Find answers about your installation, local weather, app controls, cost, and support. Start with the topic you need.
Planning and installation
TruLight is a premium permanent outdoor LED lighting system that mounts below your fascia and soffit and stays there year-round. Control colors, patterns, and schedules from the TruLight app.
TruLight uses 6 LEDs per light (3 RGB + 3 dedicated warm white) compared to the industry standard of 3. This means 2-3x the brightness, true warm white and pure white modes, a 48V system for better efficiency, integrated motion sensors, and the most patterns and music sync options available.
TruLight is professionally installed to ensure safety, proper wiring, and the cleanest possible look. Our team handles everything.
The control box mounts in your garage or a discrete exterior location. It's small, clean, and out of the way.
Most homes are completed in one day, typically 4-8 hours depending on the size and complexity of the project.
Nearly invisible. The low-profile aluminum track mounts below the fascia and soffit, color-matched to blend right in. Beautiful at night, discreet during the day.
Most do. Permanent lighting is generally more HOA-friendly than seasonal lights because it's clean, professional, and architectural. We can help you navigate your specific HOA requirements.
No. The track mounts below the fascia and soffit, so we never touch your gutters or roof.
Weather and your home
Ask us to review the roof edge, mounting position, and access to the property before installation. Snow and ice can affect access. Keep any questions about winter conditions with your quote so the proposed installation addresses your home.
Discuss your installationContact TruLight SLC to discuss the date and conditions at your property. Confirm safe access and the installation schedule with the team before making plans around a winter appointment.
Ask about schedulingStay on the ground and contact TruLight SLC. Do not climb onto an icy roof or handle damaged wiring. Describe what you can see from a safe location so the team can advise on the next step.
Contact supportAsk where the controller and power supply will sit and how much direct sun reaches the proposed track. Request specifications for the components in your quote. An LED hour rating alone does not establish how long the complete installed system will last.

Yes! The TruLight app lets you create and save custom patterns, choose from thousands of pre-made options, and sync your lights to music.
Yes, and this is one of TruLight's biggest advantages. With 3 dedicated warm white LEDs plus 3 RGB LEDs per light, you get two white modes: a real warm white (perfect for stone and stucco) and a true pure white by running all 6 LEDs together. Standard RGB systems can only approximate white with a bluish tint.
Yes. TruLight supports zoning, so you can run different colors or patterns on different areas of your home independently.

Very little. LED technology is extremely energy-efficient. Most homeowners see less than $5/month added to their electric bill.
Seasonal installers charge $500 to $1,200 per season for the install, the takedown, and the strands that need replacing. Over 10 years that is $5,000 to $12,000 on lights you never keep. You pay for a permanent system once.
Warranty and support
TruLight LEDs are rated for 100,000 hours. That's 30-35 years at 8 hours per night. The system is built to last a lifetime.

Essentially none. There are no bulbs to replace, no annual visits needed, and no maintenance fees. That's the whole point of permanent lighting.
Get help with your lightsYes. Individual LED lights can be replaced if needed, though with 100,000 hour ratings, it's extremely rare.
