Hereof, what lights look best on a Christmas tree?
For a classic but bright look, we like to use LED lights (like these Warm Clear LED Mini Christmas Lights, $11, Target). They don't produce heat and are completely safe to decorate your tree. Use six boxes of 100-light strands for a 6-foot Christmas tree and eight boxes for an 8-foot tree.
Furthermore, how many feet of lights do I need for a 6ft tree? A good rule of thumb is 100 lights for every 1.5 feet of tree. However, if you love lights, you may want to double, or even triple, that amount.
How many strands do I need?
| Tree Height | Number of Lights |
|---|---|
| 6 to 7 Feet | 400 to 700 |
| 7.5 to 8.5 Feet | 700 to 1,000 |
| 9 to 10 Feet | 1,000 to 1,300 |
| 12 Feet | 1,500 to 2,000 |

How many lights does it take to wrap a tree?
Plan for a minimum of 100 lights per vertical foot when wrapping indoor Christmas trees & consider purchasing a few extra light strings to ensure you have complete coverage. Any light strings not used can serve as backups in the future should you need an extra string or two.
