Abstract
The present disclosure is related to an indoor/outdoor light decoration asssembly operable by either AC or DC power source, including a number of light strings sealedly disposed in corresponding transparent tubular holders which are well guarded against rain or snow. The tubular holders are electrically associated in parallel; and a battery box having a pair of strings of female sockets connected to each other in parallel extended therefrom so that the male plugs disposed at the end of the light strings can be engaged therewith. The present article is provided with a pointed ground fixing member and a support base which is selectively engaged with the former so that the present light decoration assembly can also be placed in any indoor/outdoor places as desired. The tubular holders are detachably secured onto a number of corresponding fixing mounts which can also be used to support electrically operated candle stick and various forms of light conductive articles made of optical fibers or other light transmitting materials. The battery box provided with a number of selection buttons and an adapter jack is used as a power source whereby the present light strings can be selectively operated in a steady burning state or in a one way flash state, or can be controlled to switch on or off by CDS or manually, and be operated in AC or DC. Moreover, the transparent tubular holders are made to have a plurality of axially disposed ribs, extending the full length thereof so that light can be better transmitted through the transparent tubular holders.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
