dgrant Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 The best price I've found on vampire plugs was:http://store.ledgenlighting.com/search.asp?keyword=slide&search=GOWire, I was looking for SPT-1 and found:http://www.awcwire.com/Part.aspx?partname=SPT-1-18/2These other guys have great prices but the receiving time isn't till sometime in Julyhttp://www.animatedlighting.com/
Guest wbottomley Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 I never use SPT 2. (1) has been working well for years and I'll continue to use it.
Maine Lights Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 Dgrant have you actually bought from Ledgenlighting?
big joe Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 it is my first year too, i went with skycraft for the wire,and christmaslightshow.com for the plugs.

Prices below for SPT-1 or SPT-2. I was only able to find white (now, someone tell me that I'm wrong there too!)Quantity Amount100 to 499 $0.13500 to 999 $0.121000 to 4999 $0.115000 to 9999 $0.1010000 or more $0.09

With shipping.... mine came out to 52 cents per plug. Not bad given this time of the year.dgrant, your best post yet. Thank you.
Paul M Krupa Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Just something to think about, STP 1 wire from CDI has I believe a UV coating that may increase life span?Mike
