The present invention discloses a panel branch to be associated with an artificial tree. The panel branch includes a plurality of twigs, a channel element, an number of inserts, and a hook-like member. Each twig is inserted through an aperture in the insert and the insert, in turn, is placed in and secured in the channel element. The hook-like member has a short side and a long side. The long side of the hook-like member is secured in the channel element and the short side is used to secure the panel branch to an artificial trunk. In addition, optical fibres are associated with the twigs of the panel branch. Each optical fiber is threaded through one of the apertures in an insert and gathered into a bundle. When the panel branch is associated with the artificial tree, a socket with a light source is provided to receive the bundle of optical fibres such that the branch is lighted.
