I had a difficult time deciding if I wanted to spend the extra bux for the lighted tree  finally thought it would be worth it when it went on sale. Boy was I wrong DO NOT waste money on the pre lit tree. Better off lighting it yourself. Seriously shotty work I expected to do some fluffing but it was slow going since the light strings were wadded around the branches.... Outlets are hanging out everywhere with some taped together. I cant decide if want to just cut them off  redo with LEDs. Summary you may have to fiddle with the tree...but its ok...the lights totally suck.
