Trimlight can display up to 30 different colors simultaneously. Each pattern supports a maximum of 90 lights per color, giving you virtually unlimited creative combinations for holidays, game days, birthdays, or everyday ambiance.
Yes. Long-press any color circle in the Trimlight Edge app to open a full spectrum slider. You can also enter specific RGB values for exact color matching — perfect for matching school colors, sports teams, or company branding.
Yes. Warm white is available as a preset on the custom color palette. You can also blend your own shade of white — from cool daylight to soft amber — using the RGB sliders.
Trimlight's patented low-profile aluminum channel is designed to match your roofline color, blending in seamlessly during daylight hours. Most visitors won't even notice the system is there until you turn it on. We carry over 50 channel color options to match virtually any home exterior.
Trimlight is extremely energy-efficient. The 3L model uses just 0.9 watts per bulb, and the Classic model uses 0.6 watts per bulb. A typical home installation costs only a few dollars per month in electricity — even with nightly use.
Absolutely. Trimlight bulbs protrude 3/8 inch below the channel, providing excellent visibility from the street and neighboring yards. Unlike flat puck or rectangle-style lights, Trimlight's bulb design ensures vivid color from multiple viewing angles.
With holiday-only use, Trimlight can last 30-40 years. With typical everyday use, expect 20-30 years. Even with heavy continuous use (12-16 hours daily), the system lasts 7-8 years. This is a permanent, long-term investment in your home.
Trimlight backs every system with a lifetime product warranty. This covers all system components for their expected lifespan — up to 40 years with proper use. Individual bulbs are rated for 50,000+ hours. If a component fails under normal use, Trimlight HQ supplies the replacement part at no cost. Your local dealer (that's us) handles the service call.
Just give us a call. We handle all service and repairs for systems we install in the Lehigh Valley. Defective bulbs are covered under the lifetime product warranty. We carry a minimum 1-year labor warranty on all installations, and most repairs are quick, same-day fixes.
Not necessarily. If a single RGB component fails, only that bulb is affected. If a data wire fault occurs, it may affect lights downstream in the run — but both issues are easily repaired by our technicians. We carry replacement parts locally for fast turnaround.
Trimlight was founded in 2010 as the first permanent, programmable, color-changing holiday lighting company. What sets it apart: a true lifetime product warranty (not just 2-3 years like competitors), over 50 channel colors, a powerful smartphone app, and a patented low-profile channel design. Other systems may look similar, but none match the warranty, longevity, or track record.
No. Trimlight's residential LEDs have no lens covering, face downward, and are shielded by the aluminum channel. They resist fading and discoloration even after years of sun exposure.
Most Lehigh Valley homes are completed in a single day. Larger properties or complex rooflines may require an additional day. We'll give you a clear timeline during your free estimate.
The controller is typically mounted on an interior wall inside your garage or under a covered area like a carport. It plugs into a standard household outlet — no special wiring needed.
Yes. Every installation is tailored to your home's unique roofline and architectural features. We measure, cut, and install the channel to fit precisely — nothing generic or one-size-fits-all.
No. The Trimlight channel mounts beneath your soffit, completely independent of your gutter system. Your gutters, drip edges, and drainage remain untouched throughout installation.
While some dealers offer DIY kits, self-installation voids the lifetime product warranty. We strongly recommend professional installation to ensure proper fit, waterproofing, and full warranty coverage. Our factory-trained team handles everything.
In our experience, HOAs approve Trimlight after seeing that the system is virtually invisible during the day, fully programmable (so lights aren't left in "holiday mode" year-round), and professionally installed. We can provide materials to help with your HOA submission.
Over 50 standard channel colors are available to match virtually any home exterior. If you have an unusual trim color, custom color-matching is also an option. The standard residential channel measures 1.3" deep by 1.85" high.
Yes. The Trimlight Edge app gives you full control from your smartphone. Change colors, patterns, brightness, schedules, and timers — all from your couch or anywhere with cell service. Available for iPhone, Android, and most Mac systems.
Yes. Once your Trimlight is paired with your home WiFi network, you can control it from anywhere using the Edge app. Set schedules, change patterns, or turn the system on and off remotely.
You can save up to 60 patterns in the Trimlight Edge app. If you reach the limit, the app will prompt you to delete older patterns to make room for new ones. You can rename, organize, and manage saved patterns from the clock icon.
Yes. Trimlight integrates with both Google Home and Amazon Alexa. You can use voice commands to turn the lights on/off, adjust brightness, and change colors through the respective skills.
Yes. The Edge app supports daily timers and calendar events. You can set your lights to automatically turn on at sunset and off at midnight, schedule holiday patterns weeks in advance, and create different schedules for weekdays vs. weekends. You can even run a daily timer and calendar event on the same day — just avoid overlapping times.
Pricing varies based on your home's size, roofline complexity, and the extent of coverage you want. We provide free, no-obligation estimates for every Lehigh Valley property. Most homeowners find that Trimlight pays for itself within a few years compared to the annual cost of traditional holiday light installation.
Traditional professional holiday light installation costs $300-$1,000+ every year, and you only get to enjoy them for a few weeks. With Trimlight, you make one investment and get year-round lighting for every occasion — holidays, game days, birthdays, everyday curb appeal, and home security. Over 5 years, most homeowners save thousands.
Trimlight is maintenance-free. There are no bulbs to replace seasonally, no tangled strings to untangle, and no ladders to climb. If you ever need a repair, just call us — we're local and handle all warranty service for our Lehigh Valley installations.
Trimlight operates on safe 12-volt low-voltage power. This is significantly safer than higher-voltage systems (24V-48V) and provides excellent energy efficiency with minimal heat output. The system is UL-listed and designed for permanent outdoor use in all weather conditions.
Absolutely. Well-lit exteriors are one of the strongest deterrents against break-ins. Use Trimlight as security lighting along walkways, driveways, and dark corners of your property. Set it to turn on automatically at sunset and you'll never come home to a dark house again.
Every year, thousands of homeowners are injured falling from ladders while hanging or removing holiday lights. Trimlight eliminates that risk entirely — once installed, you never need to climb a ladder again. Control everything from your phone, safely on the ground.
