FAQ’s Christmas Tree Lights
LED lights last much longer and are also more energy efficient. They don’t get hot or burn out like other bulbs so they’re safer to use too.
As a general guide its recommended you use at least 100 bulbs per 1ft of tree so a 7ft tree would require a minimum of 700 LEDs.
Always put the lights on your tree first and then add your decorations.
Start at the bottom of your tree and then zigzag them through the tree rather than trying to wrap them around the tree. Place some lights deeper into the branches and place some closer to the front, making sure you blend the cable in with the tree branches so it’s not noticeable.
