8 FT Pre-Lit Artificial Christmas Tree, 2128 Branch Tips, 750 LEDs in Two Colours, 11 Modes

A tall tree strung with a modest light count reads as a dark shape with a few bright dots on it. The lights sit on the outer surface, the centre of the tree stays black, and no amount of ornaments fixes the gap.

At 750 bulbs on an eight foot frame, the light reaches into the tree rather than skating across the front of it. Both light colours use the same set, so the density holds whether you are running warm white or full colour.

Two sizes, two light settings

The manufacturer photographs the family together: the large tree in warm white and a smaller one in colour, which is the quickest way to see both settings this range offers. Every size runs the same two colours on the same controller. The tree in this listing is the 8 ft, with 2128 tips and 750 bulbs, the highest counts of any size in the family.

Where the bulbs actually sit

The close up on the left is worth studying. Each bulb sits down among the needles on its own short lead, rather than lying on top of the branch, which is what lets 750 of them read as a glow rather than a line of dots. On the right, the same tree in warm white with the bulbs spread evenly from skirt to leader. The foliage is greenery PVC, stated by the manufacturer as flame retardant and anti-fading.

A very high count for this height, spread through the branches so the light reaches the middle of the tree.

The highest count in a six size family, which is what stops a tall tree looking thin once it is lit.

Warm white or full colour, switched on the controller rather than by swapping strings.

Steady, quick flash, slow flash and colour changing patterns, all from the inline controller.

Attached to the pole and folding down for the box, they open on their own as each section is raised.

Metal rather than plastic, folding flat when the tree comes down, which an eight foot tree needs.

Stated by the manufacturer as flame retardant, non-allergic, anti-fading and smell free.

Worth having. Spreading 2128 tips bare handed is not something anyone does twice.

Ships from a Canadian warehouse. Free shipping on orders over $150. Some remote areas, PO boxes and surcharge regions may be excluded or cost extra.

Return within 14 days of purchase, unused, in original condition and packaging.

Covered directly by the manufacturer under their warranty terms for material and manufacturing defects.

Seven hundred and fifty bulbs is enough to light a large room on its own without adding a single extra string.

Warm white on a quiet evening, full colour when the house is busy, settled with one button on the controller.

Eight feet plus a topper needs the height. In a standard eight foot room this tree will not stand up.

What we stand behind

• The 2128 tip count and the 750 LED count come from the manufacturer's size ordered specification, where this 8 ft model is the first value in a six size list.
• The comparison with the 6 ft and 9 ft sizes uses figures from that same published list.
• This listing ships with two product photographs, so two photo sections are shown rather than repeating an image to pad the page.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150. 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

Is 750 lights a lot for an eight foot tree?

It is a high count. Many pre-lit trees at this height carry between 400 and 500. The practical difference is where the light sits: with this many bulbs the glow carries into the middle of the tree rather than stopping at the outer branches.

What are the eleven modes?

The manufacturer names some of them, including steady on, quick flash and slow flash for each of the two light colours, with colour changing patterns between them. They do not print the full list for this model, so we have not invented the remaining names.

What ceiling height do I need?

Ten feet is comfortable. Sizing guides suggest leaving about a foot above the tip for a topper, and the stand adds a few inches underneath. Under a nine foot ceiling it will fit with a flat topper. Under eight feet it will not stand.

How wide is it?

The manufacturer publishes no width figure for any size in this family, and there is no dimension drawing in the listing, so we will not estimate one. Treat it as a full profile tree and allow a clear circle of around five feet, then measure once it is up.
