ABSTRACT:
A variable-position decorative light mounting system for mounting the bulb and socket assemblies of a string of decorative lights at selective positions to achieve decorative effects. A base member provided in elongate strips or shorter rectangular sizes is configured to be secured to a supporting surface and has a flat surface with an outwardly projecting protuberance extending longitudinally along the flat surface with a contiguous reduced neck portion at the juncture of the protuberance with the flat surface. One or more bulb-holding clip members having a bottom portion with a cross sectional shape closely corresponding to the cross sectional shape of the protuberance are removably received and engaged on the protuberance by snap attachment. The bulb-holding clips have a contiguous upper portion with an aperture configured to removably receive and substantially encircle a portion of the bulb and socket assembly to releasably retain it on the clip. One or more wire-holding clip members may also be removably received and engaged on the protuberance by snap attachment to capture a portion of the electrical supply cord between the protuberance and an underside of the clip at selective longitudinally spaced locations such that remaining portions of the electrical supply cord along with a plurality of the decorative bulb and socket assemblies are suspended from the retained portions of the electrical supply cord to achieve decorative ornamental effects.
