🎄✨ **How many cluster lights do you need to light a 6.5-foot Christmas tree?** Spoiler: it’s _three_ — and here’s exactly how you do it! 💡 Start **at the top** of the tree with the connector end of the first 49.5 ft strand and work my way **down using my zig-zag lighting technique**. When that strand runs out, connect the **second strand** and keep going down the tree. At the bottom, use the **extra length** to wrap around the back for full coverage — that’s the strand that plugs into the outlet. Then connect the **third strand back to the top** and fill in any spots that need a little extra sparkle. ✨ You can connect up to three cluster lights together — perfect for a full, evenly lit 6.5-foot tree that _glows from every angle._ If you’ve been wondering how to make your tree look like it came straight from a designer showroom… this is the secret. 🌟 👉 Comment “Cluster” for the link to shop my favorite lights. 👉 Follow for more Christmas lighting tips, tree tutorials, and decorating inspo all season long!
