What does it look like during the day?

Discreet. The track is a low-profile channel that tucks under the eaves and roofline, color-matched where possible, so it reads as trim rather than as lights. The visual payoff happens at night.

Everything runs from a phone app: colors, brightness, pre-built and custom scenes, animations, and automatic schedules like dusk-to-dawn. You can change it for a holiday, a game, or just everyday warm white in seconds.

Is it really permanent, and will it hold up outdoors?

Yes. It is a permanent install with weather-resistant LEDs and a properly protected outdoor circuit, built to stand up to Central Valley sun and weather year after year. You install it once and never handle seasonal lights again.

Can I use it for holidays and everyday?

That is the whole point. Run soft warm white for everyday curb appeal, then switch to full color and animated scenes for any holiday or occasion, all from the app, no ladder, no swapping anything out.

TruLight Permanent Exterior Lighting by Best Diehl Electric

Permanent exterior lighting is the upgrade that ends the holiday-light ritual for good. Instead of climbing a ladder every December and taking it all down in January, individually addressable LED points are mounted once into a low-profile track tucked under your eaves and roofline. By day, the track is discreet and barely noticeable. By night, your phone controls everything: soft warm white for everyday curb appeal, team colors for game day, or full-color animated scenes for every holiday.

Best Diehl Electric installs TruLight permanent lighting as a clean, code-correct electrical job: securely mounted track, weather-resistant LED modules, properly protected outdoor power and transformer, and app setup so it is ready to use before we leave. It is the rare upgrade that adds curb appeal, safety, and convenience all at once, and you will never get on a ladder for lights again.
