Cluster lights are my favorite when I want a dense, sparkling look. Holiday Hangups Cluster Lights have 1,500 warm white LED lights on a 50-foot strand, giving you a lot of light in a relatively small area.

I specifically made my cluster lights 50 feet long because I wanted them to match the longer strand length I was used to using with RAZ cluster lights. That makes them especially useful when you're lighting a larger tree or display—you get more length without having to connect as many strands.

Like the snake lights, they're connectable, so you can connect up to three strands together for larger trees and displays.

I also worked closely with my manufacturer on the settings and warm white color. They have medium and slow twinkle settings, and I eliminated the flashing setting because I wanted the lights to add movement without taking over the entire tree.

They also come with a remote control, so you can change the setting without having to reach behind your tree.

One of my favorite things about cluster lights is how versatile they are. I use them on Christmas trees, wreaths, garland and mantels, and I especially love using them down the trunk of a tree while using snake lights on the branches. Put the cluster lights on a subtle twinkle setting and you get a beautiful bit of movement inside the tree while the snake lights provide the main coverage.
