  • Patent number: 6739745
    Abstract: Internally illuminated holiday garland are icicle lights used for holiday decorating on the exterior of a home. The internally illuminated holiday garland is similar to conventional icicle lights with the exception of a white garland covering that is provided over the center fiber optic strand. The internally illuminated holiday garland is applied to the building or home in the same manner as conventional icicle lights, and provides a unique look both at night and during the day as well. During the day, the white garland forms a unique trim item that mimics the general appearance of snow and helps to hide the wiring. At night, the garland provides a reflective material from which the light from the lamps will reflect to provide a shimmering effect. The use of the internally illuminated holiday garland allows for exterior holiday decorating in a manner, which is unique and eye catching both at night and during the day as well.
