8 FT Slim Pencil Christmas Tree with Colourful Fibre Optics and 889 Tips

A full profile eight foot tree spreads four feet or more and needs a corner to itself. In a condo, a shop aisle or a narrow hall, that space simply is not there, so the ceiling height goes unused.

This one holds the full eight feet in a 2 ft spread on a 20 inch stand. It uses the height a tall room has and takes a fraction of the floor, and the fibre optics mean no light string has to be wound around it either.

Eight feet against a six foot figure

The silhouette tells you what eight feet means: the tip is two feet above a tall adult's head. The spread is 2 ft and the stand 20 inches. Guides advise about a foot of air above the tree, so this one wants a ceiling of nine feet or more.

How the light gets to the tips

The circled detail shows the fibre ends lit in blue and purple. A source in the base feeds every strand, so colour appears at the branch ends rather than along a wire. That is why a fibre optic tree needs no string and why ornaments should be used sparingly: they cover the tips.

Stand, drop in, done

Assembly is as short as it looks. The metal stand folds open, the trunk drops into it, and the branches are spread out by hand. There is no light string to join between sections and nothing to plug together inside the tree.

The same tree, lit and unlit

Side by side the two states are obvious. Unlit it is a plain dense green pencil tree. Lit, colour runs through the whole height. In a corner it takes almost no floor either way.

Light travels from the base to the branch tips, so no string is wound on.

Dense PVC foliage, which is what keeps a slim tree from looking bare unlit.

Eight feet of height in a 2 ft width, for corners and narrow rooms.

A 20 inch stand with anti-slip foot pads, folding flat for storage.

Open the stand, drop the trunk in, spread the branches.

The manufacturer states the supplied adapter is UL certified.

The manufacturer describes the PVC as fireproof, non-allergic and smell-free.

The colour show is the decoration, which suits a shop or an office.

Narrow enough to stand in a passage where people walk past it.

• Height, width, stand size and the 889 tip count come from the manufacturer's own graphics.
• UL certified is the manufacturer's wording for the adapter. No Canadian certification mark is claimed.

• 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

What ceiling height does an eight foot tree need?

Nine feet or more. Guides advise keeping about twelve inches of clear air above the tip, and that is before a topper. In a room with an eight foot ceiling this tree will not stand up straight.

Can I hang ornaments on it?

A few light ones. Every ornament covers fibre tips, which are the light source, so a heavily decorated fibre optic tree stops glowing. Most people leave them bare or add a handful near the trunk.

Do the colours cycle automatically?

The record describes colourful fibre optics without naming a mode list or a fixed colour setting, so we will not promise particular behaviour. What is certain is that the tips light in colour from the source in the base.

How is it different from the other sizes?

The series gives 361, 517, 697 and 889 branch tips for the 5, 6, 7 and 8 ft sizes. This listing is the 8 ft.
