Bei derartigen Weihnachtsbaum-, Dekorations-, und Kunstwerkbeleuch tungen ist eine Stromversorgung mit ausreichender Leistung erfor derlich, um eine gewünschte Lichtstärke von den am häufigsten verwendeten elektrischen Glühfadenlämpchen zu erreichen. Die Glühfadenlämpchen werden mittels elektrischer Leiter bzw. Kabel entweder an die Steckdose mit voller Netzspannung, oder an eine niedrige Spannung über einen Trafo, selten an einen Akkumulator oder eine Batterie angeschlossen.With such Christmas tree, decorative, and artwork lighting a power supply with sufficient power is required necessary to get a desired light intensity from the most common to achieve used electric filament lamps. The Filament lamps are made using electrical conductors or cables either to the socket with full mains voltage, or to one low voltage across a transformer, rarely on an accumulator or a battery connected.
Bei herkömmlichen Weihnachtsbaum- und Dekorationsbeleuchtungen ist es erforderlich, daß alle Glühfadenlämpchen mittels elektrischer Leiter verbunden werden, welche weiter mit Hilfe eines Doppeldrahtes bzw.
