The benefits of pre-lit Christmas trees during the holiday season

Why Pre-Lit Christmas Trees Are a Game-Changer

A pre-lit artificial tree is the choice of most families for the holiday season, since they can generally choose between a traditional real tree and an artificial tree.

The Christmas tradition of using real trees dates back centuries. Manufacturers have been able to create fake trees that look almost real due to modern technology. Organic trees hold sentimental value and people have difficulty parting with them. Our next choice is whether to adhere to tradition or to be convenient.

How a Pre-Lit Christmas Tree Can Save You Time and Money

There are four features of pre-lit Christmas trees that make Christmas easier for you:

1. Convenience

It is usually easy to install and remove artificial trees. Most of them come in segments and can be easily assembled since they are available in three sections. The same applies to removing them after the holidays.

2. Budget-Friendly

An original tree may cost more than a pre-lit tree. However, LED trees can be a significant time and money saver, thanks to their energy-efficiency.

The bulbs in these trees are energy-saving, unlike ordinary decorations. Additionally, they are made to withstand long-term use. Most of the bulbs on these trees are covered by warranties, so you may not need to replace them if they were damaged or burnt.

3. Time-Saving

The process of putting up Christmas tree decorations can be tiresome and frustrating, even if they seem fun at the time.

The lighting and decorations of a pre-lit Christmas tree are usually pre-attached. You will then have more time to spend with your family.

4. Varieties

A real tree would be much more exciting to find than an artificial tree. For a fact, there are many tree options available to you. And they are available in a wide variety of shapes, colors, and sizes.

Artificial Christmas trees and pet safety

Keeping an untrained pet out of the Christmas tree can be difficult, especially if it’s their first Christmas and you’re using a flocked Christmas tree.

Regardless of whether your older pet has a history of not jumping on trees, it is still prudent to exercise caution.

A few pet safety hazards are described below, along with ways to prevent them. Keep reading!

Branches & Needles

It is particularly dangerous to work with live trees. Cats and dogs also love chewing on fir tree limbs, and the oils in them can cause vomiting and drooling.

Chewing on the branches may also cause your cat to swallow needles.

When swallowed, pine needles can puncture the intestinal lining or bundle together, leading to intestinal obstruction. And yes, both cases can result in death.

Artificial Christmas trees should also be used with caution–the needles may obstruct airflow and pets may chew on the crunchy needles.

The best way to prevent your pets from accessing your Christmas tree is to place it in an area that is not accessible to them. To do this, you can place dog pens around the tree.

Flocking

Pets can suffer serious health consequences if significant quantities of flocking are swallowed. Ideally, your home should not have flocked trees.

When decorated properly, flocked artificial Christmas trees look great. However, it doesn’t end there. Choosing a Christmas tree requires weighing the pros and cons.

Christmas tree Preservatives

A few artificial Christmas trees are additionally preserved with chemicals. Chemicals can bind at the base of trees and contaminate water there. Bases that are not covered will allow pets easy access to the water.

A towel, plastic wrap, or aluminum foil will work as a cover for your tree skirt. The plastic bag works too.

Traditional lighting patterns for pre-lit Christmas trees

Do you intend to purchase a pre lit Christmas tree this year? There is a good chance that you will be overwhelmed by the variety of lighting patterns on the market. Regardless, there are two types of light – incandescent and LED.

Knowing the characteristics of both lights would help you decide which one to choose.

Incandescent light trees

These are the traditional burning bulbs (classic lights) and are less expensive than LED-lit trees. The bright glow of these traditional lights creates a nostalgic feeling in the eyes. You can find a large variety of traditional light trees at a variety of stores.

LED light trees

In the pre-lit Christmas trees collection, this is a new and more sophisticated option. The initial cost is quite high compared to the traditional light trees. They are, however, more durable and long-lasting than standard bulbs, thereby reducing replacement costs significantly. LED bulbs are energy-efficient since they consume less electricity than traditional bulbs.

LEDs of older generations have been criticized for emitting a harsh light glow. However, more recent LEDs now emit softer light. Trees with LEDs also come in fewer varieties than trees with incandescent lights.

Lighting up your Christmas tree with the right lights

You should take into account the location of your tree when choosing the light pattern you want for your tree. There are some Christmas lights that are not suitable for both indoors and outdoors. If you intend to use the pre-lit tree outside, you should choose one that is safe for external use.

Christmas trees can be pre-lit with clear, multi-colored or both types of light patterns. Choosing the right theme depends on your preference, style, and décor style. If you want to decorate for Christmas in an elegant way, opt for clear lights. However, a number of colorful lights adds more fun and playfulness to the scene.
