PIFCO Cinderella Shades - First 3D Print Update of 2023

In this video, we give you an update on our long-running 3D printing project.

The process is slow due to the printing itself being outsourced to a friend, but we are making progress.

It's fantastic that we now have the technology to re-create these classic shades at a fraction of the cost of replacements.

We are attempting to improve our content, we now have a fresh intro and outro cards that are less cluttered, we are also adding chapters and have a new fresh and simpler look to our thumbnails, we hope you like the changed.

Shout out to @Primalvideo for all of the help over the years to get our act together and produce a better quality video and more consistent content.

Welcome to the Vintage Christmas Lights UK YouTube Channel.

I hope you enjoyed this new video!

Our aim is to provide videos featuring the 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 and deep dives into our extensive Christmas Light Archive.

If you have any interesting Christmas Light videos that we could add to are YouTube channel to archive for everyone, please leave a comment below with a link to the video, and it will be added.

None of your videos are monetized, and they 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 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 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 we got the domination of LED lights.

Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of modern lights that I do like, and I will try to do some videos about them too.

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 ?
