Ok so I bought a lovely garden light up Christmas angel from the states. For 2 reasons I decided to remove the lights and put a uk set on.
Reason 1. The lights that were on her really ruined the look
Thick white wires poking out all over the place and big white bulb holders. Also the cord was pretty short and I felt more lights were needed to cover her properly. I bought a larger set of 100 (came with 70) on a thin clear cord which is all tucked away and completely invisible.
Pic attached.
Reason 2. Even though I have a step down transformer to convert the current from us to uk, I thought it would be much easier to have a uk set with a nice long cord that reaches into the house.
