Light Kit for Christmas Tree #40573

Two trees from one box

A Christmas tree is the one decoration that has to be assembled every year, which may be why the ritual survives. The shape is familiar, but the ornaments, the lights and the room around it change. The 2022 Christmas Tree set takes that idea literally: it can be built as one large tree or as two smaller ones, so the same box can produce a centrepiece or a pair of table decorations.

Two trees come out of the box in Lego set 40573: one about 30 cm tall, or a pair of smaller trees for a table. The branches are layered rather than solid, with space between them for ornaments, and the set includes a star, coloured baubles and a small pile of wrapped gifts. The trunk is built around a central core, which keeps the tree stable when it is moved. There are no minifigures; this is a decoration first and a play set second.

A tree that moved indoors

The decorated Christmas tree arrived in German homes in the sixteenth century and spread through Britain and North America in the nineteenth. It moved indoors because it could be lit: candles, then electric bulbs, made the tree a source of light in the darkest week of the year. The layered branches of the LEGO model preserve that function. The ornaments are there to catch the light, not to replace it.

ZENE Bricks designed this lighting kit for the single-tree build. A warm white strand winds through the inner branches, with a brighter point at the star; the ornaments take small coloured accents while the main light stays warm, so the tree reads as a tree rather than a fairground. Star, branches or both can run independently. The feed drops down the trunk and out through the base, so the tree lifts away in one piece. The result is a tabletop tree that looks lit from within rather than covered in dots. It suits a dining table, a hallway console or a desk in a room where a full-size tree will not fit. The lego christmas tree 40573 light kit is made for exactly this model, and the light kit for lego christmas tree is a straightforward way to make a small decoration carry a room. As a lego christmas tree light set, it is more about atmosphere than spectacle.
