7 FT Pre-Lit Snow Flocked Christmas Tree with 13 Lighting Modes and a Built In Timer

Most pre-lit trees come with a single fixed output and no way to turn them off short of reaching the plug. Health Canada advises switching tree lights off overnight, which turns into a nightly crawl behind the furniture.

The timer runs six hours on and eighteen hours off, so the tree resets itself daily without anyone touching the plug. Brightness moves in ten per cent steps from 10 to 100, so a quiet evening and a full party display are two settings on the same tree.

Seven feet, five across

7 ft of height against a 5.1 ft spread on a 22 inch base. The spread is the number to check here, because it is wide for the height. Tape out a five and a half foot circle before ordering. The adapter cord is 10 ft.

1074 tips under heavy flocking

1074 tips carrying 450 warm white bulbs. Flocking changes what a light count means: white foliage reflects instead of absorbing, so the glow spreads through the branches rather than sitting in points on the surface.

What the controller adds

Three things a typical pre-lit tree does not have: a daily timer, ten brightness steps and thirteen modes rather than the usual eight. The manufacturer names fast blink, jump lighting and shiny star among the five it adds.

How it reads in a dark room

The black background shot is the honest test of a pre-lit tree. The bulbs run deep enough into the foliage that the tree keeps its shape at night instead of collapsing into an outline of light around the edge.

Five beyond the usual eight, including fast blink, jump lighting and shiny star.

Ten per cent steps from 10 up to 100 per cent.

Six hours on, eighteen hours off, repeating daily.

Thick snow flocking across the whole tree.

Run from an adapter the manufacturer states is UL certified.

Soft PE and firmer PVC, mixed for texture under the flocking.

Long enough for most wall sockets without an extension lead.

Hinged branches that lock into place, and a base that folds flat.

Foldable metal, sized for the 5.1 ft spread.

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.

The timer switches the tree off overnight on its own.

Seven feet suits an eight foot ceiling once the stand is counted.

Thick flocking over two leaf textures, not a light dusting.

Ten brightness levels cover a quiet night and a party.

What we stand behind

• Baubles, stars, gifts and garlands in the photography are not included.
• Height, diameter, base size, tip count, light count, mode count, brightness levels, timer and cord length come from the manufacturer's own graphics for this size.
• UL certified is the manufacturer's wording for the adapter. No Canadian certification mark is claimed.
• The record gives two different net weights for the 8 ft size and none for this one, so no weight is quoted.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150.
• 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

What are the 13 lighting modes?

The manufacturer names fast blink, jump lighting and shiny star as three of the five added beyond the usual eight. The full list is not published, so we do not print one.

How does the timer work?

Six hours on, eighteen hours off. Switch it on at the hour you want it lit and it returns at the same time each day until you unplug it.

How much floor space does it need?

5.1 ft across at the widest branches on a 22 inch base, so allow a floor circle of about five and a half feet. That is wider than most seven foot trees.

How is it different from the 6 ft and 8 ft sizes?

The series gives 762, 1074 and 1470 branch tips with 340, 450 and 580 lights, on 18, 22 and 24 inch bases. This listing is the 7 ft.

Will the flocking shed?

Some comes away at the first setup. Open it out over a sheet and hold the inner branches rather than the tips. Keep water and cleaning sprays off flocked foliage.
