But considering how little heat the midget lights emit, it's not much of a hazard. The bigger danger is the actual wire and its less-than-ideal connection to the mains plugs, as illustrated. That's why my suggestion to cut off the chintzy crimp-on plug and use a standard replacement mains plug. After the light-set is taken down, the replacement plug can be unscrewed and tossed in a drawer for later re-use on something else. The light-set then gets thrown in the trash. :) Indoor Grills: Correct. But considering how little heat the midget lights emit, it’s not much of a hazard.

If you are uncomfortable with the supplied crimped-on plug, you can always buy normal screw-on replacement plugs. But for something so cheap like this, not worth it. And obviously with a standard plug, you won't be able to stack them. :) P.S. If you are uncomfortable with the supplied crimped-on plug, you can always buy normal screw-on replacement plugs.

The better quality ones have miniature fuses embedded in the plugs - you can pop out a little sliding cover to change them if they ever blow. Others don't. These things are disposable anyway. They don't last longer than one season. Those lights, with the flat pin plugs are what are sold here in the USA, although our line voltage is from 110-125.
