subject: Why Have Fibre Optic Christmas Trees Become So Popular [print this page] As Christmas is getting closer many people are beginning to look at buying a new Christmas tree. For those who do not actually have an artificial Christmas tree locked away in your house somewhere, you'll realise there are a great deal of different styles for sale. There are many advantages to choosing artificial Christmas trees over a natural tree. With an artificial tree you will not need to recycle your Christmas tree each year once you've finished with it and you don't have to spend time trying to find the perfect tree each year you can just grab your existing one. These sorts of artificial Christmas trees have developed over the years going from basic goose feather branches to wire brush bristles. Now a days you will find most artificial Christmas trees are made from PVC and many companies have gone so far as to replicate actual trees such as Douglas fir and Ponderosa pine trees. When someone is on the lookout for some sort of unique man made tree then they won't find many as unique as fibre optic Christmas trees. With fibre optic trees you can achieve a wide range of effects as they shine different coloured light through the inside of the tree branches. This is possible as small, plastic fibres guide light along its length using total internal reflection. This gives the glowing effect through the fibre and allows different patterns and colours to be used to spectacular effect. The different colour patterns are typically achieved using a disc with different coloured slides that rotates at the bottom of the tree while the light shines through it and up the plastic optic cable. On the market these days you will find that there are 2 main sorts of fibre optic Christmas tree that you can buy, there are the ones that are similar to a regular tree but with the fibre optic lights looking like fairy lights and the other ones which are made completely from fibre optic cable rather than having green shrubs on them.
The popularity of fibre optic Christmas trees has increased considerably over the last few years. This is probably because they have all the practicality of artificial Christmas trees but have more of a stand out factor. Despite this there are a variety of other reasons that people love them so much. One of the most frustrating things about setting up a Christmas tree is having to straighten out the fairy lights but with a fibre optic tree you just have to plug it in and turn it on once you have put the tree together. Another common problem is that when one light goes out half of the others do too so you have to waste time searching for the one bulb that has burnt out so you can replace it and get your fairy lights working again. You can also get these sorts of trees in a wide range of different sizes so they can fit in any room or space that you need them to. Many people will even buy a smaller second Christmas tree that they can place at the entrance of their home so people can see it when they enter your home.
