Patent ID: 8721121

Claim:
An outdoor decorative display comprising a string including a plurality of electrical lights mounted on a cord, the string including a plurality of sockets regularly spaced between opposite ends of the cord to which the electrical lights are connected, all of the sockets being mutually electrically in parallel, adjacent sockets being equally spaced apart on the cord by a distance of at least three feet so that adjacent electrical lights can be irregularly spaced apart when mounted on an outdoor member with portions of the cord being slack between adjacent sockets so that adjacent electrical lights are irregularly spaced apart when mounted, wherein the individual lights are intermittently illuminatable for different durations so that the plurality of electrical lights when disposed in a three dimensional space, form random, illuminated, intermittent, time varying twinkling, irregular patterns of discrete light point sources formed by adjacent lights spaced apart sufficiently to eliminate the perception of an ordered array of lights, the relative spacing of at least three feet between adjacent lights and the random intermittent illumination of the lights eliminating any visual appearance of lights strung together in a line or in a regular geometrical pattern.
