Bubble lights on artificial X-Mas trees?

Easy quick question, can I put bubble lights and other larger lights on a fake X-Mas without the tree melting or something?
 
Usually the lights don't get that hot to do any damage to the tree. Plus, i would assume that the plastic in the tree would have a high enough melting point.
 
I don't see why not. Just don't put too many strings, and make sure the large bulbs are on the outer branches. Should be fine.

Light bulbs get to like 200, my dad had a bulb light blow up, obviously that was a screwed up one. :lol:

I haven't ever seen anyone with a fake tree have bubble lights, bubble lights are awesome. I figured maybe many years ago the plastic was terrible, but in today's age they have that plastic cooking stuff that goes in the oven.

Not too many bulbs?!?! I stick 5-6 strings together. :lol:
 
Well I only leave it on when I'm in the room, so if there is a problem I'm there. There are some idiots that leave it on all the time.
 
Oh don't worry about it. My family has been using bubble lights for like the past 20 years. :lol: The lights do get pretty warm, but not hot enough to damage the tree. My tree is made out of thin shards of plastic (or paper, I can't tell), and I've never had a problem. I thought everyone used bubble lights on artificial trees...
 
Seeing how there are fake trees with built in lights... yes.
