Start with the basics

What exactly is permanent outdoor lighting?

Trimlight is an exterior LED lighting system installed in a low-profile channel along selected roofline, fascia or architectural areas. It stays installed year-round and is controlled through an app for color, brightness, patterns, zones and schedules.

Are the lights visible during the day?+

The color-coordinated channel is designed for a discreet appearance. Visibility varies by trim color, architecture, placement and viewing angle.

How many colors and patterns are available?+

The app supports a broad range of colors, animated patterns, schedules and custom combinations. Available features depend on the selected controller and product.

How much does Trimlight cost?+

Price depends on measured footage, architecture, access, spacing, controller/power requirements and scope. A free design visit produces the written price.

How long does installation take?+

Timing depends on the project. Many residential projects may be completed quickly, but your proposal includes the schedule that applies to your property.

Can I control the system away from home?+

Compatible Trimlight Edge configurations support cloud-connected control. We confirm the selected controller and network requirements in your proposal.

Does it work with Alexa or Google Home?+

Compatible controller configurations support Alexa and Google Home functions. Feature availability is confirmed during design.

Is it suitable for coastal weather?+

Product components are designed for outdoor use, but installation details, exposure and maintenance still matter. We review the property and current product rating before installation.

What does the warranty include?+

Eligible components may carry manufacturer coverage up to their estimated lifespan/50,000 rated hours, subject to registration, use, exclusions and the current written terms. Local labor terms are separate.

Can you help with HOA questions?+

We can provide product and installation information for an HOA review. Approval decisions remain with the association and should be obtained before installation when required.

Do you offer financing?+

Ask about current programs after you receive the property-specific quote. Financing is subject to approval and lender terms.
