A question we get asked a lot here at Festive Lights is “how do I install lights on an outdoor tree for Christmas?” In the video below we are going to show you exactly how to achieve this popular look using our versatile ConnectGo® lights.

Exclusive to Festive Lights, our ConnectGo® connectable lights system has been designed using only the latest cutting-edge technology to give you the freedom and flexibility to power your lights in the best way that suits you. Whether you opt for solar, low voltage mains, or battery power, you can rest easy knowing that these IP44 rated lights are perfect for any domestic or even commercial display.

Simply wrap and away you ConnectGo!

For anyone planning to transform a standard hard wood tree into something truly enchanting, wrapping our ConnectGo® lights tightly around the branches creates a magical, festive look when completed.

The images below are prime examples of how this can be achieved by simply connecting lights in sequence and wrapping them around different branches. Watch the video below for our top tips on wrapping an outdoor tree in ConnectGo® String Lights.

How do I install string lights on an outdoor tree for Christmas?

A question we get asked a lot here at Festive Lights is, “How do I install lights on an outdoor tree for Christmas?” So, in this handy instruction video, we show you exactly what you’ll need and how to achieve this popular look, step by step.

For a hard wood tree (such as in the video above) a ConnectGo® Ring Connector has been placed in the middle of the tree to allow the lights to run out in different directions in order to individually wrap each branch. Our handy Ring Connector has been specifically designed and manufactured with 9 connectable ports to allow your lights to branch off and create an awe-inspiring display.

Another option is to use a ring connector at the top of a fir tree, and run lights down in almost a curtain style from the ring at the top. Either way, the ring connector will certainly reduce time and effort whilst installing your lights, and allow you greater flexibility when it comes to running lights in various directions.
