Decorative lighting system

Abstract

A decorative lighting system which may be readily user-installed for surface-mounted display on a support structure includes a set of interconnectable modular component elements. The set of modular elements includes one or more pre-sized and formed light strip modules, and various other modules optionally employed as needed, including routing modules for effecting a multiple branching or angular change in course, and a power module for electrifying the lighting course. All modules are structurally suited for arrangement end-to-end, to create a continuous lightable track system which may be user-installed to follow a user determined lighting course, for example, in a manner accentuating architectural highlights. The light strip modules each includes a set electrically conductive pathways and a plurality of lights arranged along the length, variously connected in parallel across selected pairs of the set of conductive pathways. Connector modules electrically connect adjacently paired and abutted modules such that each of the electrical pathways form a contiguous and discrete electrical track. A simplified mounting feature is provided as well as optional module configurations suited to various structurally dictated routing applications. A module is also provided which permits facilitated alteration of length for user customization of a length of a linear track path.
