A simulated landscape rock having a hollow shell with an exterior surface that resembles a rock. One or more lighting cans are installed on an interior surface of the hollow shell. Where the simulated landscape rock is set-up by selectively drilling a hole through the exterior surface of the hollow shell in-line with one or more of the lighting cans. Each lighting can is configured to removably receive a light fixture with illumination from the light fixture directed through the hole drilled in the exterior surface.

The present disclosure discloses an apparatus for suspending decorative lights. The apparatus comprises an elongated tube structure that can be coupled to a window, door or other fixtures in a building with one or more removable pivoting connector mounts. The elongated tube structure comprises individual lights or a net of lights. The lights are coupled to the elongated tube structure via openings provided in the elongated tube structure. The elongated tube structure comprises a wire within the structure to draw power for lighting the lights.

Apparatus and associated methods relate to an expandable light string that can span various length dimensions. The expandable light string has a flexible backbone cable, a plurality of lighting elements and single expandable member. The flexible backbone cable has a plurality of conductive wires extending and providing electrical conduction along a length between a first end and a second end of the flexible backbone cable. Each of the plurality of lighting elements is conductively coupled to at least two of the plurality of conductive wires of the flexible backbone cable so as to illuminate in response to receiving electrical operating power therefrom. The single expandable member is coupled at a plurality of coupling locations to the flexible backbone cable along the length thereof. The single expandable member is configured to expand or contract so as to change a length dimension of the expandable light string.

A decorative removable lighting enclosed clip made for mounting a light to a support surface such as gutters, shingles or a building structure. The enclosed clip allows for an aesthetically pleasing display of lights with rapid and easy installation and removal of the lighting. This eliminates falling debris from broken clips or clips that fall off the lights during the removal process. A support tab is inserted between the side portions of the structure, at longitudinally spaced intervals along the strip, and are frictionally gripped and retained by the facing side portions of the gutter, shingle or structure. The clips have enclosed end portions which support the light elements of a decorative light string along structure. The enclosed clip is capable of mounting onto a wide variety of gutters, eaves and building structures. The spacing is adjustable and provides a plurality of discrete angular positions.

A roofing edge hanger for decorative lights is provided. The roofing edge hanger includes a substantially planar body adapted to lie flat against a roof, a support arm lying on a first plane that intersects a second plane at an angle, wherein the second plane is parallel to the body, wherein the support arm divides the body into a roof portion and a hook portion, wherein the support arm is attached to the body; and a plurality of hooks extending from the hook portion of the body, wherein the hooks are formed from a plurality of perforations of the body. The hanger is held in place between a roof and the shingles of the roof and provides a mounting surface and hooks for hanging up or mounting objects.

A staple device with an extension rod allows an installer to use the device to hold and pull tension on a string of wired lights and secure them to a surface, such as the underside of eaves or soffits on a dwelling. The activation of the stapling device is achieved by a pushing motion against the surface to be stapled to rather than the squeezing motion of current stapling devices. The staple device also provides greater mobility to the installer as opposed to the current method of positioning and repositioning a ladder around the base of the dwelling. The present invention allows the installer to quickly traverse the base of the dwelling and install the holiday lights in a more efficient manner than with the use of a ladder and squeeze-type staple staplers.

This disclosure relates to a louvered patio cover. The louvered patio cover may comprise a frame with support beams, louvered panels, support beam couplers, an actuator, a gutter, and/or other components. The support beams may have angled ends. The louvered panels may be rotatably coupled to the support beams. A support beam coupler may comprise first and second receivers. The first receiver may be configured to receive an angled end of a first support beam, and the second receiver may be configured to receive an angled end of a second support beam. The angled ends of the first and second support beams may face, meet, and/or abut each other when received by the first and second receivers. The actuator may be configured to rotate the louvered panels. A gutter may comprise a lighting channel configured to hold a light source for lighting an area under the louvered patio cover.

A device and method for the attachment of lighting to the ridgeline of a roof. The device includes a body configured to include a plurality of legs that are designed to flex outward and inward. The legs include one or more projection members along an inner surface. The projection member are configured to translate along the surface of a roof member and grip around opposing edges in order to locate and secure the device. The device further includes a top portion in communication with the body to locate and secure any of lighting strands, bulb sockets, and other items in relation to the roof member.

Methods and systems for displaying customized decorative lighting onto a structure. An image of an area of a structure such as a house building can be captured with an image-capturing device. The image of the area of the building is graphically modified to include decorative features added to the building image via image processing. A slide can be generated, which includes the modified image of the building with the added customized decorative features. The slide is receivable by a slot configured in a decorative lighting apparatus, which includes or functions as a projector for projecting the modified image with the decorative images onto the actual building.
