The perfect finishing touch to any tree, Christmas treelights will help to set the festive mood in your home, whether you opt for a warm glow or prefer the multicoloured variety.
How many lights do I need for my tree?
As a golden rule, the experts over at Lights4fun say you need 100 bulbs or 5 metres of lights per 2ft of a Christmas tree. So in theory, if decorating a 4ft tree, you would ideally need 200 bulbs or 10 metres of lights, and for a 6ft Christmas tree you would need 300 bulbs or 15 metres of lights, and so forth.
So, before you begin the preparations for dressing your tree, take a look at some of our favourite Christmas tree lights available to buy now. Once you've got your hands on these, the fun with decorating can really begin...

Twinkle throughout December with these LED star lights in dazzling white, which would look just as good on a fluffy green tree as they would a minimalist twig tree. A multi-coloured option is also available.
With milky, frosted bulbs, these white ball lights will create an ambient glow around your Christmas tree. An added bonus? The running cost is approximately just 1p per hour!

Add something a little different to your tree with these horsetail lights, that drape down from the top of the tree, rather than wrap around it. We think it creates a lovely snowfall look!
