Apparatus for hanging rope lights from a gutter

A light holder for hanging rope lights on a gutter the gutter of the type having a bottom, a front wall and a rear wall spaced apart from one another and extending from the bottom, and a lip extending from an upper edge of the front wall toward the rear wall the front wall having a flat portion extending from the lip toward the bottom and an inwardly curving section adjacent the flat portion opposite the lip and a shoulder adjacent a line where the front wall meets the bottom, the light holder comprising:

• an elongated body having a first end, a second end and a curved portion between the front end, the curved portion defining a first space sized to receive a first rope light;
• a spiral portion attached to the first end, the spiral sized to fit over the lip of the gutter;
• and
• a hook attached to the second end of the body, the hook defining a second space sized to receive a second rope light;
• wherein the elongated body and hook are sized and configured so that when the spiral is over the lip of the gutter, the curved portion is adjacent the inwardly curving section of the gutter, and the hook is adjacent the shoulder of the gutter.

• front wall and together with the inwardly curving section define a space of sufficient size to receive a rope light;
• ii. the second curved section of the body is adjacent the shoulder of the gutter and together with the shoulder to define a second space of sufficient size to hold a rope light;
• and
• iii. the hook is under the bottom of the gutter.

A light holder for hanging rope lights on a gutter, the gutter of the type having a bottom, a front wall and a rear wall spaced apart from one another and extending from the bottom, and a lip extending from an upper edge of the top wall toward the rear wall, the front wall having an inwardly curving section adjacent an intersection of the front wall and the bottom, the light holder comprising:

• an elongated body having a first end and a second end;
• a spiral portion at the first end, the spiral sized to fit over the lip of the gutter;
• and
• a hook at the second end, the hook defining a space of sufficient size to receive a rope light;
• wherein the elongated body and the hook are sized and configured so that when the spiral portion is over the lip of the gutter, the hook will be adjacent the inwardly curving section of the front wall of the gutter and the space defined by the hook will be between the hook and the inwardly curving section.
