7 FT White Pre-Lit Pencil Christmas Tree, Hinged, 800 Tips, 300 Warm White LEDs and 8 Flash Modes

A full profile tree at this height spreads about 4 feet, which in a flat or a small lounge means shifting furniture and squeezing past it every day until January.

This one keeps the 7 feet and drops the width to 2.6 feet on a 20 inch base. At 11 pounds it can be carried in one go, and it sits in a corner or a window bay without anything else moving.

The three measurements to check

Seven feet up, 2.6 feet across, base 20 inches. Tree sizing guides normally put a tree's width at more than half its height, so this silhouette is well under half that. A pair of gloves for fluffing is shown as part of the package.

Eight modes on white needles

Combination, in waves, sequential, slo glo, chasing or flash, slow fade, twinkle or flash, and steady on. Warm white light on white foliage behaves differently from warm white on green: the needles carry the tint, so the tree glows rather than sparkles. The controller sits inline on the cord.

The parts that hold it up

A reinforced tree top matters on a narrow tree, because a topper on a thin leader is what makes cheap pencil trees lean. Eight hundred tips fill the column, three sections take it apart for storage, and the adapter carries the manufacturer's UL certified mark.

Narrow enough for a corner, a window bay or a hallway where a full profile tree would block the walkway.

Counted by the manufacturer. Enough to fill a slim column without the trunk showing through.

Pre-strung on the branches, so the lights are done before the tree is even standing.

Steady through to twinkle, all changed on an inline controller rather than by unplugging anything.

A strengthened leader so a star or an angel sits straight instead of bending the top of a narrow tree.

A 20 inch cross shaped metal stand that folds flat, rather than the plastic base on cheaper trees.

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.

Full height in a 2.6 foot circle, so the sofa stays put and nobody edges round a tree all month.

White foliage with warm white light suits grey, cream and pale wood better than a dark green cone.

Eleven pounds in three sections is a one person job, including up a flight of stairs.

What we stand behind

• The 800 tip count, the 300 LED count, the 2.6 ft diameter, the 20 inch base and the 11 lb weight all come from the manufacturer's own specification list.
• The eight modes are named one by one on the maker's lighting panel.
• The maker's own photograph carries a note that the ornaments shown are not included.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150. 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

How much floor space does it need?

Two feet seven inches at the widest branches, on a base 20 inches across. Leave a circle of about three feet. On height, sizing guides suggest around a foot of clearance above the tip for a topper, which puts a 7 foot tree under an 8 foot ceiling.

Do white trees show dust?

More than green ones, yes. A soft duster or a microfibre cloth once during the season is enough, working from the top down and following the way the branches bend. Storing it in a bag rather than an open box keeps most of the dust off in the first place.

Will a heavy topper bend the top?

The manufacturer calls out a reinforced tree top on this model for exactly that reason, since a narrow leader is the weak point on any pencil tree. Keep the topper light anyway and seat it firmly on the leader rather than hanging it off to one side.

What do the eight modes do?

Combination, in waves, sequential, slo glo, chasing or flash, slow fade, twinkle or flash, and steady on. They are switched with a small controller on the cord, so you do not have to reach into the branches.
