A lighting apparatus can include a first component wire, a second component wire, a return wire, and a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs). A first respective end of the first component wire and the second component wire are electrically connected. The first component wire and the second component each include a plurality of breaks, dividing each one of the component wires into individual segments. A second respective end of the first component wire, the second component wire, and the return wire are electrically interconnected. The plurality of diodes may be connected to the first component wire and the second component wire at periodic distances. An at least partially translucent insulating thermoset polymer is provided as a coating over the plurality of LEDs. An opaque insulating material covers the first component wire, the second component wire, and the return wire, except those portions including an LED.

A power transfer system to facilitate the transfer of electrical power between tree trunk sections of an artificial tree is disclosed. The power transfer system can advantageously enable neighboring tree trunk sections to be electrically connected without the need to rotationally align the tree trunk sections. Power distribution subsystems can be disposed within the trunk sections. The power distribution subsystems can comprise a male end, a female end, or both. The male ends can have prongs and the female ends can have voids. The prongs can be inserted into the voids to electrically connect the power distribution subsystems of neighboring tree trunk sections. In some embodiments, the prongs and voids are designed so that the prongs of one power distribution subsystem can engage the voids of another power distribution subsystem without the need to rotationally align the tree trunk sections.

Powered tree construction with rotation limiting

An artificial tree comprising a first trunk section and a second trunk section. The second trunk section can be configured to receive a portion of the first trunk section and can include a sleeve disposed proximate an end of the second trunk section. The sleeve can include a lower lip having an angled portion that can interact with a rolling protrusion disposed on the first trunk section. The rolling protrusion can rotate upon interaction with the angled portion of the lower lip to guide and assist the second trunk section to receive a portion of the first trunk section.

Connector systems and methods thereto

A decorative lighting system including a sensor device; a wiring harness comprising an insulated conductor and a plurality of lighting elements; a controller in communication with the wiring harness and the sensor device, the controller comprising a processor, a memory, and a wireless communication module; and wherein the controller is configured to control the plurality of lighting elements based at least in part on information received from the sensor device.

The present disclosure provides a water-resistant decorative lighting system having a plurality of lamp assemblies and a wiring harness having two or more insulating conductors and configured to electrically connect the plurality of lamp assemblies. Each lamp assembly of the plurality of lamp assemblies includes a lamp holder, a light source, a waterproofing device, and an outer bulb. The lamp holder comprises a hinged portion connected between a first and second side portions. The lamp holder is configured to move about the hinged portion from an open position to a closed position. Each side portion includes a locking mechanism. The light is configured to fit within the lamp holder when the lamp holder is in the closed position. The outer bulb is detachably attachable to the lamp holder.

Systems and methods for water resistant decorative light strings

Certain embodiments of the disclosed technology include a decorative lighting system that can be integrated with an artificial tree. The decorative lighting system may include a white light emitting diode (LED) light string and a variable-color LED light string. The variable-color LED light string may employ LED lamps having embedded Red, Green, and Blue (RGB) LEDs. The RGB LED lamps may include an embedded integrated circuit (IC) configured to communicate with and control the energizing of each of the corresponding RGB LEDs to create a multitude of colors and color combinations that can vary with time to create a light show. An electronic controller in communication with the LED lamps may allow a user to select the mode for the light show and further may provide a periodic reset signal to restart or re-synchronize the light show.

Disclosed is a container, such as an above-ground pool, with an improved porthole. The container can include a base, a side wall joined to the base, and at least one porthole. The porthole can comprise an aperture in the side wall and a generally transparent window sheet attached to the side wall and completely covering the aperture in the side wall. Such a design can be stronger and more durable than conventional portholes. The pool can also have portability and storability characteristics that are superior to those of conventional pools.

Systems and methods for a container with portholes

A connection system to facilitate the mechanical coupling, and the transfer of electrical power between, trunk sections of an artificial tree is disclosed. The connection system can include a mechanical coupling system having a guiding surface and a guiding slot on a first trunk section and a guiding protrusion disposed inside a second trunk section. Insertion of the first trunk section into the second trunk section and thus contact of the guiding protrusion against the guiding surface can cause the first trunk section to rotate relative the second trunk section until a predetermined rotational alignment is reached, aligning electrical contacts of first and second electrical connectors, each of which is attached to an outer wall of a respective trunk section. The electrical contacts of the first and second electrical connectors can establish electrical communication between the first and second electrical connectors, and thus between the first and second trunk sections.
