Are String Lights Safe?
Fairy lights and lanterns that use LED bulbs are safer than traditional bulbs. They produce less heat and consume less energy, making them last longer. Hang them on doors, porch railings, or mantels for a soft glow at night. Alternatively, put them inside a clear container or glass cloche for a lantern-like effect. Outdoor-safe lights look great wrapped around greenery, so onlookers can appreciate your patio or garden even at night.
What Kind of Outdoor String Lights Do I Need?
Beautiful on their own, LED string lights also sparkle when used in different ways:
- Fairy light lanterns Set them on the edges of your porch steps or around railings for an inviting welcome. Alternatively, place them near your outdoor seating area to mimic the charm of a café at night. String light lanterns also complement topiaries and potted flowers well. Display them throughout your home or gather pieces in varying sizes to create visual interest.
- Pathway lights Elevate your walkways with modern lights. Display them with matching Edison bulb string lights draped over tree branches or a pergola for a rustic look.
- Solar lights For a sustainable option, choose solar-powered lights to light up your al fresco gatherings. Our solar lights come with a battery that recharges daily, so your exterior spaces are well-lit at night. Finish the look of your display with flameless candles.
How Do I Choose Outdoor String Lights?
Searching for exterior lights will depend on certain factors. Here's how you can find the right ones for your home:
- Settle on a theme Your patio or backyard string light display should give guests an idea of what the inside of your home looks like. Make sure that your outdoor patio lights complement your foliage at night.
- Take note of nearby power outlets Make sure to have secure access to power sources in your decorating areas. Check that there are no damages or faulty wiring to ensure safety. For more flexibility, consider solar-powered or battery-operated lights.
- Measure the areas you want to decorate Determine how much space you have before purchasing garden or patio string lights and lanterns. To wrap around greenery and objects, a good rule of thumb is to get lights twice as long.
- Look for the 'outdoor-safe' label Outdoor-safe lights can withstand certain levels of sunlight and weather damage. We recommend having outdoor displays for up to three months per year, so they last longer.
- Test yourstring lights If anything is not working well, replace a bulb right away. Then, proceed with hanging twinkly lights around your home. Plug them in once again and check if you've achieved your desired set-up. Adjust, if necessary.

Choosing a Tree Height
Tree Shape
Tree Light Type
Tree Foliage
Please note that all tree heights indicated on our website include the tree stand. If you want the tallest Christmas tree your room will allow, we recommend buying a tree that is six inches shorter than your ceiling height to allow some clearance for a tree topper. For example, if you have a standard 8 - 9 foot ceiling, we would suggest a 7½ foot tree. Here are some more tips:
Under 6 feet trees
Best for tabletops or secondary spaces like kitchens or dens
6 - 6 ½ feet trees
Designed to fit homes with low to average ceiling heights.
7 - 7 ½ feet trees
Our most popular size, designed to fit perfectly in rooms with average 8 - 9 feet ceilings.
9 feet trees
Our second most popular size, designed for rooms with tall ceilings of 10 - 11 feet to create a stunning effect.
10 - 12 feet trees
These trees are beautiful centerpieces for two-storey living rooms, rooms with very high ceilings and some commercial spaces.
15 - 30 feet trees
These oversized trees are popular with churches, malls, and large office spaces to create grand holiday display.
We offer artificial trees in a wide variety of shapes, from traditional full-width trees to space-saving slim trees and flatbacks. When choosing your tree, we suggest that you consider the diameter (in the Shape description, this might be described as Full 40") of the Christmas tree to help you choose the perfect tree for your space. This measurement is taken at the very widest point of the tree. If you plan to have a few branches touching a wall or a piece of furniture, the true space occupied by the tree will be about six inches less than the stated diameter.
Regular (Full) Trees
Our most popular choice because of their lush profiles and sturdy branches.
Narrow Trees
Perfect for an elegant effect in smaller rooms and apartments.
Slim Trees
Our most slender trees, ideal for tight spaces, corners and foyers.
Flatback Trees
An elegant solution for small spaces, studios and small apartments.
Topiary Trees
Beautifully accent all parts of your home including patios, entryways and porches.
Balsam Hill's designers carefully craft our trees to mimic nature using site visits and cutting from live trees to guide them. We offer three types of foliage options that are made from either PE or PVC material. While some trees use one type of foliage exclusively, others may use mix of foliage types to achieve a particular look. The specific mix is specified on each product detail page in the section that describes the tree's foliage.
True Needle™ Technology
Balsam Hill's exclusive True Needle&tade; evergreen foliage is used to create our most realistic and luxurious artificial Christmas trees. This ultrarealistic foliage is created with injection-molded PE plastic and several different colors of pigment to mimic the structure, texture, and color of natural evergreen needles. A unique feature of True Needle™ foliage is the color variations within the branches. For example, the branch might be a brown/green while the needles start off a dark green and slowly fade to a lighter green.
Classic Needles
Balsam Hill's Classic Needle foliage has soft, flat and flexible needles with a more classic artificial look. These needles are made from thin sheets of PVC that are cut into fine strands to resemble evergreen needles. We use these resilient, flexible needles as the primary foliage of many of the trees in our very affordable Traditional trees. It is also used as filler for most of our Realistic and Most Realistic Christmas trees because of its superior ability to block light and create a "full" look for the tree.
Pine Needles
The PVC pine needles used by Balsam Hill® are specially designed to mimic the size and texture of long, thin needles of a pine tree. These needles even have the rigid texture of real pine needles. If you roll them between your thumb and finger, you will feel the ridges.
If you long for the beautiful glow of lights on your tree but dread untangling the wires, Balsam Hill's pre-lit Christmas trees are the answer. All of our lights are UL® approved and professionaly strung on the tree by hand to minimize the appearance of wires. Each of our pre-lit trees for indoor use come with premium commercial grade lights so that if one bulb burns out or is removed, the rest stay lit. We have a wide variety of pre-lit lighting options to suit every decorating need.
Color+Clear™ Lights
Our exclusive Color + Clear™ remote-controlled lighting system is available in both incandescent and energy-saving LED. The handy remote lets you choose clear lights, multi-colored lights, or both. With more than 50% additional lights, your tree will still have plenty of beautiful lights even if only one light type is selected. If you choose both clear and colored lights, your tree will display more lights than any other artificial tree you will find.
