Start with the Generic Model Template

Create>>Sweep

Create a semi circle for the path. Create a long skinny rectangle for the profile when prompted. 

Once you get this solid, rotate it to an angle in the front view. Then mirror it in a side / front view. You should have a spiral.

Change the category to Lighting Fixtures

Please see attached.

Can you move it?  If it is not hosted by the wall you can move it anywhere you want.

Not that it really matters since the OP got what they needed, but just for informational purposes, you can make a spiral form without the conceptual mass editor.

 

You can create a swept blend using a 180 deg arc and 2 profiles offset in the Y axis. Then stack these up. Not all that different from the one done with the conceptual masses but just wanted to point out an alternative that might be slightly easier to accomplish.

Thanks a lot, Jeff Hanson. I tried your method. it worked very well. And the good thing to use your method is I can control the thickness of the light . 

 

Thank you soooo much.

Sorry for the late reply.

 

 I tried your method. It worked very well . And in Revit 3D View I can see the amazing light fixture. But somehow when I export my revit to Lumion, It only shows half of the light. ... I tried several times and I could not figure out why that happened. .. Anyway, if I only need to use the light fixture in Revit, it's good. Thanks a lot.
