Molded from a live Abies procera, this is the world's most realistic Noble fir, meticulously strung with the best lights available and backed by The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee. Available exclusively from Hammacher Schlemmer, it's the only tree with three-dimensional, injection-molded branch tips that replicate the exact growth patterns, round, curved needles, and branch silhouettes of a freshly cut Noble fir. The 4 1/2' tree has 1,100 branch tips and each one is handpainted to authentically recreate the renowned conifer's lush, dark green foliage. Unlike lesser trees that require over one hour of shaping, this one sets up in 15 minutes thanks to patented wire-lined tips that instantly assume their fullest shape when the tree is unpacked. The 4 1/2' tree has 250 incandescent lights and the light strands are painstakingly strung so that they are practically invisible against the branches. The lights provide up to 16,000 hours of bright white illumination, far superior to lesser lights rated for only 3,000 hours. An integrated circuit inside each bulb maintains illumination even when other bulbs on the strand are removed or broken. The 18-gauge wire branches are the strongest available and easily support large ornaments. Lights are controlled by a foot-pedal switch with an 8' cord. Inner branches and trunk are lined with PVC tips for fullness. Trees consist of two to five easy-to-assemble sections and have a foldaway stand. Clear or Multicolored lights. 4 1/2' Noble Fir. Full width. 250 lights and 1,100 tips. 40" Diam. (18 lbs.)
