Whether to start from the top or the bottom completely depends on the lighting system and the decoration method.
Traditional spiral wrapping usually starts from the bottom, where the power source is located.
However, for curtain-style, vertical hanging, or integrated modular lighting systems, the wrapping process typically begins from the top to ensure easier installation and better symmetry.

In professional large-scale displays — such as outdoor artificial light trees — the lighting layout follows the tree’s structure and height proportions, ensuring that illumination remains balanced and visually elegant from every angle.

1. Common Types of Light Strings and the Correct Starting Point

(1) Traditional String Lights (Connectable type, with outlet near the ground)

• Method: Spiral wrapping (from inside to outside, bottom to top)

• Starting point: Bottom — closer to the outlet, easier for wiring.

• Tip: Insert the lights slightly into the inner branches first, then pull them outward for a layered depth effect.

(2) String Lights with Female End Connector + Tree-Top Star Connection

• Method: Spiral wrapping

• Starting point: Top — keep the female connector at the top for easy connection to the star or other top decorations.

(3) Battery Box / USB Fairy Lights (Thin Copper Wire Type)

• Method: Free wrapping or zigzag pattern

• Starting point: Depends on where the power pack is placed.

  • If the battery box is hidden near the base or tree skirt — start from the bottom.

  • If it’s attached near the upper back or top section — start from the top.

(4) Curtain / Net Lights

• Method: Draping from top to bottom

• Starting point: Top — fix the upper edge first, then let it fall naturally for the neatest result.

(5) Vertical Draping (Using Multiple Short Light Strands)

• Method: Hanging vertically from the top like “light rain”

• Starting point: Top — ideal for tall trees; easy to install, remove, and replace lights.

(6) Zigzag Pattern

• Method: Move horizontally in a “Z” shape across the front of the tree

• Starting point: Nearest to the power source — usually the bottom, but if a tree-top ornament is connected, start from the top.
