Abstract

The Light strands include at least two light strands connected in series. Each light strand includes a plurality of LED (Light Emitting Diode) lights connected in series, a plurality of two-hole light sockets and a pair of three-hole light sockets being configured for respectively accommodating the plurality of LED lights, a plug electrically connected to the pair of three-hole light sockets via electrical wires; a plug receptacle electrically connected to the pair of three-hole light sockets via electrical wires; and a current limiting device connected in series to the plurality of LED lights. The plurality of two-hole light sockets is disposed between the pair of three-hole light sockets and the plurality of two-hole light sockets and the pair of three-hole light sockets are connected in series. The current limiting device switches off the light strand due to over current.
