Pre-Lit LED Christmas Trees and Incandescent-Light Trees

When it comes to LED lights vs. incandescent lights for your Christmas tree, there’s no right or wrong choice — there’s just your preference. Some people like the traditional, ultra-warm glow of clear or colored incandescent lightbulbs, while others prefer the energy efficiency and low operating temperature of LED Christmas lights. That’s why we offer pre-lit LED Christmas trees as well as our trees with incandescent lights. In this selection, you’ll find incandescent bulbs – but be sure to browse our other options.

Our incandescent pre-lit Christmas trees are designed to take the struggle out of setting up your Christmas tree. The incandescent bulbs provide warm, natural light that won’t pose a fire hazard matched with realistic trees that create a festive environment at work or home. If you’re looking to light up your home or business with the cheer of a fully illuminated Christmas tree, we make it easy at Treetime.

Are incandescent lights safe for Christmas trees?

Incandescent lights are generally safe for Christmas trees when used properly. To ensure safety, check that your incandescent light Christmas tree has bulbs and strings free of damage. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for the number of strands you can connect. Always turn off the tree lights when unattended, and replace any burnt-out bulbs promptly to avoid overheating. Using a quality surge protector can prevent electrical issues. For additional safety, opt for a tree with a built-in fire-resistant technology.

What do incandescent lights mean on a Christmas tree?

In an incandescent light Christmas tree, 'incandescent' refers to the type of lighting technology used. Incandescent lights work by running an electrical current through a wire filament, heating it until it glows. These lights are renowned for their warm, traditional glow, which many associate with the classic holiday ambiance. They come in various colors and sizes, adding a timeless appeal to Christmas trees.

How do I tell if my Christmas tree lights are LED or incandescent?

To determine whether your Christmas tree lights are LED or incandescent, examine the bulb's shape and the heat it emits. Incandescent bulbs are typically made of glass and get warm to the touch due to the heated filament inside. In contrast, LED bulbs are cooler and often made of plastic. They are energy-efficient and have a more precise color and longer lifespan. LED bulbs may also have a distinct sharpness to their light, as opposed to the warm glow of incandescent bulbs.

How long do incandescent Christmas tree lights last?

Incandescent Christmas tree lights typically last for about 1,000 to 2,000 hours of use. The longevity can be influenced by factors such as power surges, frequency of use, and whether the bulbs are turned on and off frequently. Proper storage and handling can extend their lifespan. To get the most out of your incandescent light Christmas tree, replace faulty bulbs immediately and follow the manufacturer's recommended usage guidelines.
