If you've been thinking about permanent outdoor lighting, I highly recommend Groovy Homes and…read moreTruLight!
I've been researching permanent lighting for about 3 years. I've compared a lot of different systems, and I'm pretty particular about what I wanted. We've also been spending around $900 every year to have traditional white Christmas lights installed and taken down, so I was ready for a better long-term solution.
When I connected with Nick at Groovy Homes, what really stood out was his professionalism and how well he explained the differences between the lighting systems. He took the time to walk me through the technology, explain what actually mattered, and answer my questions. After doing my own research for three years, I really appreciated talking with someone who knew his product and could explain why it was a good fit rather than just trying to sell me lights.
Because I was already familiar with many of the leading brands after three years of research, Nick was able to compare them with TruLight and clearly explain where TruLight stood apart. What impressed me most was that TruLight wasn't just another option. It seemed to take the best ideas from the industry and build on them with meaningful improvements. Even though TruLight was newer to me, after seeing the differences firsthand, it was the clear choice for our home.
TruLight checked all my major boxes: 48-volt power without needing power boosters, high-output lights, a lifetime warranty, and color-matched aluminum tracks that blend into the house instead of leaving obvious lights hanging off the roofline.
TruLight also had some features I hadn't come across in my three years of comparing systems:
6 LEDs per light for great light output
Three different white-light options to achieve a more natural, warm-white look
16-bit color for more precise color control
Lights that move to music
Motion-detection lighting
A lifetime warranty
One of the biggest surprises for me was realizing these aren't just Christmas lights. I originally started looking for a way to stop paying to put up and take down holiday lights every year. But the ability to use them as year-round architectural accent lighting was a huge selling point. You can highlight your home's rooflines and features with elegant, everyday lighting, then switch things up for Christmas, other holidays, birthdays, game days, or any celebration. That versatility was a real differentiator for me and made the investment even more appealing.
Choosing the right lights is only part of the equation, though. Having someone who knows the product, takes pride in the work, and installs everything so it looks like it belongs on your house makes all the difference. Nick and Groovy Homes delivered on that, and the finished installation looks fantastic! My wife was super impressed by how well the lights are hidden during the day!
If you're considering permanent lighting, give Nick at Groovy Homes a call. I spent three years researching the options, and I'm happy to answer questions about what I learned and why we chose Groovy Homes and TruLight.
