It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and there is nothing that says Christmas more than a gorgeous tall fir tree heavily adorned with a string of flashing fairy lights.
In Australia, the best and most common Christmas trees to grow are either the Monterey or the Radiata pine but if you wanted to give your tree a more native twist this year, you could try a Norfolk Island pine, a Wollemi pine or a Woolly bush. Any of these native Australian pine varieties would look just as good adorned with a garland of festive lights.
LED lights are going to be your best bet to use with a Christmas tree. They are suitably bright and come in a range of colours to help create a festive mood but the best bit is they don’t let off too much heat making them a safer and more energy efficient option.
Anyone who has had experience with fairy lights knows the dread of wrapping them up at the end of Christmas season and trying to take as much care to ensure that next season when you bring them out there isn’t a jumbled mess of tangled lights! So the question is? Is a pre-lit Christmas tree the answer to all of your woes? No tangled cords, no blinking bulbs or ones that are not working at all and the tree comes with lights already evenly spaced.
Setting up and decorating a Christmas tree with LED lights is so much simpler as well. So if you’ve ever asked yourself, should I buy a pre-lit Christmas tree? Maybe this is your year to give it a go.
There are a few types of pre-lit Christmas trees to choose from, from fully realistic looking Christmas trees generously decorated with small LED lights to completely abstract digital string light trees.
So, if you’re looking for this easy solution to the tangled lights situation this, year then we have a few options to help you on your way.
