## Abstract

Some embodiments of the disclosure relate to the technical field of lights and disclose an LED string light with a branch-trunk structure, including a power supply assembly and multiple wire groups. A light source assembly is arranged between every two wire groups, and an end of the first wire group is electrically connected to the power supply assembly; every two wire groups are at least partially bent and combined to form a branch-trunk structure used for supporting the light source assembly. The disclosure may have the following advantages: 1, the string light in this technical solution is small in overall size, low in weight, easier to install and low in installation difficulty; 2, the light is mainly formed by columnar transparent light beads, such that the internal structure of the light is effectively simplified, and the use cost of the string light is reduced.
