Bear in mind when comparing US and UK prices that you may have to pay
VAT on entry to the UK. (I don't know whether VAT is payable on this
class of goods or not.)

Watch the frequency that it operates on. The US version may well use a
different one to the UK one and if so will almost certainly be
"illegal" to use in the UK. You *may* get away with it or you could
find that the some local Tx is on the same or similar frequency that
stops in dead. Not to mention a visit from the RA and confiscation of
the kit...


According to this link:

http://bellclocks.com/WS2510.html

the Tx frequency is 433.92 MHz.
