There is nothing as magical as the twinkling of bright lights during the holidays. Festive illuminations create a beautiful ambiance for friends, family and neighbors to enjoy all season long.
Each year the cost of a dazzling display involves precious time and money spent digging strings of lights out of storage, unraveling and testing each strand, replacing bulbs and buying replacements at premium holiday prices. It can take an entire weekend on a ladder to secure each set. While the nighttime display is beautiful, the daytime presence of ugly wires and extension cords can be an eyesore. At the end of the season, removing, packing and storing them is equally cumbersome.
Gainesville’s innovative new business, GatorTrimlight removes the hassle from the holidays. After their initial installation, homeowners never have to spend their time buying and stringing lights again. The risk of climbing a ladder is replaced with the simplicity of pushing a button.
Permanent Lighting Solution
Trimlight is an innovative, patented lighting system that has been on the market for over 12 years, providing professionally installed, permanent exterior lighting for homes and businesses. White lights can be used all year long at night for a classy, timeless and elegant look for homes, patios, pergolas, gazebos, docks or decks.
The bright and beautiful year-round lighting is invisible from the street during the day. A color-matched channel system connected under the home’s soffit hides all wires to create a clean, finished look.
The lights can be controlled from anywhere with internet connectivity. A user-friendly app works with an iPhone, Android device or Mac computer system.
Seasonal Décor
With unlimited color and animation options, the programmable system allows customers to set their lights for every major holiday, sporting event, or special occasion throughout the year.
From Valentine’s Day to Independence Day to New Year’s Eve, homeowners can customize their lighting décor to match each holiday’s colors. A lightening effect can be added for Halloween night or a twinkling appearance for Christmas Eve. Even a child’s birthday or college football Saturday can have its own uniquely designed display, chosen from millions of color combinations.
A Trimlight Facebook group even allows homeowners to share ideas of fun patterns and sequences with each other.
Energy Efficient Technology
Energy-efficient LED technology means each diode uses just 0.6 watts of power. Most homes outfitted with Trimlight will use less additional energy than one or two light bulbs. The system uses one-tenth the energy of incandescent lights, lasts 10 times longer and offers a lifetime product warranty.
Trimlight’s residential lighting includes single clear LEDs that face downward. Since light is cast straight down, it provides added security without disturbing neighbors. The sparkling LEDs glow like typical Christmas lights while providing a nice color wash to the house.
For commercial systems, a brighter triple LED that faces outward toward the street to draw attention to the business is used.
Industry Expertise
Owner Jon Adcock brings a wealth of industry knowledge to his new company. The Florida native ran a production company that created impressive sound, lighting and video displays for theme parks and premier hotels in the Orlando convention community for 30 years. When he and his wife saw the technology becoming more cost-effective, they knew there was an opportunity to provide permanent lighting solutions to consumers.
Adcock is thrilled to bring this expertise to the Greater Gainesville community. From the benefits of security for older adults to the excitement of light displays that mesmerize children, he has found this the most rewarding time of his career. He continues to impress customers with the technology’s mesmerizing capabilities and the system’s seamless, aesthetic look.
Adcock said, “I’m proud we can offer a solution that’s invisible by day but beautiful by night.”
