5 FT Pre-Lit Artificial Christmas Tree, Hinged, 600 Tips, 150 LEDs and 11 Light Modes

The top of a short tree is the thinnest part of the pole, and a star or angel dropped onto it tips forward within a day. On a five foot tree that is at eye level, so there is no hiding it.

The manufacturer calls out an enhanced tree top on this size, which is a strengthened section at the very top rather than a bare wire. It holds a topper upright, and it is one of four points they list alongside the hinged branches and the foldable base.

Five feet by two point eight

A compact full shape rather than a slim one. Allow a clear circle of about three feet. Five feet suits a room with a low ceiling, a landing or a flat, and it is short enough that a topper can be fitted without standing on anything.

The four things the maker leads on

An enhanced tree top for a topper, eco friendly PVC, hinged branches and a foldable base. The insets underneath add the counts: 600 tips for a fuller tree and 150 LED shining lights, plus a note that the branches are bearable for tiny decorations.

One controller, two colours

Four colour lights and warm white switch freely on the same set of bulbs, and the controller carries eleven functions. The manufacturer's own phrasing is double colour, which is accurate: this is two separate circuits rather than colour changing bulbs.

Counted by the manufacturer for this size, packed closely enough to hide the pole once spread.

Factory fitted across the tree, running warm white or four colours at once.

Steady, quick flash and slow flash on each colour, plus five settings that change between them.

A strengthened leader so a star or angel sits upright rather than tipping forward.

They swing down as each section is raised, so setup is spreading tips rather than fitting branches.

A cross shaped metal stand with plastic foot covers, folding flat when the tree comes down.

Five feet leaves plenty of headroom in a basement, an attic room or a flat with a low ceiling.

A tree a child can reach the top of, which changes decorating from a spectator sport to a shared one.

Lights already on, one controller, three quick steps, and light enough to store on a shelf.

• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150. 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

Is 150 lights enough for a five foot tree?

It gives an even, moderate glow rather than a bright one. If you want the tree to light a room on its own, add a second string on the same colour temperature. For a bedroom, landing or child's room, 150 on five feet is comfortable.

What does the enhanced tree top do?

It is a strengthened section at the very top of the pole, which is the part that normally bends under a topper on a small tree. The manufacturer lists it as one of four design points on this size.

What are the eleven modes?

Multi-colour steady on, quick flash and slow flash; warm white steady on, quick flash and slow flash; then five settings that move between the two, including a slow fade and a five times per colour cycle.

How much space does it need?

Two feet ten inches across, so a clear circle of about three feet. Five feet of height leaves generous ceiling clearance in almost any room, which is the point of this size.
