I'll have to wait and see the episode. We had electric lights on our Christmas trees in the 1940s. I remember fondly the ones shaped like candles with fluid in the base and a glass rod in the top cylinder. The heat of the bulbs would cause the fluid to boil, creating a bubble effect.
All of our lights were incandescent. If the description of these, "mini-lights", meets the modern usage as LEDs, that would be a serious anachronism.

Not the best editing nor the best lines, but Maggie Smith's Dowager is absolutely the most delicious character to grace the airwaves in a very, very long time. Long live Maggie Smith the Queen of Attitude.
