Options include pre-lit wreaths with LED lights (often around 20 LEDs) and multiple lighting modes, unlit wreaths intended for adding your own lights, and battery-operated cordless models on many lighted designs.
Many lighted wreaths are battery-operated and list use of 3 AA batteries; some listings show No Battery Used or note that batteries are required but not included.
Wreaths commonly use synthetic foliage and trims such as PVC or PE/PVC foliage, HDPE materials, faux pine branches, and cypress-style leaves, often combined with natural-style accents like pinecones.
Several lighted wreaths list multiple lighting modes (often eight modes like twinkle, steady, and fade variations) and some include an automatic timer cycle such as a 6-hour on / 18-hour off setting.
Some wreaths are labeled for both indoor and outdoor use and described as waterproof or weather-resistant; one listing specifies materials that withstand temperatures from -20°F to 140°F, while other items recommend sheltered outdoor placement.
