Roofline Lighting: The Foundation of Holiday Displays For most holiday programs, the roofline is the anchor that sets the tone for the entire display. Clean, crisp roofline lighting outlines the architecture, creates visibility from a distance, and gives a property an instantly recognizable holiday look. Whether it is a small business storefront, a church, a neighborhood entryway, or a downtown block of retail buildings, the roofline is often the first impression visitors receive. C9 Bulbs: The Professional Standard
C9 bulbs remain the industry standard for roofline lighting in commercial applications. Their larger size and brighter output make them visible from long distances, ensuring a bold and polished look. Available in LED for maximum efficiency, C9s can be customized in color and style to match any theme. Options include smooth finish, faceted for extra sparkle, or twinkle for subtle motion effects. C7 Bulbs for Finer Details Slightly smaller than C9s, C7 bulbs are often used when architectural details call for a tighter scale. They work well on smaller buildings, intricate rooflines, or where a more delicate aesthetic is desired. Like C9s, they are available in
commercial grade LED versions designed to last season after season. Empty Socket Light Line for Professional Results One of the hallmarks of a professional display is the use of empty socket light line, cut to custom lengths on-site. This eliminates messy excess cord and ensures that every bulb is spaced evenly for a clean, tailored look. Professional installers use this method exclusively because it guarantees both visual consistency and long-term reliability. Design Options and Themes • Classic White: Timeless, elegant, and versatile, warm white C9s are a favorite for municipalities, HOAs, and businesses alike. • Multi-Color: Bright, playful, and full of energy, multi-color rooflines create a festive, family- friendly atmosphere. • Custom Color Patterns: Alternating red and green, blue and white, or other combinations help reinforce branding or community identity. • Twinkle or Animated Effects: Adding sparkle or subtle motion can bring rooflines to life and make them stand out against more static displays.
