. Duration varies — see individual product pages.

How do I know which accessories I need for my installation?

Start with your installation type: roofline runs need stringer wire, bulbs, clips, and timers. String light installations need extension cords, clips, and timers. Any outdoor connection needs weatherproof cord domes. The Christmas Light Emporium's installation essentials collection is a useful starting checklist.
