We are seeing a rise in the popularity of pre-lit Christmas trees. They often have a cleaner and more elegant appearance than standard trees with fairy lights, due to the lack of visible wires.
There are some questions that frequently crop up though, which this blog will aim to answer.
Can the bulbs be replaced?
Not all pre-lit Christmas tree models have replaceable light bulbs, but a lot of them do. This is something you should check before buying. If the bulbs can be replaced, make sure you get the recommended ones. This information will be available from the seller.
How long do the lights last?
The lights on pre-lit trees are extremely durable, so you can expect them to keep glowing away for thousands of hours. Of course, they will last for longer if you take good care of the tree. Assemble and disassemble it carefully and store it somewhere safe when you are not using it.
Can I replace damaged lights?
If individual fuses or bulbs on the tree are damaged, you should be able to replace them yourself. On the other hand, if the issue is to do with the tree’s internal wiring, it will be better to get a professional to look at it.
Where can I find the transformer?
The transformer for a pre-lit tree is usually attached to its main power cable. This will be found on the base part of the tree, so just follow the cable until you locate it.
Hopefully this has answered any questions you have about pre-lit Christmas trees.
