I've just bought a 7.5ft slim christmas tree - and before you all flame me for buying an artificial one - DH is badly allergic to real trees.
I googled to see how many lights I should put on it and am a bit flummoxed by the answers. Apparently there is a rule that you have 100 lights per vertical ft of tree. That means I need 750 lights apparently....? Doesn't that sound a bit OTT? I have a string of 240 lights and was hoping that would do. Google was saying that with a big tree, you generally need to add a few strings of lights per tree, which would mean I would have about four plugs just for that!
Is that what everybody else does then? In the past when we had a 6ft tree I just had one string of 100 lights and I thought it looked ok .
