Yeah, the British system with the fuse included in the plug top
never did make sense and is what prevents the use of moulded
plugs that have fixed the problem with them going bad over
time forever with cables that are made properly in the first place.


All of ours do and it’s the only thing that makes any sense. The
place for the breaker is in what its plugged into, not the plug itself.


All US Xmas lights that I have seen have the fuse in the plug!


Mad. Makes a lot more sense to have a breaker in the plug board.
