Battery Pack Instructions:
The self-contained waterproof battery pack rests inside a wire mesh basket with a wire hinged metal wire safety strap to hold the battery pack in place in case it is turned upside down. The metal wire safety strap does not lock onto the basket. The battery pack holds 2 D sized Batteries. These 24 inch Christmas prelit wreaths require 2 D-Size Alkaline Batteries. To purchase D Batteries select this link,D-Size Duracell Batteries.
There are two switches to operate the LED lights.
1)The first switch operates the LED light functions. The Twinkle and Steady Switch allows the LED light bulbs to either twinkle or burn steady when turned on.
2) The second switch operates the power and timer.
A) The on position allows the LED bulbs to stay on all the time.
B) The Off position turns the LED lights OFF.
C) When the Timer position is selected the battery pack will automatically turn the LED lights ON and OFF. When the timer position is selected the lights will stay on for 6 hours, then automatically it will turn the LED lights off for 18 hours. The process is repeated so the lights will come on and go off at the same time every day. To change the automatic timer, turn the battery pack to the off position and then turn the wreath on again at the time you want it to start.
This indoor/outdoor pre lite Christmas wreath will send a wonderful welcome message to all your holiday guests.
Shaping Your Imperial Pine Artificial Wreath:
These wreaths come pre-shaped, and are more delicate than the average artificial wreath, so we recommend you spend only a minimal amount of time attempting to shape them, if you feel the desire to do so. The main things to look for with this holiday wreath are the inner and outer rings made by the stems, the overall thickness throughout the wreath, and the visibility of the varying decorations ornamenting it. The two rings are the most visible aspects of the wreath. The inner ring is simply the circle made by the stems on the inner portion of the artificial wreath, and the outer ring is the circle made by the outermost stems of the wreath. The idea is to keep these two circles full, and as defined as you can, keeping in mind that you want the stems to look a bit realistic when you are doing this.
The thickness of the wreath simply refers to the width of all the stems, from inner circle to outer circle, all the way around the wreath. You may notice when shaping a wreath that the inner and outer circles could look perfect and yet the overall thickness varies throughout the wreath. It is for this reason that we recommend you concentrate on the thickness of the wreath first. Go around the wreath and ensure the fullness of the stems and thickness of the circle is uniform (this can be done very quickly), as soon as you are satisfied with this check the inner and outer circles of the wreath and try to define the borders as well as you can. You will be surprised how quickly this can be done with just a few minutes of practice.
Once this is accomplished take a quick look over your wreath, from approximately 5-10 feet, and see if you pick out the three types of stems, the pine cones, and the berries. If you can, you’re done. If you can’t, being as careful as possible, try to move the green stems around the berries and pine cones (NOT the pine cones or the berries around them) and see if you can bring out the fullness and elegance of this wreath.

LED Christmas Lights Usage:
Though it is common knowledge that LED lighted products cost more than their incandescent competitors, it has been shown that the cost over the life of the product, as it pertains to energy usage, is dramatically less! This is due to the fact that in incandescent lighting an electric current is used to produce heat, which in turn produces light. The majority of the energy used by incandescent bulbs goes towards producing heat, instead of light. With newer technological advances in lighting, LEDs are capable of using far less energy, and focusing the majority of the energy used towards producing light, rather than heat, which further optimizes your energy usage.
