How many lights do I need for my Christmas tree?Updated a year ago
Indoor Trees
Our golden rule is 300 bulbs or 15 metres of lights for a 6 foot tree. For every foot more of height, simply add 5 metres of lights. If you love a full fairy light look, double up or mix and match for extra sparkle!
Outdoor Trees
Our rule of thumb for any outdoor tree is 10 metres of lights for every 3 feet of height. For deciduous trees, this is ideal. For fir trees, double it up.
To easily estimate how many meters of lights to wrap the trunk/branches - take a ball of string and wrap around a section of the trunk/branch where you want your lights to be, ie: a quarter of the trunk/branch. Unwrap the string and measure, then multiply up to determine the total meterage needed.
