Disclosed is an artificial tree having a plurality of electrified tree sections that couple together to provide power and/or command signals to devices connected thereto. One or more tree sections may have a trunk portion, one or more electrical connectors having a plurality of terminals, branches, a light string, and an electrical distribution system located at least partially within the trunk portion. A first tree section may be configured to couple to a second tree section such that an electrical connector of the first tree section is in electrical connection with an electrical connector of the second tree section, thereby mechanically and electrically connecting the first tree section to the second tree section such that power and/or the control data are transmitted to the second tree section. Each trunk segment may include an axial electrical connector that permits adjacent trunk segments to connect in a plurality of radial orientations.

A lighted artificial tree includes a first tree portion including a first trunk portion, first branches joined to the first trunk portion, and a first light string. The first trunk portion has a trunk connector and a first trunk wiring assembly, the first trunk wiring assembly is electrically connectable to the first light string and the trunk connector, and at least a portion of the first wiring assembly is located inside the first portion. The second tree portion includes a second trunk portion, second branches, and a second light string. The second trunk portion has a trunk connector and a second trunk wiring assembly, the second trunk wiring assembly electrically connectable to the second lighting string and the trunk connector. The second tree portion may be mechanically coupled and electrically connected to the first tree portion by coaxially coupling the first trunk portion to the second trunk portion.

Disclosed is a customizable decorative tree, a customizable decorative tree is provided, which includes a trunk, a base, and a top section. The trunk is formed from a plurality of individual tree sections that are designed for selective sectional assembly and disassembly. Adjacent tree sections are connected using a shared mechanical connector and a corresponding electrical connector. This integrated system facilitates both robust structural connection and the simultaneous transmission of electrical power through the assembled trunk and base. The tree sections may have varying heights and diameters, allowing a user to customize the trunk to achieve a natural appearance or a unique style. By integrating the electrical power transmission within the structure of the trunk, the design eliminates the need for external wiring, thereby enhancing safety and aesthetics.

Translucent artificial foliage and methods of manufacturing the same. Exemplary translucent artificial foliage includes an artificial foliage material. An exemplary translucent artificial foliage material includes a polymer, an anti-UV additive component, and a phosphorus fire-retardant additive component. Exemplary translucent artificial foliage includes lighting elements internal to the artificial foliage material. An exemplary method of manufacturing the artificial foliage material includes mixing a translucent artificial foliage material by combining a polymer with an anti-UV additive component and a phosphorus fire-retardant additive. The exemplary method includes inserting a wire into a mold, heating the translucent artificial foliage material, adding the translucent artificial foliage material to the mold, and cooling the mold.

A lighted artificial tree includes a first tree portion including a first trunk portion, first branches joined to the first trunk portion, and a first light string. The first trunk portion has a trunk connector and a first trunk wiring assembly, the first trunk wiring assembly is electrically connectable to the first light string and the trunk connector, and at least a portion of the first wiring assembly is located inside the first portion. The second tree portion includes a second trunk portion, second branches, and a second light string. The second trunk portion has a trunk connector and a second trunk wiring assembly, the second trunk wiring assembly electrically connectable to the second lighting string and the trunk connector. The second tree portion may be mechanically coupled and electrically connected to the first tree portion by coaxially coupling the first trunk portion to the second trunk portion.

Artificial flowers and bunches of flowers that have self-glowing properties include a flower portion and optionally one or more stems and leaves. At least the flower portion includes a self-glowing material, which includes phosphorescent compounds, such as strontium aluminate or zinc sulfide, optionally doped with rare earth elements to enhance glow intensity and duration. The luminescent material may be embedded within the base structure or applied as a surface coating or both, and is bound using a suitable medium such as acrylic or epoxy resin. Optional integration of conventional lighting elements, such as LEDs, is also contemplated
