Abstract
An overhead arcade-like light display is disclosed. The display comprises a canopy of an open framework with elongated linear raceways containing electrical wiring and supporting thousands of bulbs gathered in groups of four identified herein as pixels. Pixels are closely and regularly spaced. The raceways are linearly positioned running the length of said arcade and placed parallel to one another to position themselves to become the interior arcuate frame structure. Each pixel is covered with a light diffusing dome and the individual bulbs are of a different color so that colors, shades, tones and hues of a thousand varieties may be obtained from each domed pixel. A display having in excess of one million bulbs with minimal wind resistance is readily constructible.
