Teardrops solve a design problem that wreaths and garland do not: they create a vertical focal point without requiring a long horizontal run. The 36-inch Mixed Noble Teardrop is sized for entryways, columns, light poles, storefronts, and layered greenery arrangements where installers need depth in a controlled footprint.
This guide focuses on the Mixed Noble Teardrop 36" and the decisions that help contractors turn its listed specifications into a repeatable field plan. For a broader purchasing framework, review How to Buy Commercial Grade Christmas Lights.

Shape is part of the installation
Commercial greenery is compressed for shipping, so the finished appearance depends on careful shaping. Start at the center spine and work outward. Separate tips into layers, direct some forward for depth, and keep the overall silhouette balanced. Do this on the ground or prep table before the piece is elevated. A properly shaped teardrop photographs fuller and makes lighting distribution look more intentional.
Plan the field conditions
Plan the mounting point, wind exposure, drainage, cord path, and removal method before hanging the piece. The steel frame needs support appropriate for the structure and local conditions. Avoid locations where the greenery will sit in standing water, rub against sharp edges, or block doors, signage, cameras, or required access.
A repeatable contractor workflow
- Confirm the 36-inch scale against the elevation with a photo mockup or field measurement.
- Shape and inspect the foliage, lights, frame, and lead before lifting.
- Choose attachment hardware rated for the substrate and expected load.
- Route power so connections remain protected and serviceable.
- Photograph the final mounting method for efficient removal and reinstallation.
Where this product fits
This teardrop works well as a repeated accent—paired at an entry, spaced down columns, or combined with garland and wreaths. Repetition creates a premium commercial look while keeping inventory and installation procedures consistent.
Build the full job estimate
Estimate the complete decorative feature rather than the product alone. Include design time, shaping or assembly, site-specific mounting hardware, lift or ladder access, protected power routing when illuminated, installation labor, removal labor, and the storage volume required to preserve the piece. A realistic line item protects margin and makes the customer’s scope easier to understand.
Plan service, removal, and storage
Photograph the finished attachment and cord route, then label the piece to its property and location. During removal, inspect the frame, fabric or foliage, lights, cords, and hardware. Clean and dry every component before packing it in a container that protects its shape. Those records make next season’s installation faster and reduce avoidable design drift.
Check the current configuration before ordering
