Lighting The Tree

Everything about this tree has been difficult, including no lights. So the next step in my ongoing story of "The Tree" was to light it.

But to be truthful, I have a love-hate relationship with Christmas tree lights. I love the way a pre-lit tree looks, but it seems every time I buy one, after a season or two, at least one strand quits working and the faulty connection can never be found.

After a recent review I did on LED lights, I decided to use the new LED warm white and red Christmas lights on the tree.

Best tip I can give is to take a picture of the tree (or decorations) when you think it's almost done. The camera will capture those bare spots and faults not really noticed with the naked eye.
