how many lights for a 6 ft christmas tree
For a 6 ft Christmas tree, buy about 600 lights, which is six strings of 100. The count comes from the rule of 100 lights per foot of height. Below are the chart by height, the ranges for a subtle or packed look and the conversion into strings and feet of wire.
Three strings of 100 lights and about 99 ft of wire.
Four strings of 100 lights and about 132 ft of wire.
Five strings of 100 lights and about 165 ft of wire.
Six strings of 100 lights and about 198 ft of wire.
Seven strings of 100 lights and about 231 ft of wire.
Eight strings of 100 lights and about 264 ft of wire.
Ten strings of 100 lights, or a single 1,000-light string of 328 ft.
About 600 lights for a standard 6 ft tree, which is six strings of 100. The rule is 100 lights per foot of height. A subtle look takes 429 to 514 lights and a packed one 600 to 857. Slim trees take fewer and full trees take more, because the count follows the width.
About 500 lights for a 5 ft tree and 700 for a 7 ft tree in the standard shape. That is five strings of 100 on the smaller tree and seven on the larger one. If the tree is slim, take off about 17%; if it is full, add about 17%.
No, the count is per bulb, whether LED or incandescent. Christmas Central even suggests trimming the quantity a little with mini LEDs. What LED changes is the power draw: 100 mini bulbs use 7 W in LED against 40 W in incandescent.
You can: a subtle look takes between 429 and 514 lights, which is five to six strings of 100. The tree is darker deep in the branches but still lights up well. Below that the effect tends to look patchy.
Start at the base and work upward, weaving the string deep into the branches as well as near the tips, as Govee advises. That adds depth with the same number of lights and hides the wire. Keep the end of the last string free for the top.
