How it All Started

Trimlight was founded in 2010 by Ryan Whittaker, who, tired of braving harsh Utah winters to hang holiday lights for his wife, envisioned a better way. Frustrated by the annual hassle of installing and removing snow-covered lights, he created Trimlight—a permanent, programmable outdoor lighting system designed to simplify the process and deliver festive joy year after year.

Determined to eliminate ladder climbs in freezing weather, the Trimlight team explored various home construction techniques to find the ideal permanent lighting solution. Focused on safeguarding roofs and gutters, they developed the patented Trimlight channel—a sleek, secure system that attaches directly to the fascia. The result is a durable, visually appealing lighting feature that redefines outdoor illumination with strength and style.

Why Trimlight’s Patented Channel System Outshines the Rest

Trimlight’s patented channel system sets a new benchmark in outdoor lighting by combining innovation, durability, and aesthetics. Unlike traditional lighting methods that require frequent installation and removal, this channel provides a permanent, secure housing for LED lights, protecting wiring from the elements while seamlessly blending with your home’s architecture.

Key advantages include:

Durability: Built to withstand harsh weather conditions without compromising performance.
Sleek Design: Integrates invisibly with your roofline, maintaining your home’s clean and elegant look by day.
Easy Maintenance: Eliminates the need for seasonal installation hassles or ladder climbs.
