LED Type
All of our Christmas lights have LED bulbs, as they have many benefits that make them a more practical choice over other bulb types:
Why Buy LED?
LED bulbs are tough and durable, reducing the chance of accidental breakages when hanging them up or storing them in the attic.
They can last up to ten times longer than other kinds of lights.
They use up to 75% less energy, making the very eco-friendly and cost-efficient.
They reduce the risk of fire since they don't emit heat, making them the safest choice for Christmas trees.
LEDs are also more versatile, as they are often used to make novelty shaped lights that can make your Christmas tree look even more festive. Our 20 White Snowflake Flashing LED Lights, 24 Colour Changing Sculptures Icicle Lights and our 224 LED Copper Wire Wall Silhouette Christmas Tree are perfect examples of this.
Our brand new Star Bright LED Bulbs have a brilliant shine, with an added twinkle function for the ultimate festive feel. These include our 500 Warm White LED Star Bright Compact Lights, 500 White LED Star Bright Compact Lights and 500 Multicolour LED Star Bright Compact Lights, to name a few.

Getting The Most Out Of Your Tree Lights
Use an extension lead if using multiple sets of lights to prevent overloading your sockets.
Turn the lights on to test them before putting them on the tree – this will save you a lot of time in the long run if they don’t work!
Make sure you know how to hang your lights on the tree in order to enjoy their full effect. We recommend choosing one the 3 methods below:
Horizontally: The most commonly used method to hang tree lights. Starting at the top or bottom of your tree, wrap the lights over and under the branches.
Get creative by putting some of the lights deeper into the tree, or by alternating the patterns so that it looks more organic.
Vertically: Start with the plug-less end of your lights at the top or bottom of the tree and let the lights lay vertically like a seam.
Each time you reach the top or bottom, turn the lights back the other way until you have a sideways "S" pattern around the whole tree.
This method makes the lights appear brighter, as they are less likely to be covered up by other branches.
It also makes it easier to spread the lights around the tree, and to take them down again after Christmas!
