To add Christmas lights to a tree that is already lit, you need to consider the type of light you will use. How do you intend to choose lights for your tree – will you use the same type and size, or would you prefer something else? Adding lights to a pre lit Christmas tree is as easy as adding any other type of light. Make sure you arrange your lights in such a way that they don’t overlap the existing lights. Consider the following tips when adding extra lights to your pre-lit Christmas tree:
Lighting number
It is important to consider the number of lights that you will add to a pre lit Christmas tree. As your tree is already pre-lit, you need to contemplate how many extra lights you will add so that it does not appear crowded. Measure how many strings of lights you need to add in the spaces of the tree where you intend to add extra light.
Checking the lights
Once you have decided on the number of lights you will add, you should check the existing lights on the pre lit Christmas tree as well as the additional ones. Turn the lights on and check the bulbs. When purchasing a light set, choose one that’s designed so that if one bulb burns out, the rest will remain lit. Before you begin hanging your light, make sure you replace any damaged bulbs.
Ensure your safety
If you are adding lights, make sure you have all the tools and equipment needed. The lights should be hung from a sturdy step ladder if your tree is tall. Do not overload any extension cords by plugging too many in at once. Use the right extension cord.
