The Tennessee Outlaw Holiday Lighting, Serving All of Middle Tennessee

Effortless Holiday Magic Begins With the Right Materials—And True Local Expertise

When homeowners across Nashville, Franklin, Hendersonville, and Mt. Juliet ask us what makes a truly professional holiday lighting setup, our answer always starts with one thing: the quality and safety of your wire. SPT1 wire isn’t just a technical term; it’s the backbone of any custom-fit, code-compliant display.

Why SPT1 Wire Matters for Holiday Lighting in Middle Tennessee

SPT1 (Service Parallel Thermoplastic) wire is engineered specifically for temporary lighting and outdoor conditions. Its slim, flexible jacket is perfect for neatly tucking along rooflines, gutters, and landscaping, so there’s no visible clutter to distract from your home’s beauty. This matters in properties throughout Brentwood, Murfreesboro, Bellevue, and beyond, where curb appeal is everything.



  • Proper amp rating: SPT1 wire safely handles the electrical load for most modern LED holiday bulbs, lowering your risk of overheating, breaker trips, or voltage drop. For homes with older panels or variable circuit quality—common in East Nashville and classic neighborhoods—this reliability is essential.
  • Weather resistance: SPT1 insulation stands up to Tennessee humidity, rain, and wind, ensuring every custom strand keeps glowing, season after season.
  • Flexible, seamless design: SPT1 lets us create light runs that match every home feature—arches, peaks, trees, columns—so your installation is always tidy and tailored. No wasted bulbs, looping, or bundled extensions.

Installation Safety: Protecting Your Home and Holidays

Safety is at the center of every Outlaws installation. Here’s how we put it into action for North and South Nashville homeowners:


  • No exposed wiring: Every connection and end-cap is sealed and insulated, keeping your wiring safe from the elements and preventing accidental shorts or faults.
  • Pro-grade connectors: Our weatherproof male and female plugs let us “jump” safely over roof sections, making it easy to light only the features you want—no risky DIY taping, no guesswork.
  • Expert troubleshooting and local code compliance: If your home in Old Hickory, Inglewood, or Bordeaux has unique electrical quirks, we handle all planning and load calculations so your system stays safe and fully compliant.
  • Designed for today’s LEDs and tomorrow’s upgrades: All materials are compatible with modern high-efficiency LED bulbs, letting you expand or update your display with zero hassle next season.

FAQs: SPT1 Wire Holiday Lighting in Greater Nashville

  • What is SPT1 wire, and why does it matter for holiday lighting?

    SPT1 is a flat, flexible outdoor wire designed for temporary lighting. It lets us custom-fit your display, maintain safety, and keep every strand neat and reliable, especially with unpredictable Tennessee weather.

  • Can I use old extension cords or non-rated wire for my holiday lights?

    No—only purpose-built, outdoor-rated wire like SPT1 should be used. This ensures safety, code compliance, and a longer-lasting display for Nashville-area homes.

  • Are SPT1 and SPT2 wires different?

    Yes—SPT2 is a thicker gauge, but SPT1 is preferred for most LED installs due to its flexibility and more discreet profile, which is ideal for custom-fitted, professional setups.

  • Does every custom install support both LED and incandescent bulbs?

    We design custom wiring that works for both, though high-efficiency, dimmable LEDs are always recommended for longer runs and safer operation.

  • What if I have circuit breakers that trip or outlets that don’t work?

    We check your property’s circuits before installation and plan accordingly. If needed, our team will coordinate with a professional electrician to resolve any issues before we install your lights.
