"I started my first business at 15 — landscaping that grew into seasonal holiday lighting. Every January I'd take those lights down and hear the same thing: 'I hate losing that glow.' Seasonal lighting wore out connectors, dented gutters, and looked like an afterthought. IllumiTrim was built to fix that."
Colton founded IllumiTrim in 2017 after years installing seasonal and landscape lighting across Central Florida. The name reflects the precision of the work: tight, clean trim lines on the eave, every node seated flush in color-matched aluminum track.
Today IllumiTrim serves Clermont and the surrounding Central Florida area — Montverde, Groveland, Winter Garden, Minneola. Colton handles every free demo personally, and his number is (407) 349-3490 — he answers it himself.
Colton specifies IP68 for every node. IP65 is splash-resistant; IP68 is fully submersible. In Florida, that difference matters every hurricane season.
Every IllumiTrim system uses RGBW — four channels, not three. The white channel enables year-round architectural lighting that pure RGB cannot achieve.
Low-voltage 12V distribution means any zone can be expanded or repaired independently. No rewiring the whole run. No line-voltage risk at the eave.
No receptionist. No queue. Every inquiry — technical questions, post-install support, demo scheduling — goes directly to the founder at (407) 349-3490.
Every installation is backed by a 3-year labor and product warranty covering the IP68 housing, RGBW nodes, aluminum track, and all installation work.
