Installation Planning Guide

Refer to the following guidelines for estimating the number of lights needed for common applications:

Figure 3: Installation planning guide for various applications.

• Traditional Shaped Tree: For C9 bulbs, approximately 25 lights per foot of tree height.
• Roofline: A general rule is 16 feet for a standard single car garage and an additional 10-12 feet per awning.
• Railing: Measure the length end-to-end of the railing. For a standard railing, consider purchasing double the measured length to allow for wrapping.
