Three Styles. One System.

Lighting that fits how your home actually looks.

Most permanent trim companies offer one option and hope it works. We offer three — each engineered to match a different architectural aesthetic, so your home looks like the lighting was always part of the design.

Classic

The timeless choice. Familiar, individually spaced points of light — updated with full smart control so you can program any color or schedule from your phone.

Warm, spaced-point aesthetic
Holiday, daily accent & game day modes
Best for traditional & craftsman homes

Evolution

A continuous bar of light with denser LED placement — bold architectural impact, fluid motion effects, and maximum color saturation. The statement choice.

Solid, uninterrupted color band
Fluid motion effects & full RGBW spectrum
Best for modern & contemporary homes

Genesis

Evenly spaced light nodes on a clean track — less dense than Evolution, more refined than Classic. Blends into the trim when off, and glows quietly when on.

Simplified snap-in track installation
Neutral trim color options (white/black)
Best for minimalist & subtle accent looks
