Permanent lighting comparison

Trimlight vs. JellyFish:
compare what lasts.

Both systems create permanent, app-controlled color. The better decision comes down to the exact product configuration, daytime appearance, installer, written warranty and local support proposed for your property.

Published product details

Compare the actual systems, not look-alike photos.

Permanent-lighting products can look similar in a nighttime image. The useful comparison is the exact model, bulb spacing, written parts coverage, local labor promise and who services the installation. These details come from the manufacturers and should be checked against your proposal.

Trimlight SoCal is an authorized local Trimlight dealer, not an independent test lab. A similar-looking light from an online marketplace is not evidence that it is the same product or has the same support.

Sources checked September 2026. Product offerings and warranty terms may change.

JellyFish Lighting

6, 9 or 16-inch spacing

JellyFish publishes these spacing options and describes a five-year parts warranty and one-year labor warranty for its Jelly Lights product. Confirm the current terms and the specific dealer’s service plan in writing.

A fair comparison

Ask both installers the same questions.

Permanent lighting is a high-consideration exterior improvement. Avoid choosing from a nighttime demo alone. Ask each company to show the proposed channel, spacing, controller, power design, warranty exclusions, local labor terms and finished daytime examples.

Trimlight SoCal recommends comparing written scopes property by property. Product specifications and dealer terms can change, so verify current documentation directly with each provider.

  • What exactly is covered, and for how long?
  • Who performs and supports the installation?
  • How visible is the channel from normal daytime angles?
  • What zones, schedules and smart controls are included?

Is this an independent product test?+

No. This page is published by Trimlight SoCal. It is designed to give buyers a transparent question set; verify current product and warranty documents with each manufacturer and dealer.

Which system is cheaper?+

Pricing depends on measured footage, roof complexity, product configuration and installation scope. Compare written property-specific quotes rather than advertised starting prices.

What should be in the proposal?+

The lighting run, product/spacing, channel color, zones, controller and power requirements, schedule, price, payment terms and current product/labor coverage.
