Is one set of 250 enough to cover an average 7ft Christmas tree? null

Question

Mesmerizing · Accepted Answer

I had only one 250 light set and it looked really cool and my tree was 7 foot but two of these strands or a line with 600 lights would be even more impressive.
The lights are very bright so adding a second set would make the tree even more memorizing but at 100 bucks on average or 350 for a 600 strand that is pretty 
expensive...
If you a pro who sets these up professionally then who cares what it costs, the lighting effect would get you noticed..

I used the twinkly light calculator, just google twinkly light calculator. I hope this helps.

That depends on what you consider enough.

We have a 7' tree and I put a 600 string on that and it covered the entire thing a full 360° just fine. The lights are spaced about 6" apart, and I was able to get that consistent spacing between rows. 250 might mean more spacing between the rows, especially if you plan on wrapping the tree entirely. If the tree is against a wall or in a corner, then you only really have to cover half of it, so, yeah, 250 will give you some good coverage. You can always add a second string later if you want. Strings can be combined into groups that act as one longer string, up to 4000 lights.

I have two sets of 250 on my average size 7 foot tree and in my opinion it is perfect -- I believe one set would be sparse.

Yes it can.

Yes. A string of 250 should be sufficient for a tree that size.
