Put four hundred lights on an eight foot tree and the result is a dark green mass with bright points around the edge. The inside of the tree never lights, and adding a second string afterwards rarely matches the colour of the first.

At 750 bulbs across 2128 tips, the light reaches into the tree rather than skating over the front. Both colours use the same set, so the density holds whether you run warm white or all four colours together.

Eight feet against a person

The drawing places the tree next to an adult so the scale reads properly: eight feet tall, 4.4 feet across. Allow a clear circle of five feet. Sizing guides pair an eight foot tree with a ten foot ceiling, or nine feet with a flat topper, so measure the room before ordering.

Three states, side by side

Unlit, warm white, and four colour, photographed as a set. It is the clearest way to see what you are actually buying, because a tree spends most of December unlit in daylight and only a few hours a night lit. All three looks come from one tree and one controller.

Three sections, and half an hour

The trunk is marked A, B and C. Insert the bottom section into the stand and tighten the bolts, stack the rest from the bottom up, then fluff. The manufacturer's own instruction is to allow 30 minutes for spreading the branches, which is a fair estimate on 2128 tips and more honest than most.

What fluffing actually changes

The maker's own before and after. Left, out of the box with the branches still folded against the pole. Right, the same tree with every branch pulled out and the tips bent upward. Nothing else is different. This is the step people skip and then wonder why the tree looks thin.

More than double the count on the 6 ft model in the same range, spread across a 4.4 foot base.

A high count for eight feet, which is what keeps the middle of the tree lit rather than dark.

Warm white, or red, blue, orange and yellow together, both on the same bulbs.

Steady, quick flash and slow flash on each colour, plus five that change between them.

Marked and installed bottom to top, with the bolts tightened into the stand first.

Folded for the box and dropping into place as each section rises, rather than hooking on by hand.

Stable metal rather than plastic, which an eight foot tree carrying this much foliage needs.

Stated by the manufacturer, with the LEDs pre-attached to the branches at the factory.

Eight feet by 4.4 wants a ten foot ceiling. Given one, it anchors a large room on its own.

Seven hundred and fifty bulbs means no second string to buy and no mismatched colour temperature.

Two colours and eleven modes settle the annual warm white against colour argument with a button.

What we stand behind

• The 2128 tip count and the 750 LED count are printed on the manufacturer's own panels for this size.
• The 8 ft by 4.4 ft size is read off the maker's dimension drawing.
• The 30 minute fluffing estimate is the manufacturer's own figure, printed in their assembly steps.
• Ships from our United States warehouse, free shipping over $150, and 14 day returns unused in the original packaging.

How long does it take to set up?

The manufacturer's own instruction is to allow 30 minutes for fluffing after the three sections are stacked. That is a fair figure for 2128 tips, and their before and after photograph shows what the half hour buys you.

Is 750 lights a lot for eight feet?

It is a high count. Many pre-lit trees at this height carry 400 to 500. The practical difference is that the glow reaches into the tree rather than stopping at the outer branches, which is what stops a big tree looking hollow.

What ceiling height do I need?

Ten feet is comfortable. Sizing guides suggest about a foot between the tip and the ceiling for a topper, and the stand lifts the tree a little further. Under a nine foot ceiling it will fit with a flat topper. Under eight feet it will not stand.

What are the eleven modes?

Multi-colour steady on, quick flash and slow flash; warm white steady on, quick flash and slow flash; then five that change between the two, including a slow fade and a five times per colour cycle.
