Unusual Set of 20 Woolworth Hybrid Christmas Lights Restoration - Part 1
Welcome to the Vintage Christmas Lights UK YouTube Channel.
This is part one of thee in a series of videos about this strange set of lights I got cheap on ebay.
They are seemingly a set of 20 shadless Woolworth or Winfield Christmas lights that someone has added a set of clear trumpet style shades from a set of Britram lights.
They do work, but they have a dangerous section of exposed and damaged cable, join us as we examine, repair and finally restore these lights.

We will be slowly adding videos over the next few weeks, we have been filming multiple videos featuring classic sets of Christmas Lights that were sold in the UK, how to fix and restore them, guides, tips, hints and guides, plus videos of unique lights in operation.
If you have any interesting Christmas Light videos that we could add to are archive then leave a comment below with a link to the video and it will be added, none of our videos are monetized and are here for all to view and enjoy. ;)

A little 'light' history.
The early 90's 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 cables for 240v sets of lights making them look cumbersome and chunky, NOMA still produce some 'classic style' sets of lights, identical to the late 80's lights but unfortunately with this thick cable.
Over the years, Christmas lights have been replaced with characterless, shadeless sets of lights, then eventually the domination of LED lights.
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.
What do you think ?
Don't get me wrong, there are some modern lights I do like, and I will try to do some videos about them too
