Abstract

A hanging ornament having a central core and a plurality of radiating spires. Each spire is solid and allows light to pass. Within each spire is wiring and a string of small lights. An electrical cord having a plug suitable for connection to local electrical outlets leads to wiring within the core, which in turn provides electricity to a plurality of sockets. Each socket connects one spire to the core and further connects the core wiring to the spire wiring. Each spire may be removed individually and replaced should the lights within malfunction or the spire become broken. This also aids space saving storage of the invention. In embodiments, the lights of the spire may be mini lights, sub-miniature lights, light emitting diodes, high intensity light emitting diodes or combinations thereof. In other embodiments, the light passing spires may be textured, transparent, translucent, clear or colored, and in yet other embodiments, removable sheaths may be employed on the spires to provide color and/or to the light emitted by the spires. Various other embodiments are detailed in the body of the present document.
