Pre-lit Christmas trees

Pre lit Christmas trees are a great idea for those who want a fast and fuss-free way to decorate their home. You’ll save time and effort not having to untangle string lights, and can simply plug in and be met with an illuminating glow. With a pre lit Christmas tree, the lights are already evenly distributed throughout the branches, creating the perfect effect with none of the hassle. There are no pesky pine needles either, so you get a clean and beautiful Christmas tree that’s ready to be decorated straight away. 

A pre-lit Christmas tree can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years, with a higher quality tree offering more years of use. A good pre lit Christmas tree will feature durable wiring and LED lights, which are not only energy-efficient, but also have a longer lifespan compared to traditional bulbs. To help your pre-lit Christmas tree last longer, handle and store it safely, by packing it away in a cool, dry place to prevent damage. Regular maintenance, such as checking the lights for any issues before use each year, can also extend a pre-lit Christmas tree's life. 

The best pre lit Christmas tree will come down to personal taste and the space it is intended for. Some people love the festive magic of a frosted pre-lit Christmas tree, while others prefer a traditional green tree they can decorate themselves. If space is limited, a slim or 5ft pre-lit Christmas tree can be the best option, but if you have tall ceilings and room for a larger tree, a 7ft pre-lit variety would be perfect. Choose a tree that reflects your personal style and invest in a top-quality model that will last year after year.

It is generally considered safe to leave a Christmas tree with lights on all night, especially if the bulbs are LED, as LED lights produce less heat compared to regular bulbs. You should check the bulbs are in good condition, that wires are not frayed and plugs are intact. It’s advised that you give your pre-lit Christmas tree a good look over prior to setting it up each year. Using a timer can be a good way to manage use of your Christmas tree, with lights being set to come on and turn off at specific times, so you needn’t worry about doing it manually.

Pre lit Christmas trees are designed to have the perfect amount of lights for their size and style. There is a rule of thumb that says there should be around 100 lights per foot of Christmas tree, so a standard 6ft tree would have roughly 600 lights. However, different designs may feature more or fewer lights; for example, a slim tree would have fewer lights owing to the smaller frame. Each pre lit Christmas tree will have the right amount of lights to create a dazzling, evenly lit tree.

Pre-lit artificial Christmas trees are considered an energy efficient choice, especially if they come with LED lights, which consume significantly less electricity compared to traditional bulbs. Christmas trees with lights built in generally use energy-efficient technology to reduce energy consumption. Additionally, since artificial pre-lit Christmas trees can be reused year after year, they eliminate the need for purchasing a new tree annually, and are therefore considered to be a sustainable option.
