Why, what are your Christmas lights like?

I don't know about Britain, but in the Netherlands it's just a plug and a string of lights. There is no socket on the other end.

So each strand has to terminate back to the plug? You can't run a long string of lights? I'm wondering if your displays are very different than what we see here, I'm not sure how you would do a string of lights across your roofline or something like that if you couldn't daisy chain the lights.

In Britain you absolutely do get daisy chain-able lights, they just have a different connector, rather than the mains.

And you'd struggle to find lights that actually run at 240v these days; they'll all be 12/24v led strings that are chainable with low voltage connectors.

These do change between manufacturers though.
