From there, I increased the bulbs per branch as I moved down the sections. In other words, the top section gets a strand of 100.
That makes 12 x 5 = 30 + 40 more for the top tips. The bottom of the top section had 12 branches. So, I counted the branches (the very top doesn’t have individual branches. Then, to determine how many lights that I was going to need, I decided on about 5-6 bulbs would be dispersed on the top sections of each branch. You’ll see why when you look at how I determined my light distribution in step 2. Also, if your tree comes in sections like mine, you will likely need a brand that comes in both 100 lights and 50 or 150 lights per strand. If you need five strands, make sure all five are the same brand, style, and color temp. However, regardless of the brand that you choose, the most important is to be consistent. To be precise, the lights that I used were the GE warm white in the green packaging. I have also noticed that Walmart has some GE lights* available on their website. I bought my lights at Lowe’s, but if you can’t find those, Amazon sells these warm LED lights*. But, at least they do not have that bluish tint that the regular LEDs have. Of course, a LEDs soft light is nowhere near as soft as the old incandescent bulbs. So, LED lights it is! I looked long and hard before deciding on a GE brand in soft white. Plus, LEDs will be perfect for when I get around to flocking my tree, and eventually, I will. Even with replacing the old lights with all LEDs, I would still be spending less than half the cost to replace the tree. I guess I could have just bought a new pre-lit tree, but mine cost a pretty penny.
#CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTS NOT WORKING HALF PLUS#
My tree was still in very good shape, but the 1300 plus lights were shot. When I unpacked the tree this year, I knew that I had a project ahead of me.
