String lights for use on G8 figures?

I've been introducing a friend to DAZ, and last night they asked me if there were any props or products that could be used to wrap an object or a figure (such as G8M/G8F) - wrap a box, wrap an arm, wrap a dog, wrap a lamp, wrap a person - and not just a product that has light props rigged to another prop (such as a tree).

Looking through the forums, I found this old thread (https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/297886/strings-of-christmas-lights), but I'm not sure that provides the answer to the question I was asked.

So, since I'd rather not necromance that thread, I thought I'd ask, and see if any new options have presented themselves in the time since it was created and today.

Anyone have any suggestions or solutions?

    I swear on the memory of Carl Sagan I specifically searched through the shop for just such an item before I made this post.

    Why I did not find it, I do not know.

    I'll check it out!

    Just a bit of heads up the wire on those lights is extremely thick and unnatural looking. You can kind of see this in the promos, but it is much more clear when you have a person in the scene. The wire might be as thick as their fingers! You may be able to reduce the thickness, I can't remember. On the positive side, the lights can all be independently rotated on the string after dforce simming, which is handy.

    Thanks outrider42, I'll make sure I bring that up as we're working on their idea. :)
