1. A light assembly comprising:
- a substantially planar frame having a plurality of spokes oriented radially about a central hub, and having a plurality of branches on each of the plurality of spokes, the branches being oriented at an acute angle with respect to the respective spokes, each of the spokes and branches having a front face with a pair of laterally spaced guide channels thereon projecting forwardly; and
a string of light units having a cord held in said guide channels so that each branch has a light unit adjacent its outer end which is fixed relative to the frame by said cord.

10. A one-piece frame for a light display unit comprising:
-
a hub, spokes radiating integrally from said hub, lateral branches and a tip branch extending respectively from opposite longitudinal edges of each spoke and from the outer end of each spoke, each of said branches having a pair of channels adjacent opposite side edges thereof, and each of said spokes having inner channels therealong between the root ends of said branches, said hub, spokes, and branches having a back side and a front side, channels adjacent the root ends of said spokes, said channels projecting from said front side in a forward direction, and being shaped to hold and guide insulated wires extending between lights located at each branch and also located between said branches adjacent said hub. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
