Of course the set manufacturers don't want this because they make thier
money by this bulb confusion trick. Every couple of years you have to
buy a new set because no mater which set you bought you just can't seem
to get the bulbs any more (and even if you can you end up spending the
same for a couple of years' supply as the original set!).

We bought a set of 40 Christmas Tree lights from Woolies over 25 years
ago. They still stock replacement bulbs, not that we've needed them
much. This set is still going strong touch (xmas tree) wood.

Bah humbug etc...

Nay, Merry Christmas!!

:-)

Anyone beat 25 years for the life of a set?


I bet my dad's still got the set we had when I was a kid ... somewhere

Mine just packed up today after 42 years!.


Could it be because it was only used for Welsh programs?
Proportionally, that would be about right.
