As some people put it "a lossy extension cord". A cord with an additional parallel resistance that spawns more small light models along it the longer it gets. Parallel resistance would change as the set gets longer (increasing if in series, decreasing if in parallel, probably just 120V parallel like a C7 or C9 set). Series resistance would also be comparatively high (their main passthrough being to power more lights). Light would be produced based on block length (IE each blockspace would have a light source, but also a max brightness much less than a normal bulb IE less than 15). Clipping would be prevented unlike normal cords and more like regular wire, any space that does manage to clip simply will not produce light (can't spawn a light block in non-air).
