ABSTRACT:
A cover is attached to a housing, and a hollow shaft extends from a motor in the housing to a rotatable disk within the cover. Several optical fibers extend between the disk and a light source in the housing. The forward ends of the fibers are attached around the circumference of the disk, and the fibers pass through the shaft. The fibers exit the shaft and turn forward toward the light source. A shaft extension disk positions the rearward ends of the fibers radially outward from the shaft. A light filter, having sectors of various colors, is located between the optical fibers and the light source. Ornaments are suspended from the disk, and cover the forward ends of the fibers when the ornaments are near the top of the disk, and reveal the ends of the fibers when the ornaments are near the bottom of the disk.
