Ornamental lighting

A decorative lighting apparatus comprising:

• an elongate spine having an upper end and a lower end, said spine including upper and lower elongate sections, said upper an lower sections connected by a flexible connector, each of said upper and lower sections fabricated from plastic coated wire to allow for selective omni-directional bending of said sections, said flexible connector allowing deployment of said apparatus from a compact, inoperative storage configuration wherein said upper and lower spine sections are folded in parallel relation about said flexible connector, to an operative configuration wherein said upper and lower spine sections form a generally continuous elongate spine;
• a plurality of arms, each having a first end connected to said spine and a free end, said arms longitudinally spaced along said spine and projecting from opposing sides thereof, each of said arms fabricated from plastic coated wire to allow for selective omni-directional bending of said arms;
• each of said arms having a plurality of electric lamps spaced along the length thereof and electrical conductors connected to said lamps for supplying electric power to said electric lamps;
• said electrical conductors connected to a male connector disposed proximal lower end and a female connector disposed proximal said lower end, said female connector including a plurality of electrical outlets for receiving a corresponding plurality of male electrical connectors.
