Bangor is the center of the Slate Belt, a borough built by the quarries with the housing stock to prove it — solid older homes on a tight grid, Broadway running through the middle, and Blue Mountain sitting behind the whole town. It is a place where people have stayed for generations and where a house that looks after itself gets noticed.
Trimlight is permanent exterior lighting rather than seasonal decoration. A low-profile aluminum track mounts under the roofline once and holds individually addressable RGB LEDs that are effectively invisible in daylight. After that everything runs from an app: warm white in December, orange in October, Slater colors in the fall, off when you want it off.

Slate Belt housing is older and more tightly built than most of the Valley, which changes the job. Here is where we work.
The Slate Belt takes Christmas seriously in a way that has more to do with tradition than competition. The same houses go up every year, the streets look the way they are supposed to look, and a dark house in the middle of a lit block stands out immediately in a borough this compact.
Permanent Christmas lighting keeps the tradition without the annual climb. We install in the fall, the track stays on the house, and from then on the display is switched on rather than rebuilt. Older homes with steep roofs and narrow side yards are exactly where doing it once, properly, matters most.
Slate Belt housing tends toward steep pitches and tight lots. That is the worst combination for annual ladder work and the best case for a permanent install.
The usual choice in the borough. Mounted level and identical every December with nothing to put back up.
Individually addressable LEDs make red-and-green alternating and chasing patterns presets rather than a separate set of lights to store.
The main reason Bangor homeowners call. One track covers Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving, New Year, Valentine's Day and the Fourth of July.
Permanent LED along the roofline, porch and architectural features throughout the borough and Washington Township.
Slate Belt housing has trim and detail worth keeping intact. Clip-mounted channel, no nails through original woodwork.
Quarry-era housing often has pitches that make seasonal work genuinely hazardous. We do it once with the right equipment.
Automatic sunset scheduling. Useful on the wooded foothill properties where there is no street lighting at all.
Lifetime product warranty serviced by the crew that installed it rather than a national call center.
Paying for seasonal installation and removal in the Slate Belt costs several hundred dollars a year indefinitely, and leaves you owning nothing once the lights come down.
Permanent lighting is one install with a lifetime product warranty on the system. It runs on a schedule you set once, costs a few dollars a month in electricity, and the house looks finished every night of the year.
The stronger argument in Bangor is usually safety rather than money. Steep slate-era rooflines, narrow side yards and a ladder in December is a bad combination, and this removes it permanently.
Elsewhere in the Slate Belt? We install throughout Northampton County and the wider Lehigh Valley.
