Everything you need to know
Answers from the Northern Michigan Trimlight team about installation, pricing, and more.
What is Trimlight?
Trimlight is a permanent, programmable holiday lighting system that gives you the ability to celebrate every holiday or special event throughout the year, all from one installation.
How is Trimlight installed?
Trimlight is held in a channel installed along your roofline, matched to the color of your home. The channel holds the lights securely in place, hides the wiring completely from view, and protects the lights from UV damage while adding architectural detail.
How do I change the colors of my Trimlight system?
The Trimlight app gives you access to preset holiday programs, or you can create fully customizable colors, patterns, and animations. A calendar feature lets you schedule your Trimlight in advance so it's ready for every holiday or occasion automatically.
Will Trimlight be visible during the daylight?
Trimlight offers several channel designs and color options to match any style of home, so the system is hardly noticeable during the day while staying installed permanently.
