LED light holder system

A light holding system for use in an RV having panels, said panels abutting a joist having a width and a retaining strip being fastened to said joist between said panels, said retaining strip having upstanding walls extending from a base, said upstanding walls defining a groove and said groove including retention nubs within said groove, said light holding system comprising:

• an elongate light holder having wings defining an outer contoured surface and said wings having tips, a channel extending beneath said outer contoured surface, said channel including overhanging walls adjacent to said outer contoured surface, said channel having lateral walls defining an internal width of said channel, said overhanging walls extending toward each other and being narrower than internal width of said channel, said lateral walls joined to a bottom wall, said channel including an opening adjacent to said outer contoured surface, a ridge wall extending from a bottom surface of said bottom wall opposite said channel and said ridge wall including a retention barb being spaced from said bottom surface, a portion of said retention barb being wider than said ridge wall, said wings being resiliently bendable between an uninstalled position and an installed position, said uninstalled position locating said tips of said wings at a first distance from said opening and said installed position locating said tips of said wings at a second distance from said opening and said second distance being nearer than said first distance with respect to said opening, when said wings are in said installed position said wings being biased away from said opening and toward said uninstalled position;
• and
• an end cap having an outer shell and said end cap having a coped portion, said coped portion having a complementary fit with said outer contoured surface when said elongate light holder is inserted into said coped portion.

A light holding system for use between adjacent panels, said panels abutting a joist having a width and a retaining strip being fastened to said joist between said panels, said retaining strip having upstanding walls extending from a base, said upstanding walls defining a groove and said groove including retention nubs within said groove, said light holding system comprising:

• an elongate light holder having wings defining an outer contoured surface and said wings having tips, a channel extending beneath said outer contoured surface and said channel having lateral walls defining an internal width of said channel, said lateral walls joined to a bottom wall, said channel including an opening adjacent to said outer contoured surface, a ridge wall extending from a bottom surface of said bottom wall opposite said channel and said ridge wall including a retention barb being spaced from said bottom surface, a portion of said retention barb being wider than said ridge wall, said wings being resiliently bendable between an uninstalled position and an installed position, said uninstalled position locating said tips of said wings at a first distance from said opening and said installed position locating said tips of said wings at a second distance from said opening and said second distance being nearer than said first distance with respect to said opening, when said wings are in said installed position said wings being biased away from said opening and toward said uninstalled position;
• and
• an end cap having an outer shell and said end cap having a coped portion, said coped portion having a complementary fit with said outer contoured surface when said elongate light holder is inserted into said coped portion.
