VINTAGE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS UK

In this video, we have a look at one of several Pierrot and Snowmen projects we have in the works. These two sets featured are under the DAZLITE brand name, but these lights were also made primarily by PIFCO, they even share the same model numbers and box design. We will be revisiting these lights, and another set that we restored, and one that is under restoration. ____________________ Welcome to the Vintage Christmas Lights UK YouTube Channel.

The early 90s were the beginning of the end for 'classic' style Christmas light sets, new manufacturing and safety laws saw the delicate thinner cables replaced with thick and bulky black ones for 240v sets of lights, making them look cumbersome and chunky. NOMA still produce some 'classic style' sets of lights, identical to the late 80s lights, but unfortunately with the thick cable. But even these are going away slowly but surely and replaced with characterless, shadeless sets of LED lights. There are a lot of modern lights that we do like! We do hope that one of the legacy firms like PIFCO or NOMA bring back the classic style lights, perhaps in low voltage LED form in sets of 20 and 40, and possibly 60-100 too with the old style shades, a mix and match option would be brilliant.
