Abstract

A Christmas tree ornamental lighting system is provided having a light strand combining primary lights and secondary lights, which illuminate in unison. A first illuminating component, represents a prearranged decorative pattern object and is coupled to a primary light and is illuminated, when the primary light is in a not illuminated state, and does not illuminate, when the primary light illuminates. A temperature switching function of the primary light is used to switch between the illuminate and non-illuminate states. A second illumination component, which also represents a prearranged pattern, is coupled to a secondary light and illuminates in synchronism with a respective secondary light. The lighting system achieves an enriched visual effect by taking advantage of the illuminate and non-illuminate states of the primary and secondary lights and first and second illuminating components, and various transitions between them.

Dependent claims

A Christmas tree ornamental lighting system, comprising:

a light strand, including:
at least one primary light, and at least one secondary light associated with said at least one primary light, said at least one primary light and said at least one secondary light having substantially synchronous illuminate states thereof and substantially synchronous non-illuminate states thereof,
said at least one primary light including a primary light bulb and a primary light socket on said light strand,
said at least one secondary light including a secondary light bulb and a secondary light socket on said light strand;
and
at least one first illumination component unit coupled to said at least one primary light, said at least one first illumination component unit being in an illuminate state thereof substantially in synchronism with said non-illuminate state of said at least one primary light, and further being in said non-illuminate state thereof substantially in synchronism with said illuminate state of said at least one primary light;
said at least one first illumination component unit comprising:
(a) a first illumination component,
(b) said primary light socket on said at least one first illumination component unit coupled in parallel to an input of said first illumination component, said primary light bulb being coupled to said primary light socket on said at least one first illumination component unit, and
(c) a first socket coupled to said primary light socket on said light strand.
