Jasdip, years ago I had a fake tree and the lights I had just fit. I could go around and place them just right, so that they pointed up. I bought a new tree and it was okay with the lights if I worked at it. Two of the strands died and of course the new ones did not work the same. I bought several different lights, struggled to make them click on each branch upright. Finially one year I said to H**l with it and just threw them on the tree. Upright, sideways, whatever. I just tried to get some lights on all sides. They look fine after all the stuff is on the tree.

That is the only way I have done it for about 5 or 6 years now.
