Christmas just isn’t Christmas without the beautiful twinkle of fairy lights, transforming your home into a winter wonderland.

Ever wondered just how many Christmas lights you need for your tree? We’ve created this guide to give you an indication of both the length and number of bulbs needed to dress your 5ft, 6ft or 7ft Christmas trees. If you need to know how many lights you’ll need for larger, commercial trees (10-40ft), please visit our commercial tree light guide.

What lights you choose to use will effect the overall outcome of the coverage on the tree. For example, if you use cluster lights the LEDs are closer together meaning it will give a fuller coverage. However, a fairy light has fewer LEDs on a string spaced further apart.  Here at Festive Lights, we have a number of different types of indoor Christmas lighting in a whole host of colours, styles and festive pizzazz to suit every decorative theme.

We hope this guide helped you! If you need anything else feel free to get in contact with our helpful festive folk!

If you’re also looking to create a grotto on your front lawn or to compete against the neighbours for the best display, we also have a huge range of outdoor Christmas lights ready for the winter season. You mustn’t forget your Christmas decorations too, browse our selection on the site today!
