Assuming you are also trying to get what the lights are hung on, the
trick to this is double-exposure.  Mount the camera on a tripod and take
a picture of the object without light.  When it gets dark, take a
picture of the lights.  The trick is to get the two exposures right, and
it has been so long since I did it that I don't really recall.  You will
need to talk to somebody who has done it recently enough to suggest
correct exposures.
