I want a christmas centerpiece with lights that is both elegant and not overpowering. I do not want something too tall or wide that blocks conversation. I want soft warm lights that make the table glow. Candles are nice but I also want battery powered lights that are safe for long dinners. I also like greenery and some small ornaments mixed in. My table is medium sized and rectangular. It should feel festive but not cluttered. 
Does anyone have recommendations for table centerpieces with lights
I recommend a long greenery garland with integrated battery lights. Add a few small ornaments in gold or silver. It gives a warm glow and does not block view. Guests can enjoy the ambiance and the table looks balanced. You can adjust the lights to your desired brightness.
Use a glass tray with small LED candles and tiny ornaments. It is elegant and safe. The lights give a soft reflection and create a festive mood. It is also easy to move when serving food.
A centerpiece with a small artificial tree and string lights works well. Add minimal ornaments so it does not look busy. Keep it low so guests can see each other. Battery powered lights make it safe for long hours.
I like the greenery garland with lights
Place clear jars with fairy lights inside. Surround them with pinecones or small decorations. It looks elegant and lasts the whole dinner. You can place multiple jars along the center of the table.
Try a lantern style centerpiece. Place LED candles inside with small greenery around. It adds a warm glow and looks refined. You can line two or three on a long table.
Use a reflective base like a mirror or tray to enhance the glow from small lights. Place candles or battery lights on it. The reflection makes the display feel larger and more elegant.
A small snowy village scene with integrated lights works beautifully. It adds charm and elegance without taking too much space. Guests enjoy the subtle glow and it is easy to store afterward.
Cluster candles with string lights around them. Keep ornaments minimal. It adds sparkle without being too overwhelming. It is safe with battery lights and looks cozy.
Place battery lights in a shallow bowl with ornaments and greenery. Keep it compact. It looks festive but not messy. It is easy to move and store after the season.
I will try the lantern style centerpiece
