Does anyone know what happens when a 220V Polish Chrsitmas-ree ligth set is plugged into an American 110V outelt? Assuming the Polish round-bolt plug has been replaced by an American flat-pronged one. Will the lights simply glow more dimly.. (almost forever?) or will theys not light up at all? The lower voltage should not cause them to immediately burn out or blow a fuse, should they?

Do you want to go playing with electrics? There are so many possibilities with such a hobby. You could make fire with electricity - a modern answer to one of humankind's most ancient of persuits. You could make your own ECT kit. Perhaps even just use the power of electrons to make a gherkin glow in the dark.

Don't be a cheapskate. Buy the proper electrical appliances for the country you are in. Always read the instructions.
