Five feet, 2.5 feet across
Five feet tall on a 2.5 foot spread. That is a full cone shape rather than a slim one, which is unusual for a fibre optic tree and means it reads as a proper tree in daylight as well as a light display at night.
Seven colours, from the fibres
The maker names all seven: red, blue, green, purple, yellow, white and warm white. Each fibre glows at its tip and the whole set cycles together, so the tree changes as a single object rather than twinkling in patches. The plug is certified to UL588, the standard for seasonal lighting.
170 tips with fibres through them
The fibres are pre-installed on every branch, which is why there is no light string to wind on and nothing visible when the tree is off. The 170 PVC tips are dense enough to give the cone its shape and to hide the fibre runs completely.
Two trees in one
Unlit it is an ordinary green cone with no wiring showing anywhere. Lit in a dark room it is a colour display. The manufacturer's side by side is the fairest way to decide whether the daytime version earns its corner, because that is the one you see most.

Who is this perfect for?
Small rooms and second trees
Five feet on a 2.5 foot base suits a flat, a hall or a bedroom, and it works well as the children's tree in a house that already has a main one.
People who want it up in minutes
The tree needs no assembly at all, which is rare. Build the stand, stand the tree in it, plug it in. There is no string to test, nothing to untangle and nothing to hook on.
What we stand behind
- The wreath, gifts and ornaments in the styled photographs are not included.
- The 5 ft by 2.5 ft dimensions, 170 tip count and 6.5 lb weight are the manufacturer's published figures for this size, confirmed on its own drawing.
- The seven colours are the ones the manufacturer names in writing. It does not publish a cycle time, a mode list or a way to hold one colour, so we do not describe any.
- The manufacturer lists this as an indoor decoration and publishes no weather rating, so we do not describe it as outdoor.
- Ships from our United States warehouse, free shipping over $150, and 14 day returns unused in the original packaging.
Frequently asked questions
How does a fibre optic tree work?
A light unit in the base feeds colour up thin plastic fibres that are pre-installed along every branch, and each fibre glows at its tip. There are no bulbs on the branches and no string anywhere, which is why the tree looks completely plain when it is off.
Can I hold it on one colour?
The manufacturer does not publish a mode list, a remote or a steady setting, so we cannot promise one. Treat it as a tree that cycles through its seven colours whenever it is switched on.
What does UL588 mean?
UL 588 is the North American safety standard for seasonal and holiday decorative products, which covers lighting of this type. The manufacturer states the plug is certified to it.
How much assembly is there?
Almost none. The fibres are pre-installed, so the tree itself needs no assembly. Only the plastic stand has to be put together, and the tree stands in it.
Is it bright enough to light a room?
No. Fibre optic light is diffuse and gentle rather than strong. It is an atmosphere tree, and it shows best in a room that is already dim.
Can I hang ornaments on it?
Small and light ones. Every bauble that covers a cluster of fibre tips removes some of the effect, which is the opposite of what happens on a bulb lit tree, so keep the decoration sparse.
