Can anyone talk to me about how many tree lights I should have?

[attheendoftheday]

I am upgrading a lot of our Dec's this year to ones I prefer. It's just occurred to me that I hate our fairy lights with an abiding passion as they are in a loop and tend to get tangled.

So I want to get some more, aiming for ones that will last. We normally have a tree around 5ft, but possibly up to 6ft (not got our tree yet, going next weekend for one). How many lights should I be aiming for, would you say?

I currently have 2 sets of 200, which doesn't seem quite enough. And they don't have a very warm glow like I remember our childhood lights having, possibly because they are leds?

Anyway, any fairy light advice gratefully received!

We have a 7 foot tree with just over 1000 warm white lights. One string is a cluster string with 768 lights on a 6 meter cord which is wrapped around the middle of the tree from top to bottom. The second is 240 normally spaced lights on a slightly longer cord and that's fills the fuller bottom half of the tree. Looks amazing and very twinkly.

7ft tree with probably 400 lights and it's perfect.
I do look at other trees and think they are over lit and decorated though!
