About

What is Security & Down Lighting?

Security lighting is the lowest-effort, highest-impact deterrent you can add to your home. Properties that are visibly lit at night are statistically far less likely to be targeted than dark properties. Charlotte Trimlight installs permanent, app-scheduled security lighting that runs every night without you thinking about it.

Security you'll actually use

Never come home to a dark house. Automated schedules mean your property is already lit when you pull in the driveway, every night, without touching a switch.

Away from home? Look lived-in. Set a vacation scene that varies your lighting from night to night, so the house reads as occupied even when it isn't.

Hear something at 2am? Light up every side of the property instantly from the app on your nightstand. No fumbling for switches, no stepping outside in the dark.

Coverage we recommend

Most homeowners pair always-on roof-line lighting with motion-activated down lighting on driveways, side yards, and back doors. The result is even, deterrent-grade coverage of every approach to your house.

Why Trimlight

Same system as your accent lighting, no second app to manage

Why integration beats a standalone security system

Most security lighting is sold as a separate system from your decorative or accent lighting. That means a separate app, separate scheduling, and separate failure modes when something goes wrong.

One scene, one tap

With Trimlight, your security mode is just another scene in the same app you already use for holiday lighting. Tap once at bedtime to switch from warm-white ambiance to bright security white. The system handles the rest.

Frequently asked questions

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.

How much energy does Trimlight use? +

Each Trimlight bulb uses 0.72 watts. A typical 200-foot residential install uses 120–400 watts total, meaning you can run the system 3–8 hours before adding even $0.06–$0.20 to your electric bill. For comparison, incandescent Christmas strings on the same footage would use 1000–1400 watts.

Will I lose my saved patterns and timers if the power goes out? +

No. The Trimlight controller has a built-in battery that preserves all saved programs and timers during a power outage. When power returns, your scheduled lighting resumes as programmed.

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.
