What is Trimlight?

Trimlight is an innovative, patented, permanent lighting solution for homes, commercial buildings, patios, pool cages, lanais, gazebos, community clubhouses and even food trucks!  Our patented channel system secures the lights in place and hides the wires completely from view making them unnoticeable by day but bright and beautiful by night, allowing you to leave them up all year, every year.  With virtually unlimited color and animation options, our programmable system gives customers the control and versatility to set their lights for every major holiday, sporting event, or any special occasion throughout the year.   Trimlight systems also make great security and accent lights and they greatly enhance your home’s curb appeal as well as increase your property value.

How is the Trimlight system installed?

We can install Trimlight on any roofline or structure. Our patented channel system is made from recycled aluminum to prevent corrosion or rust and is enamel-baked to prevent chipping and fading. By matching our channel system to your home’s soffit and fascia, it is unnoticeable by day and bright by night! The channel secures the lights in place and hides the wires completely from view.

Where can Trimlight be installed?

Trimlight can be installed on any home or commercial building as well as pool cages, patios, lanais and more.  Basically, as long as there is something we securely can attach our aluminum channel to, we can install it.

Is Trimlight weatherproof?

Our channel system protects the lights from harmful UV rays and is securely attached to withstand winds. The LED diodes are water resistant and made to withstand adverse weather conditions.

What's the difference between 6", 9" and 12" spacing?

We offer 3 different spacing options for the LED lights/diodes – 6″ between the lights, 9″ between the lights and 12″ between the lights.  Our most popular option for homes is 9″ but of course, up to you. We do not recommend 12″ for 100 foot and under projects. Our commercial channel only comes in 12″spacing.

How much does Trimlight cost?

The cost is dependent upon a number of factors, including linear footage, number and size of roof peaks, gables, turrets, if the install requires any additional equipment, etc. For an accurate quote for your home, business, pool cage or patio, give us a call or fill out our Request an Estimate form.

How does Trimlight work? How do I change the color(s) and pattern(s)?

Our proprietary, user-friendly app works with both Android and Apple devices.  If you’re not super tech-savvy, our app includes over 180 presents with holiday patterns and daily timers.  You can create your own color combinations and set custom sequences.  For more info about creating your own custom color combinations, visit our RGB Codes page under the Resources menu.

Do you offer financing?

Yes, we work with Wisetack.  Wisetack enables you to break up the cost of a purchase into easy monthly payments. When financing through Wisetack, checking your options doesn’t impact your credit score and there are no prepayment fees, late fees, or compounding interest.

The application is initiated by us and completed by you. On average, the application takes about a minute to complete. If eligible, you will receive several options to choose from with various term lengths and monthly payment amounts.  Please contact us for more information on financing options, or visit our financing information page.
Do you offer any discounts?

We run many promotions and sales throughout the year.  The best way to keep up with those specials/promotions is to follow us on Facebook. Because we are Veteran-Owned and Operated, we do offer a special military discount of 10% off. (Seasonal discounts and the military discount cannot be combined.  The greater discount prevails). Contact us for more information.

Is Trimlight approved by my HOA?

Trimlight has worked with hundreds of HOAs nationally. Almost every HOA approves of Trimlight because of its sleek channel system that is virtually invisible by day and beautiful and bright by night. For more information about getting approval for your HOA, please send us an email at sales@spacecoasttrimlight.com

Is Trimlight energy efficient? Will it raise my electric bill?

For 3 to 8 hours of constant use of your Trimlight system, you would be billed $0.06-$0.20.  Each Trimlight bulb uses just 0.6 watts of energy. Traditional Christmas lights use anywhere from 1000-1400 watts for the same number of lights!

I have my Trimlight installation scheduled. Is there anything I need to do to prepare and what can I expect on installation day?

Some homes have electrical outlets in the soffits. We cannot guarantee that our channel will not cover these slightly after installation is complete. If these items are critical for your needs, please notify the installer on-site and they will do their best to work around them.

Although we strive to be as careful as possible, we cannot be held liable for décor that is in the way of the installation. Any lawn decorations, seasonal decorations, furniture, or other items should be moved prior to the installation. If unable to be moved prior, the installers will be careful around the items but will not be held liable for any damage to these items.

During the installation, there will be metal cuttings that can be sharp that fall to the ground. Our installers do their best to retrieve all of them prior to leaving the site but we cannot guarantee that all will be found.  When walking around the area, please be aware of this and keep an eye out for debris. Avoid walking barefoot until all areas have been thoroughly inspected.

If you have roaming pets, please be mindful of their droppings prior to the installation. It is difficult for our installers to consistently check their shoes when going in and out of a home to access the attic and garage and can only cause a potential stain in a home.  Please keep the animals secure and away from the installers during the installation.

It is best if you have downloaded our Trimlight Edge mobile app and watched our user video to ensure a basic understanding of the controls. The installer will be able to answer any questions during a brief tutorial. Any additional tutorials that are needed, contact your Trimlight sales representative for additional help and guidance.

You installed our Trimlight system and I’m having trouble utilizing the app. Can you help?

Yes! For help with the Trimlight Edge app, please reference the Edge Users Guide that can be found in the Customer Booklet our installers left with you or click here to access the video tutorials. For assistance with the old Trimlight Select app, please visit our Resources page for video tutorials.  If you are still in need of assistance, please give us a call 321-775-4127 or send us an email at sales@spacecoasttrimlight.com.

How long does Trimlight last?

Your Trimlight system comes with a lifetime product warranty.  The lifetime of Trimlight depends on how often it is used.  The LEDs are warrantied for 50,000 hours which could be upwards of 20 to 25 years (assuming it is used only during nighttime hours).  If your system is left on all day and night, it will significantly reduce the lifetime of the lights.  See our Warranty page for more info.

Can I use Trimlight with both Apple and Android devices?

Yes! The Trimlight system works with both Android and Apple devices.  It will also work with most Mac computer systems since they are App driven.  It will not work with most PCs.

How many patterns can I save in the Trimlight app?

You can save up to 30 patterns in the Trimlight Edge app.   You will receive an error message if you try to exceed 30 patterns.  You can always delete some of your current patterns to save new ones.

How do I rename or delete a pattern?

You can rename or delete a pattern in the Trimlight Edge app by clicking on the clock icon in the bottom right corner where you will see a list of current patterns.  Swipe left on the pattern you would like to rename or delete.

Can I pair Trimlight to my home network?

Yes the Trimlight system has the capability to be paired to your home network.  However, keep in mind that we cannot guarantee Trimlight will pair to your home network based on many variables out of our control such as type of router/modem, firewalls, potential obstacles, interference from other devices, etc.  The Trimlight controller does have an internal Wi-Fi signal so if you cannot connect to your home network, you can connect to the internal Wi-Fi directly.  However, you will lose some of the functionality (music, cloud connection, etc) if you’re not paired to your home network.
