Abstract
A stretchable and shrinkable tree light string including a long trunk with many short pipes. The short pipes have one or many connecting rings. A base frame has a central axis to support the long trunk to stand up straight. Multiple branches connect at one end with a pin to the connecting ring on the short pipe. These branches use the connecting ring as a base pivot point. The branches being centered on the long trunk to be able to stretch out to form a tree shape, and also to be able to fold up to reduce the volume. Single or many sets of light strings, composed of many lamp bulbs, lamp holders, electrical conductors and receptacles, are to be fixed on the branches to establish tree light strings.
