  • Patent number: 7819553
    Abstract: The modular light strand kit has decorative light strand segments having a plurality of predetermined lengths to achieve a customized length for a desired application. Lighted strand segments have varying lengths and number of lights per strand segment. Strand length is customized by plugging individual strand segments together. Segments are mixed and matched to obtain a customized number of lights. Each strand segment has a male locking waterproof plug on one end and, at the other end, a female locking waterproof receptacle in the same covering that houses the last light on the strand. Lightless wire segments having different predetermined lengths are included and have the same male locking waterproof plug on one end and a straight locking waterproof female plug on the other end. The lightless segments function as spacers where lights are not desired. A common mains adapter plug provides power to all strands in use.
