Does anyone know of some strings of Christmas lights - perferably with the ability to morph them at least sectionally?

This set includes lights, that are easy pose. Not sure if that's what you are looking for..

Maybe Strings will do the trick.
This bundle is now only $10 and it includes the product mentioned by Serene Night:

I have the Yuletide Tree, and I've used it several times. There are other trees that come with lights, too. However, for all the trees I have in my runtime, the lights are static props modeled to fit the tree they come with and do not include any morphs. The lights that come with Strings include bones so one can pose the lights as needed.
I have to disagree. It is not really obvious but the Yuletide tree does come with a poseable string of lights, and a poseable garland. Unfortunately, whoever bundled the tree... In 2014, (?) Left the garland prop out of the Content view so it is not obvious. It is a shame to see that the product has been broken for years and no one has noticed! Since they are easy pose, they are easy to move around. I never felt Strings was particularly easy to use myself. These poseable units are difficult to spot from the static prop ones, but the Poseable lights are called Christmas lights.
Here are the lights from Yuletide IRAy-ized.
If you want the garland, it is in the same directory as the christmas lights. Right click to open the lights directory. Copy the location and open it up. Sadly the garland is transmapped and won't look nearly as good as the lights.
TY Serene, apparently I own that Yuletide tree and I never knew, mind you I actually have several strings of poseable lights too but two are Carrara files so no help, I rigged my own tinsel too.
Others no longer in the store
Well, I'll be damn3d. As many times as I've used that tree, often times loading the props on myself, I never realized those had morphs! And the garlands, too. Wow. Now I'm going to have to try them.
(I find most things with all those bones near impossible to pose, myself. I was going to add a snake to my jungle scene, but couldn't get the darn thing to move the way I wanted it to, so I put an orchid there instead!)
@Wendy_Carrara, the lights in your screenshot were a Christmas Freebie from Sickleyield my first Christmas with Daz. I never did figure out how to pose them… lol
The Christmas lights are easy pose so they come with a ton of morphs, however, if you want to move just a section with the morphs, you need to click on that section and everything folowing that part will move. The trick with easy pose is to make sure your lights are going the right way. It only moves one way, so if you have to turn it upside down, and everything following the area you select will move.
