ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a device that is adapted to be received over individual lighting elements of an ornamental light string. The preferred form of the device is a body of primarily unitary construction and having an open end and a closed end. The lighting element is received through the open end and into the body of the device. The diameter of the open end is adapted to snugly fit around the outer diameter of the light element for frictive adhesion. The device of the present invention is adapted to substantially block any light emitted from the lighting element such that remote viewers are unable to detect them. In alternate embodiments, the device of the present invention is modified to allow a reduced amount of luminosity to escape thereby rendering the covered lighting element dimmer than an uncovered element. Additionally, the present invention may be included with traditional ornamental lighting strings in a kit form.
