The light strip includes a plurality of the light emitting tubes, which are juxtaposed and connected to form the strip form. A plurality of optical fibers are disposed within each of the light emitting tubes, A plurality of light spot generating grooves are defined in a staggered arrangement on a circumferential surface of each of the optical fibers. Reflected stimulated light from the plurality of light spot generating grooves generates multiple point light spots that enable a surface of the strip to form a magnificently shining decorative lighting effect.
