What Are Trim Lights?
Trim lights are a professionally installed LED system mounted directly to your home’s roofline, fascia, and soffits, designed to stay in place year-round. Unlike seasonal string lights that require annual setup and takedown, these fixtures integrate with your home’s architecture for a clean, finished look. You control every color, scene, and schedule from a smartphone app with no ladders needed after installation. Trim lights eliminate the recurring hassle of seasonal decorating while giving you complete flexibility for every holiday, every season, and every ordinary night.
Benefits of Trim Lights
Homeowners across the country are choosing permanent trim systems over seasonal strings, and the reasons are hard to argue with.
Always Ready, Never Repeated
Trim lights are installed once and stay in place indefinitely. No annual setup, no teardown, no storage bins. Your home looks great every night of the year with zero recurring effort on your part.
Full App Control from Anywhere
Your entire system is managed through a smartphone app. Change colors, set schedules, activate holiday scenes, or switch everything off from anywhere you happen to be.
16M+ Colors for Every Occasion
With more than 16 million color options, you can match any holiday, any sports team, any season, or any personal preference. Switch from warm white to full holiday color in a single tap.
IP68-Rated for Long-Term Durability
Our fixtures carry an IP68 waterproof rating, the highest available for outdoor use. They are engineered to handle extreme heat, humidity, and heavy storm seasons without skipping a beat.
Lower Operating Cost Than Traditional Strings
Permanent LED systems typically cost between $7 and $10 per month to run, far less than traditional incandescent string lights or seasonal floodlight rentals. One installation pays for itself by eliminating recurring labor and storage costs over time.
Why Choose Marvelous Lights?

Trim Light Options We Offer
Marvelous Lights installs a full range of permanent trim light solutions for residential properties throughout North Carolina, Florida, and Texas. Our most popular option is roofline lighting, which traces the top edge of your home for bold architectural definition.
Soffit lighting sits under the eaves for a polished, understated glow that looks great every night. We also install accent lighting for entryways, columns, and landscape features, along with commercial-grade systems for storefronts and multi-tenant properties. Every system uses IP68-rated LEDs with app control and a lifespan of 20 or more years.
What Sets Our Team Apart
Marvelous Lights is a locally owned and operated business serving homeowners across North Carolina, Florida, and Texas. We understand the architecture, the climate, and the communities we work in, from coastal humidity to intense summer heat. As an authorized Gemstone Lights dealer, we install systems that meet strict quality standards and come backed by manufacturer support.
We are not a national franchise passing jobs to local subcontractors. Every installation is handled by our own trained crew. When you have a question months after we finish, you reach the same people who installed your lights. Many clients who start with a roofline system also add accent lighting to entryways and columns once they see how much the first phase transforms the exterior.
Trim Lights FAQs
What is the difference between our service and traditional landscape lighting?
Traditional landscape lighting uses wired fixtures aimed at trees, garden beds, and pathways. Trim lights focus on the architectural elements of the home itself, including the roofline, fascia, soffits, and eave line. The two systems serve different purposes and can coexist beautifully. Trim lights are also app-controlled and support full color changing, which most traditional landscape fixtures do not offer.
How long does our service actually last?
Our systems use IP68-rated LED fixtures rated for 20-plus years of continuous outdoor operation. The LEDs do not burn out in the traditional sense and require no bulb replacements. The track hardware is aluminum and built for permanent outdoor exposure. With proper installation, most systems operate without any significant maintenance for the life of the home.
Can trim lights be used for holidays and events, or only for everyday use?
Both. The app lets you store multiple scene programs, so warm whites handle everyday curb appeal while holiday presets are ready the moment you need them. Switch to red and green for Christmas, orange and purple for Halloween, or red, white, and blue for the Fourth of July with a single tap. You can also schedule scenes to activate automatically on specific dates.
Do trim lights require permits or HOA approval?
Permit requirements vary by municipality. For most residential installations, no permit is required, but we recommend confirming with your local building department for commercial or larger-scale projects. If your HOA has exterior modification rules, review your CC&Rs before scheduling installation. Our hardware is low-profile and color-matched to your fascia, which helps satisfy most HOA aesthetic guidelines.
What does a trim light system typically cost?
Cost depends on home size, roofline complexity, and the number of zones you want to control. Most residential systems run between $2,000 and $6,000 installed. Contact our team at 980-809-4201 for a consultation and accurate estimate for your specific home.
