    I bought a 6ft fibre optic one from Argos last year. The tree is nice but the light was awful. If you had it on during the day you would hardly have known it was switched on - and at night it didn't have that glow that Christmas trees usually have. I'm keeping the tree this year but leaving the fibre optic light switched off. I've bought fairy lights instead.

    I've put red fairy lites on my fibre optic and it looks mint!!!!!

    Really made a big difference!!!
