I like the twinkle setting that fades every other light on/off but we’ve had a hard time finding that type. We bought new led lights last year - warm white that could be switched to several different color settings, then you could change the color intensity from full 100% down to 20 or 25%.

I love copious lights on our tree. I like how the lights reflect in the tinsel I insist we use 🤩.
