Tree lights. Multicoloured or white?

[TheRavensFeather]

My decorations are sort of traditional. Greens and reds. Golds.

What do you think?

Clear ideally. White at a push. Never coloured .......... shudders

Warm white?
As opposed to the cold blue icy white.

Coloured are the new white! White is over. We went coloured a couple of years ago and not looked back. Go coloured.

warm white

We have loads of coloured twinkly lights ...love them

I love a bit of multi coloured lights though. But the newer LED versions only have red/yellow/blue/green in them, and no orange/pink like the fairy lights of old.

Coloured are the new white!

Clearly you did not I've through the 70s

i couldn't decide either

Warm white. Depends what you're looking for, but for more traditional/ elegant go for warm white, more fun then go for coloured.

The style police will always shudder at coloured lights, but if you can't stick two fingers up to the style police at Christmas, when can you? Have what you like.

The trouble with modern lights, whether coloured or not, is that they do look harsh, not that soft twinkly light you got with the old ones. Though I did find some old style ones in Homebase the other day, hooray.

I really want to tell you to get coloured lights because I love them but with your decs I would have warm white lights.

I switched to coloured lights 2 years ago but this year I'm going to put both sets on and see how that works

Coloured, white, clear the more the merrier

If you're doing a colour theme, I'd say just white. Warm white, pref. Or white and one of the colours of the theme.

But that's if you're doing a theme. One thing I've charted over the years is a certain progression of tree lighting. When one is an [young] adult, esp when they first start having their own tree, they go all tasteful and themed and classy and white lights. But when they have children, they start craving coloured lights again. It happened to me and so many people I know.

Which do you prefer? The end of the day, it's your tree.

I hate LED lights. We have coloured old type bulbs and an eclectic mix of decorations. No tinsel.

White.

Definitely multi coloured

coloured...it would look odd with white against strong coloured decor

Coloured. I think any style police who criticised would be somewhat dated style police, as coloured lights are definitely stylish now.

Warm white. Classic and you can't go wrong.

Try and get traditional fairy lights instead of the little LED lights that everywhere sells now. Tesco have some.

Ive had the same set of twinkly warm white fairy lights for fifteen years and still going strong.

We've always had multi coloured but I'm giving warm white a go this year with a different look for the tree.

I'm veering towards warm white for your decorations Ravens. You can get lights in just one colour too; maybe green would look nice?

Coloured on the tree, white around the house.

Oh gosh. This hasn't helped at all

You'll rarely get a definitive answer on Mn. It'll look lovely whatever you do Ravens, I'm sure.

Multicoloured always, I grew up with them in the 70s and have always had them. White are dull and sterile looking, not Christmassy at all. Same goes for themed decorations.

coloured but not led. If white they should be warm white, not white white and definitely not blue...thems the rules
