The exact supplies we use and the 5-step method behind every Tango roofline. Clip it once, enjoy it for years.
Commercial-grade gear. The same stuff on our trucks. Measure your roofline first (Step 1) so you only buy what you need.
The socket wire you’ll cut to fit, plus the bulbs that go in it. LED runs cool and sips power.
Shop stringers →One clip per bulb. Holds every light straight and evenly spaced along your gutter line.
Shop circle clips →For the ridgeline and roof peaks, where a gutter clip has nothing to grab.
Shop ridge clips →Plain, bulb-free wire. Bridges the stretches you want dark and gets you back to the outlet.
Shop wire spool →Clamps onto the start of each cut run. No stripping, no splicing.
Shop male plugs →Caps the far end of each run so the next one plugs right in.
Shop female plugs →Walk every gutter, peak, and ridge you want lit and write down each length. Sketch it, mark your outdoor outlet, and note the stretches you want to stay dark.
Cut each run to match your measurements, cutting between sockets, so every run starts and ends clean. Custom fit is what makes it look pro, not store-bought.
One bulb and one clip in every socket. Circle clips on the gutters, ridge clips up top. Fair warning: year one takes a long time. Put on a podcast.
Pro tip: leave the clips on when you pack up. Year two goes way faster.
For the parts you don’t want lit, cut plain SPT1 wire to span them. A male zip plug on one end, a female on the other, and your whole display stays on one circuit.
Start at the outlet and connect run to run. Test before you climb down. It’s a lot easier to swap a bulb while you’re still up there. Then step back. Ahh.
Ladder safety: have a spotter, every time.
We measure, cut, clip, and hang every bulb. You just flip the switch.
