[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Most of the early decorative lighting devices are
By arranging a plurality of bulbs on the strip conductor at an interval and connecting one end of the conductor to a power source, the entire series lamp is energized and turned on or turned on to form a decorative effect. However, such a conventional series lamp has a monotonous lighting effect due to the light emission of the linearly arranged bulbs, and is troublesome and inconvenient when it is wound around a Christmas tree or the like at the time of use or is collected after use. .

[0003] For this reason, there have recently been various different forms of net light designs, in which the entire lighting device is made into a net shape, and all bulbs and conductors integrally cover a decoration point (for example, a Christmas tree). In addition to being agile, it was relatively convenient for removal and storage when not in use. Such net lights are disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,213,509 to Dorfman, U.S. Patent No. 5,424,925 to Jenke, and U.S. Patent No. 5,662, issued to the inventor. No. 409. Among them, Dorfman discloses a valve seat (r) in which a net wire (that is, a conductor) is crossed up and down.
In this case, the valve seat is complicated in order to pass through the valve seat. In the case of Jenke, a net wire is crossed to pass an extra connector part. In US Pat. No. 5,662,409, a conductor is positioned by a fastener on a valve seat at a cross point of a net line, and then pulled to form a net.

[0004] In recent years, some of such net lights have a function other than a function that is convenient for hanging on a decoration point. That is, the entire net light is formed by a system in which a plurality of serial lamps are knitted one by one, and is a product having a special decoration function. The plurality of serial lamps individually organized in this way are connected inside one control box, and the flickering and fluttering of the individual serial lamps are controlled by the IC. As a result, the knitting lamp as a whole forms a variety of different, static or dynamic lighting or striking patterns, the effects of which are laid more diversified, and has a suction force.

[0005] Separately, there is also an icicle-shaped light, which is provided with a single horizontal lead above which is positioned at the upper edge of the window, and which is spaced apart from the horizontal lead by a plurality of drooping series of different lengths. Lamps are installed, and when these series of lamps of different lengths are energized and turned on, they exhibit a form like ice strips that crawl on the window glass when snow falls.

However, various types of net lights or icicle lights are currently manufactured as individual products. That is, in the factory, the net light and the icicle light are manufactured on different production lines.

[0007]
