CLASSIC ROTATING
color
wheel
FOR ALUMINUM CHRISTMAS TREES
for
sale
If you have an
Aluminum Christmas, this is the first and a MUST HAVE accessory you need.
Since you should not string electric lights on Aluminum Christmas trees, a
Rotating Color Wheel is the traditional and best way to light it.
For
maximum viewing pleasure order one of our
color
wheels.
The color wheel lenses are
Green,
Blue,
Red and
Orange.
It is designed for up to a 60 watt Halogen Spot /
Flood* light (not
included).
There is an On / Off switch on the AC cord. While one is great, 2
gets both sides, and 3 is crazy colorful. Yeah, Baby!
NEW COLOR WHEEL
Normally
$79.99
when ordered separately
SORRY, BUT
COLOR WHEELS NO LONGER
AVAILABLE.
$54.99 when ordered
with a tree and now
ONLY available with 'Tree Orders' shown above!

Color Wheels have always been designed since their
inception in the 50's, to work with Spot or Flood type bulbs.
Standard light bulbs are "omni-directional" and will be very ineffective as
a light source when used in a color wheel.
When choosing bulbs, purchase small to medium diameter bulbs. The largest
body bulbs will not fit unless you also purchase
base extensions. The new LED bulbs work great and fit well, generating far
less heat and using many times less electricity.
Also, they are essentially built in the same manor they have been built in
since the late 1950's. Some of the originals were metal, and some plastic.
They all had plastic color wheels, that will melt / distort if exposed to
excessive heat. This is usually caused by a wheel that has it's rotation
impeded by something against it or because it get's knocked over. The motors
while small looking do last many, many years. Again, they are using the same
design and technology they were using in the 1950's, and I have lots of
originals that are still working, so while the new one's are not made in the
US, the new one's should last similarly.

A
NOTE ABOUT OUR NEW CHRISTMAS TREES
These
trees are proudly built in the USA.
I personally have the 7' Slim Deluxe, 'Stainless' Aluminum Artificial
Christmas Tree. WOW! I have
sold these for 8 years now. The "stock" photos do not, nor could do them
justice. I have sold many "vintage" trees over the past few years. I've had
all the classic ones from Evergleam, Peco, StarBand, etc. and while they
were all in fair shape for 40+ year old trees, they always had unraveling
tinsel on the branches, numerous wrinkled / bent needles, bent branches,
worn holes in the trunk allowing the branches to sag, beat-up trunks, bent
stands and the occasional missing branch. We would always do a bit of
"fix-up" on them, but if the tree had been used a few years and / or had not
been packed away carefully, they just always looked fairly "haggard" (no
slight meant on the famous, and rightfully so, country singer with the same
last name). These new trees are so much better built, and I don't say
that about many new versus older constructed things. I am fairly "old
school", not because I necessarily pine for the old days, but because I take
things apart to see how they're made. Most modern day products are very
"disposable" and have been for the past 25 years in my opinion. These new
trees are "bomb proof"! The tinsel is not simply thick aluminum foil. It's
much thicker, and springier than any originals I've seen (ie; less likely to
bend or crinkle). The needles are longer and the branches have a very cool,
"technical" look about their symmetry. They're not just a string of tinsel,
haphazardly wrapped around the branch wire. The traditional way of
attaching the needle tinsel to each branch is with cellophane (Scotch) type
tape. This is how the "vintage" / original trees were done from the 50's &
60's. As anyone who has owned or owns an old one knows, the tape has likely
long since lost it's adhesive / flexibility properties and are letting
branches un-ravel. That will not be the case on our trees. Each branch is
not taped, but double welded, at each end to avoid the usual problem
of unraveling needles. Also, some older trees had the trunk wrapped with
foil to achieve the "silver look". This will commonly be torn / ripped, or
un-raveling itself as it was also held by tape, letting the bare, white pine
wood show through. The usual fix for this is to strip the foil off, and
simply paint them. Our 1.25" diameter, solid wood trunks are completely
painted already the entire length to avoid the unsightliness of torn /
raveling foil. The "new for 2011" stand is amazing when compared to any
original. Instead of simply being "stamped thin steel" that is very light
weight and "tippy", this new stand is built of heavy gauge, tubular steel
with a VERY wide footprint. It's very heavy and solid and holds
the
tall 7' and 9' trees
to a much
more stable degree than any of the original versions.
The 5' and smaller trees come with our "billet"
machined, aluminum stand.
The branches come packed
in sturdy cardboard tubes, not the flimsy "butcher paper" that the originals
did, thus the branches are much more protected while being stored, and this
also expedites packing up for storage at the end of the season in a shipping
box that is mean to double as tree storage for many years to come. Finally
each tree comes with a 2 year limited warranty against manufacturer
defects.
Sorry for being so "long winded", but having now seen one of these in real
life, I can't say enough about these trees.
You'll love it!!!
FYI. I see some references to "Stainless Steel Christmas
Trees". They were never made from 'Stainless Steel', but aluminum.

ATTENTION: DO NOT INSTALL OR
USE ELECTRICALLY POWERED STRINGS OF LIGHTS WITH ALUMINUM CHRISTMAS TREES.
THIS WOULD PRESENT AN EXTREME, ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD, AND INJURY OR DEATH
WOULD BE LIKELY. USING COLOR WHEELS AND COLORED SPOT / FLOOD LIGHTS, PLACED
AWAY FROM THE TREE IS THE
TRADITIONAL WAY OF ILLUMINATING THEM. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT ANYONE THAT WILL
EVER BE SETTING UP THE TREE BE AWARE OF THIS. ALSO WEAR LIGHT GLOVES TO PROTECT YOUR HANDS
WHILE ASSEMBLING AND DISASSEMBLING YOUR ALUMINUM TREE. ALSO EYE PROTECTION
IS RECOMMENDED WHEN WORKING WITH ANY CHRISTMAS TREE, ALUMINUM OR OTHERWISE
TO REDUCE THE CHANCE OF EYE INJURY FROM BRANCH ENDS OR NEEDLES.
