 The modernization of the pre lit Christmas tree has really caught on in recent years. You will now notice that many stores and homes have made the change from real trees to artificial trees with the added bonus of buying it pre lit to save on the time and hassle of messing around with endless strands of holiday lights.
Some of the premium pre lit Christmas trees are now made to look even more realistic than in previous models. They are manufactured to look three-dimensional on the tip section to resemble needles on a real tree. Many of the premium grade trees available have different lighting options or configurations; C7 lights, LED C7 lights or mini lights to name just a few on the market. The added incentive to having a pre lit Christmas tree is knowing that if one bulb goes out on your tree then you do not have to replace a whole string of lights, the tree will stay completely lit up. An added benefit is that most of the artificial pre lit trees are flame retardant and your tree is less likely to go up in smoke.
Now, because you have a pre lit Christmas tree, you need to take extra care when it comes time to packing away your beautiful christmas decorations. You need to be gentle so that you do not damage or break any of the lights that come attached to the tree. Depending on what company you make the purchase from, you will need to read all accompanying material, especially some of the warranty guidelines for your tree. Some manufacturers will offer a warranty on the lighting components separate from the one offered on the construction and parts of the tree. Most premium artificial Christmas trees are made from materials like PVC (poly vinyl chloride) or PE (poly ethylene) and will withstand their fair share of handling. Both options have their advantages. PE trees tend to look a little more realistic since they don’t require as much fluffing of branches as the PVC do right out of the box.
In order to ensure the sustainability of your pre lit tree, it’s a good idea to package your tree safely up for the year. Be sure to protect the bulbs on the tree so that they do not break between holiday seasons. You can find specialty Christmas tree storage bags that will help you in the endeavor. It’s still a good idea to keep your tree in a safe spot during the holidays to ensure that it does not fall over while decorated with all the ornaments attached during your festivities. Keep your tree in a low traffic area if at all possible, and if you have enough space in your home, you may want to consider using a rotating tree stand. You can plug your pre lit Christmas tree directly into the stand and it will rotate the entire tree so that all sides of your tree can be admired without one side facing the wall indefinitely. |
