Question 1

What is “Just Cut” technology?

Accepted Answer

“Just Cut” technology are the PE pine tips that we use on our life-like trees made with injected molds from live trees to create the most realistic Christmas trees. Many of our trees are molded directly from real trees and thus have a natural “Just Cut” appearance.

Question 2

If one light bulb burns out in a “Always Lit” light set will the row continue to light?

Accepted Answer

Yes. However, as soon as you notice a burned out bulb it needs to be replaced so that extra current does not cause other bulbs to burn out faster. Please note: A light set will not function if any bulbs are missing, broken, or improperly inserted.

Question 3

Do burned out bulbs shorten the life of a light set?

Accepted Answer

Yes. By running a light set that contains 2 burnt out bulbs, the set life is diminished by 39% (1,170 hours) and 4 burnt out lights reduces the set life by 67% (2,010 hours). Conversely, if burnt out bulbs are immediately replaced you can extend the life of your lights beyond the 3,000 hour rating!

Question 4

Are O Tannenbaum trees flame retardant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All O Tannenbaum artificial Christmas trees are made with steel, copper, and Poly Vinyl-Chloride (PVC) and/or Polyethylene (PE). PVC is entirely "flame retardant" in accordance with procedures outlined by the Better Fabrics Testing Bureau Inc. The Polyethylene used in O Tannenbaum trees are mixed with a flame retardant agent that makes it resistant to spreading fire. All of our trees, wreaths and garlands, comply with flammability requirements, Section 1500.3 (C) (6) (IV) under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act. In order to be classified as flame retardant, a material must extinguish a flame within 3 seconds.

Question 5

Can I use my O Tannenbaum tree outside?

Accepted Answer

No. O Tannenbaum trees are intended for indoor use only. Using a tree outdoors will void the warranty.
