A device for mounting ornamental electric light sockets, such as the type commonly used for Christmas decorations, has a flexible tape which is mounted to the structure to be illuminated. In one embodiment a plurality of extruded flanged ribs are spaced at equal intervals along one side of the tape. An elastic band stretched between adjacent ribs presses a light socket between the ribs and holds it substantially immovably in place. A second embodiment utilizing the ribbed tape has a strip having longitudinal slits disposed therein whose spacing is coordinated with that of the ribs, so that the ribs may be forced through the slits in the strip which then presses against a light socket between the ribs to hold it immovably in place. A third embodiment has a plurality of knobs having rounded heads spaced at equal intervals along one side of a tape, and a strip having holes therein whose spacing is coordinated with the spacing of the knobs, so that the knobs may be forced through the holes in the strip and thereby immovably secure a light socket between the knobs. A fourth embodiment is comprised of two pile type fastener strips, between which a light socket is placed, with the strips pressed together to interlock on either side of the light, thereby holding it in place. A fifth embodiment is comprised of a flexible base strip having pairs of apertures spaced at intervals along its length and an elastic strip laced through the aperture pairs to secure a light socket between the base strip and the elastic strip.
