Permanent lighting on a residential roofline set to white

The TruLight Difference

Compare TruLight to Competitors

Permanent lighting is a real investment, and most companies make it hard to compare apples to apples. We go brand by brand: chip type, LED count, voltage, how zones actually work, warranty, and what the app looks like two years after install. Find the brand you're considering and see exactly how it stacks up.

RGB White vs. RGBW Pure White

RGB “White”

Standard RGB systems mix red, green, and blue to approximate white. The result is a cool, bluish-purple tint that doesn't look natural, especially on warm-toned homes with stone, stucco, or earth-tone siding. The photo below is a JellyFish system set to white. JellyFish uses three RGB LEDs per node with no dedicated white diode, so its white is blended from color. See the full TruLight vs JellyFish comparison.

RGBW Pure White

TruLight uses 6 LEDs per light: 3 RGB + 3 dedicated warm white LEDs. This gives you two distinct white modes: a real warm white that flatters stone and stucco, and a true pure white by blending all 6 LEDs together. No RGB system can replicate this. The photo below is the same home. The owners wanted a cleaner white than RGB could give them, so the JellyFish system came down and TruLight went up.
