5.1 Preparing Your Tree
Ensure your Christmas tree is assembled and stable before installing the lights. The top of your tree should be strong enough to support the light system's central ring.
5.2 Installation Steps
- Place the Top Ring: Position the central ring (U-shaped bracket) at the very top of your Christmas tree. Ensure it is securely seated.
- Drape the Light Strings: Carefully drape the 24 individual light strings evenly around the tree, allowing them to hang naturally from the central ring to the base.
- Secure with Accessories: Use the provided cable ties and bar support to further secure the light strings to the tree branches as needed, ensuring an even distribution and desired aesthetic.
- Connect Power: Connect the 11.5ft power line to the adapter and plug it into a power outlet.
