Bulb Wear & Tear

• Given that Trimlight installs their lights under the eaves of homes, our bulbs are shielded from continuous exposure to sunlight. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can have negative effects on LED bulbs, such as discoloration, reduced brightness, and a shorter lifespan. Additionally, excessive heat buildup within the bulb can lead to overheating and failure. To guarantee optimal performance and longevity, our LED bulbs are installed under the eaves where they are protected and shielded from direct sunlight.

• EverLights installs their lights on the drip edge or the top lip of gutters, exposing lights, wires, and connections to sunlight throughout the day.
