8 FT Black Artificial Halloween and Christmas Tree with 450 Cool White LEDs

A Halloween display and a Christmas tree normally mean two sets of decorations, two boxes in the loft and two lots of storage space for a fortnight of use each.

The manufacturer photographs this tree twice: hung with pumpkins and skulls in October, and with red and gold baubles in December. Black foliage and cool white light suit either, and the tree itself does not change.

Eight feet, four across

8 ft of height against a 4.2 ft spread on a 24 inch stand. That is a full profile, so tape out a four and a half foot circle. Guides advise about a foot of clear air above the tip, which puts this in a room of nine and a half feet or more.

Cool white on black

The close up shows why the palette works. Cool white bulbs on black needles give a hard, bright contrast where warm white would go muddy. The manufacturer states UL588 certification for the lights.

Two leaf types in black

860 tips in two foliage types: frosted pine needles and flat PVC leaves. On a black tree the mix matters more than usual, because there is no colour variation to fall back on. Texture is the only thing giving the foliage depth.

The same tree, both ways

Side by side the argument is obvious: red and gold on the left for December, orange and black on the right for October. Nothing about the tree changes between them except what is hanging on it.

Two foliage types, frosted pine needles and PVC leaves.

A hard, bright contrast against black, stated UL588 certified.

Three hinged parts plus the stand, so an eight footer stays manageable.

The base screw is fitted, so no hole alignment is needed.

Branches slide into place automatically as each section is raised.

Included, and useful on a tree that shows marks.

Black suits Halloween in October and a modern scheme in December.

The manufacturer states the supplied adapter is UL certified.

Black foliage with cool white light is a deliberate look rather than a novelty.

Eight feet of black tree is what people photograph.

What ceiling height does it need?

About nine and a half feet. Guides advise keeping roughly twelve inches of clear air above the tip, and a topper adds to that.

Why cool white rather than warm?

Because the foliage is black. Warm white bulbs against black go muddy and yellow; cool white keeps the contrast sharp, which is what the manufacturer has chosen here.

What ornaments work on a black tree?

Orange, bone and cobweb for October; gold, copper and red for December. Anything dark disappears into the foliage.

How is it different from the smaller sizes?

The series gives 362, 572 and 860 branch tips with 210, 320 and 450 lights for the 6, 7 and 8 ft sizes. This listing is the 8 ft.
