So I just got a great deal on something in B&Q.

Opening the packaging, in CAPITAL LETTERS, in BOLD, it states FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY.

No, its not a lawnmower, petrol fuelled air compressor, or BBQ.

Its one of those LED blossom trees, and a low voltage one too. (I know, couldn’t resist, it was £140 to £50, and then as a bonus some further haggling at the till got it to £42)

So why can’t I use it inside? Is it just some safety technicality, such as its not earthed appropriately, or its materials aren’t low smoke or similar?

B&Q had it set up ‘inside’ and the building is still standing…

I’ll open to the guesses then with…

It probably gets really hot

It only draws 15 watts at 3.2v, so shouldn’t be a heat issue…

Its fairly wobbly so maybe its because you can’t put the ground spikes into a carpet…

Its a tad larger than expected so maybe it will have to go outside…7ft tall but also about 7ft wide when opened up 😯

MTFU. Get that tree up in the front room, and be the envy of all your worthless neighbours! Pics please also.

A mere table decoration..

See thats the issue, in the front window isn’t too bad, but stuck out the front of the house is a bit embarrassing/showy offy 🙂 Especially as we are really exposed and it will probably end up next door and rip the power cable off…

I could make it ‘2d’ so it fits better by removing two branches but the disco style flasher box might not like it

I had the same message on a self inflating vango camping pillow…

No pics yet? This thread needs pics!!

he died as a result of not heeding the health and safety warning 🙁

Had you not already seen it ?

Anyway, if your tree doesn’t make just getting the room a bit of a hassle, then it not big enough.

Get it put up 😉

I saw it four weeks ago when it was an eye watering £140, never expected to buy it and also when the roof is 12 metres high it does put it out of perspective a little 🙂 The display model was up for £80 last week, this was boxed. Which is a shame as it just took me an hour and a half to stick all the petal things on!

Its not so bad now its shoved into the bay window, but the curtains won’t be closing anytime soon 🙂

OMG, you’ve installed it indoors! You’re all going to die!!!!!

Say Hi to Ronnie Biggs when you meet him this evening.

That is truly bizarre. 🙂

next time it’ll be a kids face. Heartless fool.
