Who uses Pifco on their tree?

The festive period is just around the corner and trees will be going up and decorated. As part of Project SYEU (Screw You EU) I'm trying to persuade "The Radar" to dump the LED lights and go for something more traditional.

Hate to say it, but currently warm white LED set (which I've had about 10 yrs and they still work!) before that, Pifco Jewel lights - 2 sets of 40
Bad choices make good stories!

LED all the way, you can`t actually get micro tungsten lamps any more here, unless you get them out of pound shops!, and their just full of untested China crap!, all ours come from B+Q rip stores :roll:

I have a real mix, the main tree does have LED though I cut the flasher off one set as it defaults to flashing on power up and I hate flashing Christmas lights. Outside I have a GLS festoon set and four coloured 18w fluorescents. I have a couple of vintage 20 sets in the kitchen diner from 1985 and 1986 which I have a good stock of bulbs to keep them going.
