15' LED Christmas Light Mega Tree which I wrapped Our Church at First Presbyterian Church of Margate/Coral Springs, FL

I wrapped our church's mega tree with 1500 LED lights. These are 15 strings of 100 count LEDs from costco for $11.99. I donated the strings which have the benefit of ultra low power, so this will save our church money on the electric bill as well. These LED Christmas lights will probably last 30 years. One of our other members, Luke, added the 2 foot star that they got from Walmart for about $20.

This tree stands 15 feet tall, not including the star at the top. It's made from 1 inch orange girders, all screwed together to form the skeleton. Then chicken wire was wrapped around the entire tree. Then I came along, and with a 16 foot ladder from the church, I hung all the strands from the top, wedging them behind the chicken wire. These Costco LED strings are 50 foot lengths, so each string gives me 3 vertical segments on the tree, and I wrapped them all at the base of the center to form a narrow trunk. I then wrapped an 18 foot white LED rope light around the girth of the tree. I started at 10:30 AM and finished at 3PM!
