Hi all

I know this might sound like a stupid question, but we are in the process of packing all our worldly goods in preparation for our move to Spain and have discovered that we have absolutely loads of Christmas decorations and lights. Can anyone tell me whether it is worth taking the tree lights/fibre optic ornaments with us, i.e. would they work/be safe in Spain or should I just leave them all behind? Sorry to ask such a silly question, but I really don't know what to do!

I'd leave them behind. Places like Casa and Bricoman sell them really cheaply.

Of course they'll work,bring them with you.Besides I think British christmas decorations are generally better quality & more ornate than Spanish ones.If you later decide on new stuff,you can always car-boot sale them here.

Today I bought 6 meters of Tubo lights cost was 9 euro's
cheap as chips!!!

Technically, there's no reason not to bring them. They'll work just fine with a plug change. The Spanish supply voltage is a little lower than Britain, which will actually increase the life of the bulbs slightly.

Thanks for all your replies. Have decided to take a few with me and check out the Spanish selection when I arrive!

just bought 12m of coloured xmas lights in Carrefour for €13,99, 8 different 'twinkling' settings lol.
they have quite a good selection of decorations and lights at very reasonable prices.

That work have few from uk and change the plug colour amd mono ones
On most brands of Christmas lights:
>"For indoor or outdoor use only".
>(As opposed to...what?)
