How to Choose

Start by matching the string format to your application: mini or M5 strings for trees, bushes, and garland; larger C7 or C9 strings for architectural outlines; net lights for shrubs and hedges. Verify the string length covers your measured area and that the light count delivers the density you want. Color and lens style are personal choices — warm white reads traditional while multicolor creates a festive classic look.
