The electric socket I and the electric plug II are supplied with the power together. The modularized artificial light tree has the advantages of convenience in use and maintenance and that the two adjacent simulative boles can be supplied with the power together and string lights can be conveniently replaced. | 03-24-2016 |
20160146410 | Tree Lighting System - A tree lighting system for quickly installing lights on a tree. The system includes a tree lighting assembly wherein the tree lighting assembly includes a tiered, cone-shaped net extending between a first ring and a second ring. The net supports a plurality of lights thereon, whereby the diameter of the second ring is larger than that of the first ring. This allows the tree lighting assembly to have a hollow interior volume when the net is expanded into its conical shape. The tree lighting assembly is placed over a tree, whereby the body of the tree is disposed within the interior volume of the tree lighting assembly. | 05-26-2016 |
