The Scoop on Pre-Lit Christmas Trees: How Long Will They Actually Last?
Pre-lit Christmas trees rarely last! However, there are only a few trees that aren’t pre-lit at the stores.
Purchasing a tree backed by a 10-year warranty is a great way of protecting your investment. Each artificial Christmas tree you purchase from Christmas Lights, Etc. comes with a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty.
What then is the best type of Christmas tree to buy? Is it better to buy a pre-lit tree? Well, it’s easy and quick to set up pre-lit trees so you can get right to styling!
But unlit trees offer greater decorating flexibility since they can be decorated with a variety of bulb colors and sizes as well as how the lights are arranged.
Are LED pre-lit Christmas trees ultimately more durable than regular trees?
Traditional lights are usually less expensive than LED lights on a Christmas tree. The cost of LED-lit trees may be higher, but they last longer and require less electricity.
Can lights be added to a pre-lit Christmas tree? Definitely!
You need to only check for broken lights if your tree has been pre-lit. And alternatively, you can add extra lights to your tree to make it look more radiant. You can also choose between bright, energy-saving LED lights and regular incandescent bulbs
Check whether the wires sticking out of the base of the known-good bulb are bent up to the sides of the lamp. If so, you will know where the problem lies. Then plug the bulb into the bare light socket. If the strand lightens up, then the bulb you’re holding is probably the bad one.
If your LED tree isn’t lighting, check to ensure that the wires are connected to the power source and that the fuses are securely seated. You can also use a LED light tester to detect the bad or defective bulb (or socket).
Make sure that the lights are plugged in before fluffing each section.
