They WERE plastic-handledBut there was no sparking or anything on the metal bits, so we just assume the lights were very well idiot-proofed.
When my dad stuck his mains tester right into my living room lights, there were sparks everywhere, the plastic handle got all sooty and a bit of metal melted.

You are lucky but as they were plastic handledand you had to cut through the shielding before you touched the metal the circuit was broken on the first cut so sparks were unlikely :)
