Decorating deciduous trees or pine trees is highly subjective, there are significant power issues when dealing with massive quantities of mini lights, C9, or C7. The general rule is to assume about one foot spacing between strands in both the spiral and vertical patterns and work your way in tighter from there. You can use the following as a general guide to decorating deciduous trees with lights:

Mini Lights
  • 8’ = 300-400 lights
  • 10’ = 466-600 lights
  • 15’ = 600-1000 lights
  • 20’ = 1000-1800 lights
  • 25’ = 1200-2400 lights
C7 & C9 bulbs
  • 20’ = 500-800
  • 30’ = 1000-1500
  • 35’ = 1500-2000
Starbursts
  • 8’ = 5-7
  • 10’ = 7-10
  • 15’ = 9-12
  • 20’ = 10-20
  • 25’ = 15-25

You can use the following as a general guide to decorating pine trees with lights:

Mini Lights
  • 6’= 400
  • 12’ = 800-400
  • 20’ = 1400-2000
C7 & C9 bulbs
  • 20’ = 600-800
  • 30’ = 1200
  • 40’ = 2500
Starbursts
  • 6’ = 4-8
  • 12’ = 7-15
  • 20’ = 12-22

What are LED's? LED's are Light Emitting Diodes. LED’s use at least 1/10th the power of a standard light bulb. LED lights are actually a crystal as opposed to a filament that is found in standard bulbs. Filaments over time fade and burn out while crystals do not. LED’s are designed to have a life of nearly 100,000 hours. The average life of an incandescent bulb is only 3,000 hours. On a standard 100 mini light strand you would draw approximately .33amp but on a LED 100 mini light strand you would draw .033amp. Based on that formula you could decorate 10 homes in holiday lighting with the same power consumption as one house decorated in the same amount of incandescent lights.

Linkable holiday lights are not regular store-bought lights. Linkables are constructed with ¼” powder coated steal rods and all the lights are clipped on with a UV clip. The difference is that the linkable will not blow up on the roof or in the gutters like store-bought products. There are more styles to linkables than store-bought products, from Snowflakes, Bow & Swags, Candycanes, Icicles, Santa Stockings and C9 bulb links. Linkables can be provided in both LED technology and incandescent bulbs. Linkables last longer than store-bought holiday lights and look much sharper than normal store-bought holiday lights.
