1. A freestanding, integrally formed LED light wire, comprising a plurality of LED modules, each LED module comprising:

  • one or more LEDs;

    a microcontroller; and

    one or more ports, said microcontroller being configured to;

    check a status of at least one of said one or more ports;

    if the status of the port corresponds to a predetermined state;

    assign the LED module to which said microcontroller belongs to a first display address, andsend signals to said microcontroller of a neighboring LED module, said signals assigning respective further display address to the neighboring LED module;

    a printed circuit board, wherein the one of more LEDs and the microcontroller are mounted on the printed circuit board; and

    a continuous unitary encapsulant completely and continuously encapsulating said plurality of LED modules, including said respective microcontrollers and said one or more ports.
