A tree glowing with Christmas lights makes any home look merry and bright. It adds warmth to gatherings, whether you’re enjoying a special meal or opening presents on Christmas Day. At Balsam Hill, we offer pre-lit trees with various light options to suit your style. Here’s everything you need to know about our Christmas tree lights.
BENEFITS OF A BALSAM HILL PRE-LIT TREE
Our PRE-LIT CHRISTMAS TREES make assembly quick and easy, giving you more time to celebrate the season.
FEATURED: VERMONT WHITE SPRUCE® & ALPINE BALSAM FIR®
PROFESSIONALLY HAND-STRUNG
Lights are strung by hand to provide optimal coverage and keep wires from showing.
EASY PLUG® TECHNOLOGY
Our patented trunk design has built-in light string connections for tangle-free set-up and storage. Simply plug the tree into an outlet to light it up. Available on most trees.
OPTIMIZED BULB HUE
Exclusive Candlelight™ LEDs cast a warm, candle-like glow unlike the blue tones of most LED lights.
LED CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHT TYPES
We offer pre-lit trees with LED lights in various colours. Unlike incandescent lights, LED Christmas lights use light-emitting diodes that don’t produce much heat. They emit brighter light and consume less energy. They also stay lit longer, saving you on both electricity and replacement bulbs.
Opt for a classic look with Candlelight LED, switch it up with colour-changing lights, or go for smaller lights that create a big impact. Enjoy energy-efficient, long-lasting lights no matter what style you choose.

HOW MANY LIGHTS DO I NEED FOR MY CHRISTMAS TREE?
The number of lights depends on the height and shape of your tree. For example, a 225-centimetre tree with a full profile will require more lights than a narrow tree of the same height. Personal preference also plays a big role in determining light count.
Here are our recommended light counts based on tree height and desired coverage. Feel free to add lights depending on your preference. We also have a Christmas lights calculator for easier estimation.
| Tree Height | Low Density | Medium Density | High Density | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 325
| 650 | 975 | ||
| 450 | 900 | 1350 | ||

| 1350 | 2025 | ||
| 800 | 1600 | 2400 | ||
| 1000 | 2000 | 3000 |
