About

What is Backyard, Patio & Dock Lighting?

Your backyard, patio, and dock should be just as usable at 9pm as at noon. Charlotte Trimlight installs permanent LED lighting under patio covers, around pool cages, along fence lines, and on lakefront docks. We also hang outdoor string lighting, from market bistro lights to color-changing pixel orbs. Unlike temporary string lights, they're permanently installed, controlled from the same Trimlight app, and covered by the same lifetime warranty. The result is outdoor square footage you only used in daylight, available year-round for entertaining.

Surfaces we install on

  • Patios and outdoor kitchens
  • Pergolas and gazebos
  • Pool cages and pool surrounds
  • Boat docks and dock canopies
  • Deck railings and step risers
  • Retaining walls and garden walls
  • Fence lines and pergola perimeters

Same Trimlight system, same app, same lifetime warranty. Tunable from warm white for dinner to color-cycled for a party.

Why Trimlight

Built for the Carolinas climate

Built for the Carolinas climate

Our LED systems are weatherproof and built for the heat, humidity, pollen, and pop-up thunderstorms that define Charlotte summers. The aluminum channel handles UV, the connections are sealed, and the LEDs are commercial grade.

Lakefront docks

Docks on Lake Norman and Lake Wylie get a slightly different install profile. The system is just as robust against water exposure as it is against weather.

Frequently asked questions

Will Trimlight survive Carolina weather? +

Yes. The aluminum channel, sealed connections, and commercial-grade LEDs are built for permanent outdoor exposure, heat, humidity, pollen, UV, thunderstorms, ice, and the occasional Carolina snow. The system is engineered for year-round installation on Charlotte-area homes.

How do I control my Trimlight system? +

Through a free Trimlight app on your phone, works on both iPhone and Android. The app includes over 180 presets, preconfigured holiday patterns, daily timers, and the ability to create custom color sequences. Most homeowners set a default evening scene and only open the app for special occasions.

Will the LEDs fade in the sun over time? +

No. Trimlight residential LEDs won't fade, cloud over, or become discolored because they don't have lens covers and they face downward, shielded from direct sun by the channel itself.

How does the Trimlight Lifetime Product Warranty work? +

The Trimlight Lifetime Product Warranty covers components of the system for the life of those components, typically 20–30 years of nightly use. Warranty service is handled by our local Charlotte team.
