Looking to buy a pre-lit Christmas tree this break? There is a good chance that you will be overwhelmed by the variety of lighting patterns on the market. Regardless, there are two types of light – incandescent and LED.
Knowing the characteristics of both lights would help you decide which one to choose.
Incandescent light trees
These are the traditional burning bulbs (classic lights) and are less expensive than LED-lit trees. The bright glow of these traditional lights creates a nostalgic feeling in the eyes. You can find a large variety of traditional light trees at a variety of stores.
LED light trees
In the pre-lit Christmas trees collection, this is a new and more sophisticated option. The initial cost is quite high compared to the traditional light trees. They are, however, more durable and long-lasting than standard bulbs, thereby reducing replacement costs significantly. LED bulbs are energy-efficient since they consume less electricity than traditional bulbs.
LEDs of older generations have been criticized for emitting a harsh light glow. However, more recent LEDs now emit softer light. Trees with LEDs also come in fewer varieties than trees with incandescent lights.
Lighting up your Christmas tree with the right lights
You should take into account the location of your tree when choosing the light pattern you want for your tree. There are some Christmas lights that are not suitable for both indoors and outdoors. If you intend to use the pre-lit tree outside, you should choose one that is safe for external use.
Christmas trees can be pre-lit with clear, multi-colored or both types of light patterns. Choosing the right theme depends on your preference, style, and décor style. If you want to decorate for Christmas in an elegant way, opt for clear lights. However, a number of colorful lights adds more fun and playfulness to the scene.
