Thanks Tim  :-D

All I did was to send the money to my freind and tell her to go see what Bubblers she could find....

Wish we could get them here in England  :cry:

Same Here.... I LOVE having them but it's a Pain in the Butt to have to run them though a Converter...

WISH some were made here in England I'd buy them, some freinds who have seen mine would like to have them as well

totally agree, i have many friends and relatives that say they would buy them if they were for the u.k. market, they dont like the idea of converters, i wonder why no one has come up with them, i really think they would be a great seller, i even have people pointing to their kids when they are passing my house and the tree is lit in the front window with my 3 sets of bigger modern day bubblers lit.  8-)

Are these a simple series string of lamps ? of suitable voltage each and number of lamps to suit 120 volt mains.

If so it should be possible to simply connect two sets in series to UK 230/240 volt mains.
The theoretical objection to so doing is that the voltage to earth/ground at one end is 240 volts, and not the 120 volts for which the insulation was designed. In practice though the insulation thickness and general design seems to be the same for 120 volts and for 240.
