Another advantage of buying a Christmas tree with integrated lights is that they are professionally fitted and therefore look very neat and evenly spread on the branches – Christmas lights added at home can be unevenly placed, spoiling the overall decorative effect of the tree. Also, pre-lit Christmas tree manufacturers are very generous with lights – each tree has a high bulb and tip count, and the taller the tree, the more lights it has.

There are many different pre-lit Christmas trees on the market. Manufacturers mix and match different coloured lights with different coloured trees to meet all decorative tastes, and these are often stunning. For example, one type of pre-lit Christmas tree on sale is crystal white with electric blue and white LED lights, creating a striking look. The most commonly-used lights on the pre-lit Christmas tree are mini lights, which are small but bright. If you wish to buy a Christmas tree with lights, invest your money in one which has LED lights; LED bulbs are brighter and last up to 20 times longer than conventional ones and, most importantly, cost less to run.

Another handy function often added to pre-lit Christmas tree lights is a choice of lighting functions; a lights controller allows you change your tree from movement to static and vice-versa, and some may have several different movement functions to choose from. Many trees are available in either clear or multicoloured LED lights, and so if you decide to buy a Christmas tree with lights this year, you can be sure of a huge selection to choose from.
