roverdish Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 If you don't mind using black wire, the link below is the best deal I found. No UV protection but it's not our for very long once a year. http://www.awcwire.com/Part.aspx?partname=SPT-1-18/2 Home depot part number 14-330 and 14-331 have basically doubled in price. They shipped 100 each last year now the same part number only yields 50 pieces. 1/2 as many for the same price. Best deal I found on vampire plugs was at the christmas light emporium below. http://www.thechristmaslightemporium.com/Electrical-Receptacle-female-green-slide-on-SPT-2-_p_3772.html I recently bought 100 each at .48 each plus shipping (that's 1/2 the depot price).I see they have raised their price to .53 and declared the plugs a best seller. Just wanted to share that info. Anyone know an inexpensive source for LED light strings. I would like to be around .10 per buld for 5mm lights.

james campbell Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I have a place better on plugs I will post the link when I get home and for wire I have found that once you add shipping its better to buy locally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smeighan Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I bought my cable from WLCVentures. 1000' of spt2 cable for $130 plugs worked great last year. http://wlcventures.com/zencart/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=7&sort=20a&page=2 sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orville Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) When I use NON UV wire I will just use a small garden tool {trowel} and create a small channel and bury the cable about 4-6" underground. If there are any plugs, they are kept up off the ground using a couple of green ground Christmas light stakes. Been doing this for years with NON UV wiring and have had no issues, but I do keep the electrical connections above and off the ground as much as possible. That is if I have to use two short cables because I ran out of wire long enough to make a single run. And I usually buy my wire locally at SkyCraft Surplus.
