How many lights do you need for an 8ft Christmas tree?

Our pre-lit trees come with around 700 LED lights so we would recommend a similar amount as a base for trees that do not come pre-lit. You can always add more lights depending on your chosen aesthetic, even to pre-lit trees. A bigger tree also usually requires bigger decorations and more of them. We have written a blog post advising which decorations to choose for a large Christmas tree to help with decorating 8ft Christmas trees.

How long will an 8ft artificial Christmas tree last?

Our 8ft Christmas trees have a lifetime guarantee of up to 15 years so they are certainly an investment that pays off over the years of marvel and enjoyment. An 8ft Christmas tree has more tips and branches than a shorter or thinner tree, so to ensure that your tree always looks its very best, we also offer a 10-year guarantee on our artificial trees’ tips and branches. We will replace any tree that loses more than 3% of its tips. Similarly, the LED lights on our 8ft pre-lit trees are guaranteed for 15 years. We will supply free replacement bulbs if issues do occur. Likewise, we will send a replacement transformer if this is faulty.

Make a statement at home this winter season with an 8ft Christmas tree. There’s no doubt that the taller the Christmas tree, the more impressive, so if you can accommodate an 8ft artificial Christmas tree, in an entrance hall for example, then it will be well worth the effort spent decorating. If you don't have the time to spend perfectly lighting your tree, then why not invest in one of our pre-lit artificial trees which have approximately 100 lights per foot of tree. LEDs are low energy and the average tree will cost less than a pound to run over the whole of the festive period. They are cool to the touch so no risk of fire. If you still want to personalise the tree with your own lights, click here to watch a video showing you how to put lights on the tree without getting into a mess. Frosted and snowy artificial trees are bang on trend this year with endless possibilities to decorate in stunning style; click here to get tips on colour schemes. Not everyone has the space for a large tree, so we have a large range of slim and pencil artificial trees, ideal for a small space. If you still don't have the space to accommodate one of these trees, consider a wreath or garland to decorate a sideboard, mantlepiece, fireplace or bannister.
