You're stuck with either white or coloured lights (racist!). Not sure if any of them use LED lights yet. If want to - zork Dec 22, 10:53 12
- and don't get the fibre optic ones. they look ugly, have already gone out of style, and probably have more problems with the wiring failing. -- nm - zork Dec 22, 10:57
- I'm pretty sure I saw one at Target with LED's, but I could be wrong. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 22, 10:56
- This is sounding more and more like a good idea. I was figuring on getting two years out of it.... hell, if they last longer than that, BONUS! -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 22, 10:55 5
  - you'd better get more than 2 years out of it, that's a large item to throw in the trash in two years! -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 22, 10:59 4
    - But you throw a real tree in the trash every year. -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 22, 11:01 3
      - no, i don't. they have 'tree pick up' and it goes where our green bin waste goes. - Elf Andie Dec 22, 11:04 1
        
        (green bin waste is organic and gets treated and used for ground cover, etc.) -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 22, 11:05
      - we recycle in this town, -- nm - Loosi Lou Who Dec 22, 11:02
- er, what is there besides white or colored? -- nm - Loosi Lou Who Dec 22, 10:54 3
  - All one color? I've seen trees with all red lights; not my style, but people do it. -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 22, 10:57
  - integrated! -- nm - zork Dec 22, 10:55 1
    - real answer: some years we want just white lights on the tree and others we want coloured ones. best compromise if getting pre-wired is to get white.. - zork Dec 22, 11:00
I have had one for 5 years...This will be the last year - amoxy Dec 22, 10:52
We have had one for 4 years now that we got at Target (shocker) for like $60. Just this year about 1/2 of the lights went out. - JaxSean Dec 22, 10:52
I own one, this is year two using it, I love it for our small little place. -- nm - TFox Dec 22, 10:50
*shrug* They look nice. That's all I know. -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Dec 22, 10:49
