pre lit xmas tree

daisey10 · ‎03-09-2010

I am looking for a ore lit xmas, can one recommend one you are happy with, I am looking for 6 foot one and easy to assemble.

I'm doing the same. I ordered the Santa's Best tree that was a TSV last year (the 5-foot) and had to send it back. The top section wouldn't stay lit so we ended up with no tree for Christmas. I had an older, pre-lit one but couldn't be bothered by the time I'd taken down the SB one and packed it back up.

One thing I didn't like about the recent Bethlehem Lights TSV was that the size of the tree included the stand - which really meant that a five-foot tree wasn't five feet at all. I need a smaller tree, but not one that small.

I've been looking at the Balsam Hill website. They have a lot of options and have a very good reputation (and also the Good Housekeeping Seal). In the end, because I couldn't decide which was right for me, I ordered their large selection box of branch tip samples. I'll decide once I can see which I like best.

Good luck with your search!

Check out Christmas Tree Market. I've ordered the 6 ft with 400 multi lights. Not here yet. Had good reviews on the site.

I bought the Santa's best pre-lit tree and put it up on veteran's day, and had it on the red white and blue setting...it looks great with all the different color options....if it fizzles out I have by end of january to return it.

That is standard in reporting tree size, including Balsam Hill trees.

Perhaps, but Bethlehem Lights didn't mention it until late in the evening of the TSV and it wasn't included in the online information. I know, because I recorded the shows and it wasn't until the host said someone had called in and asked whether the height was of the actual tree or included the stand. So at least one other customer didn't know.

Balsam Hill stated it clearly on their website. I prefer to have the information upfront and not have to dig for it. I assumed the height given was for the tree and the stand height was in addition to that.

We NEVER had anything but a live tree until last year, when I saw a tree with changeable lights n one of the BBSs, and fell hopelessly in love with it.

We actually bought TWO, a 6' one and a 5' one.

The "white" lights are referred to as "warm" white, and the colored lghts are candy colors, not the incandescent type.

I think we paid about $250 for the larger one and less than $100 for the smaller.

Can't wait to put at least one of them up this year.
