You'll probably agree that each of us, even before the long-awaited holiday begins, decorates the Christmas tree , rooms, or the area around the house in our own way.

If you are also particularly excited about decorating your Christmas tree with colorful lights and various toys and are planning to purchase them, then our first recommendation is - do not pay attention only to the number and colors of lights, because performance and safety are the most essential.

How to choose? Christmas lights?

First of all, familiarize yourself with the documentation, because the main task is to obtain comprehensive information about the products. The quality certificate is proof that the Christmas tree lights are made of high-quality materials.

In addition, from the documents you will learn information related to technical characteristics and specifics of product use.

When choosing lights to decorate your Christmas tree , be sure to check whether the product has a fire safety certificate.

Lamp selection options:

Power - regardless of the number of lamps, no more than 60 watts is the norm;
When choosing, preference should be given to lamps that operate via an adapter;
Wire length - must be at least 1.5 m. (In case of fire, this is one of the safety requirements);
Mode switch - Usually, an electronic circuit, assembled on a small board, is placed in a plastic housing.

Check the set.

First of all, this applies to traditional lighting that has bulbs. In this case, you should check how many spare bulbs are included in the kit, since it is difficult to purchase them independently. There should be a way to replace at least 1 out of every 5-6 bulbs.

Check the efficiency of work

It's better to check how the Christmas tree lights work on site than to waste time changing them later. Moreover, you should check all the modes that are provided in this model.

LED lamps

Such New Year's lights, due to their efficiency, are considered more practical and are in no way inferior to traditional products. However, in the case of LED lights, there are a number of features to consider.

LED lights are divided into 2 classes - for home and for outdoor decoration.

This somewhat simplifies the choice, as you need to familiarize yourself with the markings. The IP65 index is a universal option, and such lamps are equally suitable for both indoor and outdoor decoration.

The same applies to products marked with the IP40 mark, which are distinguished by their versatility. In terms of temperature range, such lamps are “weaker”, which is why they are not recommended for installation in areas where severe frosts are known.

Insulation material

If the Christmas tree decorations are made of PVC, then such lights are definitely not suitable for the street. Although the cost of rubber bands is higher, but, on the other hand, using such decorations is much safer.

Thickness

More modern style lamps with a fairly thin cable are now available. These are really the best options because they are easy to hide and can be stretched along any path.

Working mode

When selecting and checking Christmas tree lights, it is necessary to pay attention not only to whether the bulbs turn on or not , but also to their brightness. For example, not everyone likes frequent flashing of lights or the speed of movement, so this component must also be taken into account.

In the Isurve.ge online Christmas tree store, you will find a wide variety of choices, including Christmas trees with a snowy effect, Scandinavian pines, cones, standard green, white Christmas trees, etc.
