Whether you’ve got a real or an artificial Christmas tree, every tree needs Christmas lights to make it look truly festive. However, getting the right amount of lights can be tricky. Follow our guide to make sure you achieve the look you want.


String Lights

Our ‘The Winter Workshop’ range of string lights are available in 5 different colours and a range of different sizes. The LED bulbs are spaced 10cm apart for an even glow that is often best suited for trees but also looks good on the outside of your home along guttering.

The string lights have an ‘8 hours on, 16 hours off’ timer function which allows your lights to come on at the same time every day. There are also 8 different multi-function settings to choose from, plus the lights have a memory function that remembers your chosen setting if you turn the lights off. Additionally, there is a 5m lead cable from the plug to the first bulb.



Both lights have great qualities

that make them perfect for

brightening your display.


Cluster Lights

The spacing between bulbs is roughly 2.5cm apart and offers lights on the top and bottom of the string. Our ‘The Winter Workshop’ range of cluster lights are available in 6 different colours and a range of different sizes. This full look is great for larger trees for a much brighter glow, although can be overwhelming on small trees. However, cluster lights look great in many other areas of the home including windows, mantelpieces, fencing, and guttering.

The cluster lights also have an ‘8 hours on, 16 hours off’ timer function as well as 8 different multi-function settings and memory functions. They also have a 10m lead cable from the plug to the first bulb which makes these lights much better for outdoor use when compared to the string lights as they have more room to reach your nearest indoor plug socket.



Your Choice

Both lights have great qualities that make them perfect for brightening your Christmas display. Ultimately your decision comes down to personal preference and whether you like an even looking, gentle glow (choose string lights) or a brighter, fuller-looking light set (choose cluster lights).
