In this video, we take a look at two similar sets of lights made by two different companies.
The first is a set of NOMA Decorative Lanterns, the second is a set of WOOLWORTH Pom-Pom Lights, we just call them Snowballs.

A little 'light' history.
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 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 ?
