Brand Comparison
Trimlight vs Apollo Home Solutions in Oklahoma City
Trimlight sells through independently owned local dealers. Apollo Home Solutions is one OKC company that installs and services its own system.
Trimlight and Apollo Home Solutions both do one thing. They install permanent LED trim lighting along the roofline. Both offer app control. But they reach an Oklahoma City homeowner. The companies are very different. Trimlight is a national brand. It sells through independently owned dealerships. Each one covers its own territory. Apollo is one OKC company. It installs its own system, with its own crew. It answers the warranty call itself. That is a five-year manufacturer's warranty. And one year of labor. In writing.
The Structural Difference
A national brand licenses its product. It goes to a local dealership. That dealership is its own business. It has its own owners. It has its own installers. It has its own service rules. The brand assigns it a territory to work in. When you buy, you get two things. You get the brand's hardware. You get the dealership's workmanship. Those come from two different companies. Two different track records.
Apollo has no layer in between. The same OKC company measures your roofline. That same company installs the track. Say a section goes dark three years later. That same company takes your call. There is no territory to reassign. There is no support line. It will not route you back to a dealership. Not one that may have changed hands.
What Apollo Installs
Apollo installs a low-profile LED track. It runs along your eaves and rooflines. It is color-matched to your trim. So it disappears in daylight. The LEDs are rated for 50,000-plus hours. That is roughly 15 to 20 years. It is based on typical use. A few hours each evening. The housing is waterproof and anti-UV. It is built for Oklahoma sun, heat, and storms.
The app runs the whole system. That means 16 million-plus colors. Zone control for each part of the house. Scheduling. Music sync. And saved scenes you can switch in seconds. One install handles it all. Holiday lighting. Everyday accent lighting. Game day colors. Security lighting. More detail is on the permanent lighting page.
Every run is cut and fitted. It matches your home's actual roofline. This happens during install. It is wired to its own weatherproof power supply. No extension cords. No seasonal takedown. No ladders for you.
Apollo's own crew handles the install. Start to finish. They measure the roofline. They fit the track to your eaves. And your soffits. They run the wiring out of sight. They set up your zones. Right in the app. They walk you through building scenes. And saving them, before they leave. Nothing about that day gets handed off. Not to a subcontractor. Not to a factory technician. Not one sent in from out of state.
Warranty: Read Both Halves
Apollo installs carry a five-year manufacturer's warranty. And one year of labor. Both exclude damage from acts of God or nature. The same wording is on the FAQ page. It is also in the paperwork you sign.
Whoever you compare, do this. Read parts coverage and labor coverage. Treat them as two separate things. A long parts warranty is only worth one thing. What the labor costs you. So ask what a service call runs. Do this once the labor window closes. Ask which company actually performs the work. Is it the brand? Or the dealership? Under a dealer model, those answers can change. It depends on the territory. With Apollo, there is one answer. It is Apollo.
What to Ask Any Installer
- Who installs the system - an employed crew, or subcontractors?
- Who takes the service call in year three? Where is that person based?
- What does the warranty cover for parts? What does it cover for labor?
- Is the quote based on your roofline length? Based on your soffit type? Or is it just a per-foot guess?
- Can you see finished work on homes like yours? Apollo's is in the gallery.

FAQ
Is Apollo Home Solutions a Trimlight dealer?
No. Apollo Home Solutions is not a dealer. It is not a reseller. It is not a franchisee of Trimlight. Not of any other national lighting brand. Apollo installs its own permanent lighting system. It uses its own OKC crew.
What is the difference between a dealer model and a local installer?
Under a dealer model, a national brand builds the product. An independently owned local dealership sells it. It installs it. It services it, in an assigned territory. With Apollo, one OKC company handles it all. The quote. The install. Each service call after that.
What warranty comes with Apollo's permanent lighting?
Apollo installs include a five-year manufacturer's warranty and a one-year labor warranty. Both exclude one thing: damage from acts of God or nature.
Does Apollo's system have music sync and zone control?
Yes. Apollo's app includes zone control, scheduling, and music sync. It also has saved scenes. And 16 million-plus color options. All from your phone.
How long do Apollo's permanent lights last?
Apollo uses LEDs rated for 50,000-plus hours. Picture a typical few hours of evening use per day. That works out to roughly 15 to 20 years. That is before the LEDs are expected to dim much.
