Product Endurance
Capital Trimlight comes with a Lifetime Product Warranty. Simply reach out to your local dealer and request to have the light replaced. You may or may not be charged a labor fee depending on your location, but the faulty product will be covered under warranty.
Capital Trimlight comes with a Lifetime Product Warranty. The lifetime of Capital Trimlight depends on how often it is used. On average, Capital Trimlight will last between 20 to 30 years (assuming it is only used during nighttime hours). If Capital Trimlight is constantly left on day and night, it will significantly reduce the lifetime of the lights.
Capital Trimlight provides an industry-leading Lifetime Product Warranty. This warranty covers any components of the Capital Trimlight system for the life of those components. When used properly, the components in the Capital Trimlight system should last up to 40 years, depending on usage. The lights have a 50,000-hour lifespan. If the system is left on 24 hours per day, this greatly diminishes the lifetime of the product due to heat dissipation.
The answer is sometimes. If the glitch or fault occurs within the RGB components, then it will only affect that light. The light may turn a different color or shut off completely. If the glitch or fault occurs within the data wire of the affected light, it may affect all the lights after it in line. Either way, it is a quick and simple repair; just reach out to your local Capital Trimlight dealer, and they will swap out the affected light, which will correct any issue.
Typically, LED diodes with lenses can become faded or damaged due to constant sun exposure over time. However, Capital Trimlight's residential lighting has no lens or covering; only the direct LED shows out of the channel. This means Capital Trimlight LEDs will not fade, get cloudy, or become discolored over time like many other exterior LEDs. Furthermore, Capital Trimlight residential LEDs face down and below the channel, which further protects them from constant sun exposure.
Pairing
Yes, the Capital Trimlight system has the capability to be paired with your home network. However, keep in mind that we cannot guarantee Capital Trimlight will connect to your home network due to many variables outside our control, such as the type of router/modem, firewall settings, potential obstacles, and interference from other devices, etc.
