Tree Lighting

Tree lighting can be very tricky! If it is not done properly, people will know it was cheap and completed by an amateur. The key to proper tree lighting is having more lights than you think! A tree should be well lit and not look light a broken spider web or a grenade hit it when it is complete.

How can you tell if a tree is well lit or decorated the right way? When someone taps you on the shoulder and says, "Didn't you know it is rude to stare?"

Professional tree lighting that creates stop and go traffic by your home or office can only be accomplished by seasoned and trained professional Christmas light hangers, unless you are related to De Vinci! But it might take even a talented person a few weekends to get it right!

There are three types of Tree Lightings a professional can perform here at Christmas Decor by Hallco:

1. Trunk Wraps: We start at the bottom, wrap it nice and tight and up into a few low branches. This is a perfect option for larger trees that would typically be too expensive to light the entire tree.
2. Trunk & Branch Wrap: We do tight trunk wrap and then we run the lighting up through most of the branches to the very tips. This is done for most trees that loose their leaves.
3. Canopy Wrap: Are for trees that do not loose their leaves. We carefully wrap the lights in and around the leaves and branches from the top, the outer sections and even the middle of the tree to create a very full lighting display! This type of wrap can lend itself well to several different types of lighting options such as large bulbs, multi color, a mixture of large and mini bulbs or all minis!
