I am always surprised when I see old style 240V mains tree lights on Christmas trees in schools and nurseries. Safer low voltage ones are so cheap now why take the risk? If you have the old 240v lights - the ones that don't have a transformer - if you break a bulb and touch the filament you could get a full 240v mains electric shock.
