Boto Inc. (DrFestive) Artificial Pre-lit Tree Review

Overall Rating

Looks fantastic. I've had no problems with mine in any manner. This is it's 6th or 7th season.
Very natural looking and gentle on antique ornaments. Very soft needles. Well constructed.

Most people no longer remember how, or have the patience to, find and replace bad bulbs. They won't last forever.
I find that buying a lamp dimmer (any hardware store, about $15), and running the tree at about 70%-80% adds indefinite life to the bulbs.

I'm disappointed that the DrFestive website is gone. I had never been to it and though it would be fun as I just rediscovered the card in the box.

When buying a pre-lit tree, keep in mind that the lights are wired in series, and if so much as one works loose, or the shunting device in an individual lamp fails when it burns out, the whole section will go dark. you need to be prepared to either remove each lamp and replace with a good one until the section re-lights, or buy a wand style lamp tester that can actually detect the burned out lamp. They're like $17-$20, but worth it.
