The power requirements for Christmas tree lights depend on the size and type of lights being used. For example, a standard string of 100 mini lights typically uses 40 watts of power, while a string of 500 lightbulbs can use as much as 300 watts. For a larger tree, you may want to use a combination of different types of lights to reduce the overall power consumption. If you're concerned about power usage, you can always look for energy-efficient LED Christmas lights, which use much less power than traditional incandescent lights.
