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 positions their lights on the drip edge or the top lip of gutters, which means that the lights, wires, and connections are exposed to sunlight throughout the entire day. This constant exposure to the sun can have several detrimental effects on LED lights. Firstly, the intense and prolonged sunlight can cause the materials to degrade over time, leading to potential discoloration and weakening of the structural integrity of the lights and their components. Additionally, the continuous heat from the sun reduces the efficiency of the LED lights in dissipating heat, which is crucial for maintaining their optimal performance. As a result, the lights may overheat more easily, leading to a decrease in their brightness and overall functionality. Over time, this exposure can significantly shorten the lifespan of the LED lights, necessitating more frequent replacements and potentially increasing maintenance costs for homeowners.
