Abstract

A frame for supporting lights above a surface includes a plurality of spaced apart spiral strips extending between a location above the surface and a location on the surface. The strips are adapted to receive the lights. A plurality of connectors interconnect ones of the plurality of strips at spaced apart intervals along the strips to form a unitary structure. The strips in an unassembled position are coplanar and in an assembled position extend between the location above the surface and the surface.
