Step 3 - Enter your TOTAL number of sockets needed in the QUANTITY field below (field just above Add to Cart button).
Step 4 - If you need multiple custom-cut lengths, enter the number of sockets needed on each strand in the INSTRUCTIONS box (e.g., 1 strand 14 sockets & 1 strand 30 sockets).

FOOTAGE CALCULATOR
ORDERING CUSTOM LENGTH CORDS
Below is the formula to figure out the quantity of sockets to order for the length you need (in feet). Once you have added the TOTAL number of sockets needed in the shopping cart, indicate the details of the strand(s) you need in special instructions box above. See examples below.
Total length needed ÷ 1.25 = Quantity of sockets to order*
| Feet Needed | Sockets to Order | Price |
| 25' | 20 | $50.00 |
| 50' | 40 | $100.00 |
| 100' | 80 | $200.00 |
ORDERING MULTIPLE STRANDS?
Add the TOTAL number of sockets needed in the shopping cart, then indicate in the instructions box above the details of each strand length needed. See examples below.
| Sockets Ordered | Details in Special Instructions | Yields |
| 60 | 3 strands: 20 sockets each | Three 25 ft strands |
| 214 | 1 strand=150 sockets; 2 strands=32 sockets each | One 120 ft. strand and two 40 ft. strands |
*If your answer is not a whole number, round up to the nearest whole number. For example: If you need 53 feet of lights, you would order 43 sockets (53÷1.25=42.4, round up to 43)
