Star Trek Ornaments – Powered From Line Voltage (Video)

Leave a reply
In this video I show you how I altered the characteristics of a single traditional string of Christmas tree lights to allow all of my Star Trek Hallmark ornaments to be powered. Starting in 1991, and until 2005, Hallmark released Star Trek (and other) ornaments that were powered by removing a bulb from a “standard” Christmas tree light string (typically 50 bulbs per circuit, but also 20 bulbs per circuit), and plugging the ornament into the place where the bulb had been removed. The recommendation was not to replace any more than 2 or 3 bulbs with ornaments, likely because the ornaments consume more energy than a bulb, so the voltage to the ornaments would become too low. In this video, I show you how I replaced some lights with short circuits in order to keep the voltage high enough to power more than the recommended number of ornaments. This might not be the best way, the way you’d do it, the safest way, etc, it happens to be the way I did it, and it happened to work. There are other ways to power these old ornaments, but no other way that I found that was as inexpensive; I didn’t spend a dime. The video is boring and long. Sorry about that. The most important concepts are up-front, so you can bail if you don’t care to see the demonstration of the end product. One thing to note, if you plan to embark on a project like this, is that the Klingon ship is not the same as the others with respect to how it affects the other ornaments on the string. Rather than figure that out, I simply put the Klingons on the separate circuit (each 100 bulb string has two circuits). So 14 ornaments are on one 50 socket circuit and 1 is on the other 50 socket circuit. Live long and prosper! -sengsationa1

Additional information: There was a Star Trek Keepsake Ornaments Puzzle that teased the identity of this ornament leading up to its release.
Pros: If you’re a collector focused solely on starships, the Romulan Warbird brings some welcome variety. Its unique, sweeping design stands out among the fleet and adds visual contrast on the tree.
Cons: Unfortunately, the ship’s design doesn’t translate well to a holiday ornament. The combination of muted green tones, soft detail, and heavy texture makes it read more like a vague plastic blob than a majestic vessel. It had potential—but always feels like a missed opportunity.

Pros: Individually, these tiny ships don’t make much of a statement—but when paired with the 2001 Deep Space Nine ornament, they become something greater. Suspended from the station’s docking pylons, they transform into a dynamic mini display that celebrates the breadth of the Star Trek universe.
Cons: At this scale, detail takes a serious hit. The ships are more suggestive silhouettes than faithful miniatures, lacking the precision that fans expect. Great from a distance, but not built for close inspection.

Pros: A standout entry thanks to its striking paint job and impressive lighting. The deep greens and reds give it an authentic, battle-worn look, and when lit, it truly comes to life on the tree—aggressive, angular, and unmistakably Klingon.
Cons: As with all early pigtail ornaments, powering it can be a challenge. Finding compatible light strands is increasingly difficult, which can turn setup into a mini engineering mission. When it works, though, it’s glorious.

Pros: A graceful sculpt that captures the sleek curves of the Enterprise-D, and a welcome expansion into The Next Generation era. For many fans, it marked the beginning of a new frontier in the ornament series.
Cons: Unfortunately, the execution isn’t quite as smooth as the ship itself. The ornament tends to pitch up due to the weight of the power cord, making it hard to display level. On top of that, the lighting is disappointingly dim—more of a flicker than a feature.

Pros: This is the one that started it all—the very first Star Trek Hallmark ornament. A true milestone. For longtime collectors, it’s a must-have and a nostalgic anchor for any display.
Cons: The blinking red and green lights on the saucer section haven’t aged as gracefully. Instead of enhancing the design, they clash with the ship’s otherwise clean lines and subdued aesthetic. A little less “holiday disco,” a little more starship elegance would have gone a long way.
