1. A collapsible lamp harp, comprising:
a first leg; and
a second leg connected to the first leg via a swivel pin, thereby allowing the legs to move between an extended and a collapsed position, wherein the first leg comprises a first groove to receive a first catch formed on the second leg.

a first leg; and
a second leg connected to the first leg via a snap connection, thereby allowing the legs to move between an extended and a collapsed position.
8. The lamp harp of claim 7 further comprising a stop.
9. A collapsible lamp harp, comprising:
a first leg; and
a second leg connected to the first leg via a screw, thereby allowing the legs to move between an extended and a collapsed position, further comprising a pin and notch for cooperating to prevent pivotal motion between the first and second legs when the screw is tightened.
10. A collapsible lamp harp, comprising:
a first leg; and
