The Lights I Tested

The [Brizled 200 LED Outdoor String Lights Warm White](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Brizled+200+LED+Outdoor+String+Lights+Warm+White&tag=thetestedhub-20) lit up my biggest trunk start to finish. The wire is genuinely thin, which makes spiral wrapping easy.

I wrapped five different outdoor Christmas lights around the maple trunks in my yard to find the ones that survive a real winter without dying.

Quick answers

How long should trunk lights be for a typical tree?

Plan one hundred feet for a tree trunk up to ten feet tall with branches. The wider your spiral spacing, the less you need. I bought one hundred and fifty foot strands for safety.

Will LED lights damage tree bark?

Not if you wrap loosely. Tight wrapping girdles young branches over a season. Re-loosen wraps every November and you will not hurt the tree.
