Commercial Christmas lights and displays
Replacement and new-install C9 LED bulbs for professional displays. We have shipped them to the same customers season after season, usually with the socket wire and plugs that go with them.
From the line to your door
At a glance
If you own the lights you hang, reorder the same bulb each year, so new spares match the ones already on the roofs.
Price
We do not publish a unit price, because the honest number depends on your configuration, quantity, destination and the duty rate on the day the goods land. We do publish what moves it.
The biggest cost line inside the bulb. It also decides whether brightness stays even along a run.
A faceted lens costs more to mould. Most commercial rooflines specify it anyway.
Set-up is spread across the run. A container of bulbs prices differently from a pallet, and a pallet from a case.
Inner packs and printed labels add cost per bulb. Bulk cartons add almost nothing.
Bulbs are light and take up room, so the ocean cost per bulb is set by cube rather than weight.
The rate that applies is the one in force when the goods land. The quote names the tariff line we file under and says who carries a change between quote and landing.
Order-by calendar
Enter the date the goods have to be on site. The calendar works back through every stage at the slowest duration we plan for and shows when the order has to be placed.
What goes wrong
Who carries duty, and what happens if the rate changes between quote and landing, is stated on every quote. How that works Add up a landed cost
The record

Questions
No. The number depends on the configuration, the quantity, the destination and the duty rate on the day the goods land, so we would rather quote it than guess it. What we do publish is the list of things that move it, so you can see where the cost comes from.
Yes. Tell us the configuration and we quote a sample run next to the production quantity.
Yes. C9 socket wire and the matching plugs are on the same price list. It is worth ordering them together, so the base fit is tested against the wire you will actually use.
The quote says. It names the duty line, the rate we quoted against and which of us carries a change. Nobody finds out from the invoice.

Request received
It is recorded, and we are being straight with you: we are not taking new quote requests at the moment, so the usual reply time does not apply. We will still read it, and reply when we reopen. Your reference is below.
