DIY Lighting Kits
Install Professional-Grade Permanent Lighting Yourself
Want the flexibility of doing it yourself — without sacrificing quality, durability, or design? Our DIY Lighting Kits give you everything you need to turn your home into a beautifully lit, year-round showpiece. Each kit includes high-quality LED lights, mounting tracks, wiring, and a smart controller so you get the same premium system we install for full projects — but at your pace, on your schedule, and within your budget.
Whether you’re a hands-on homeowner, a DIY enthusiast, or simply prefer to manage the install yourself, LGCY Lighting makes it easy to create a clean, weatherproof permanent lighting system that looks as good as a professional install.

Affordability — Get high-quality, permanent lighting at a lower price point since you provide the labor. Ideal if you want the same long-lasting results without paying for an install.
Flexibility & Control — Work on your own schedule. Pause, resume, or customize as you like. Perfect if you’re doing it over weekends or want to pace your project.
Full Customization — Choose exactly how your home is lit. With individual-addressable LEDs and the full color/pattern range, you control the vibe — from soft everyday glow to vibrant holiday displays.
Durability & Longevity — Just like our professionally installed systems, a DIY kit is built to last. With weatherproof materials and high durability ratings, your lighting can deliver decades of performance.
Great Value for DIYers — For homeowners comfortable with basic installation, a DIY lighting kit delivers professional-grade lighting at DIY pricing, balanced with high-quality components and smart controls.
What’s Included in a DIY Kit
Premium LED Lighting Strips
Our lights feature RGB (color-changing) LEDs with full addressability, giving you control over color, brightness, and lighting effects for each zone of your home. Much like Shimmer Trim’s “Three-Diode RGB lights.”
Low-Profile Mounting Tracks
Designed to be discreet and clean. Tracks come in a variety of color options to match your fascia or trim, so wiring stays hidden — “out of sight, out of mind.”
Weatherproof & Durable Components
All parts are built to withstand Utah weather, with LED lifespan ratings and waterproof housings that stand up to rain, snow, heat, and sun.
Smart Controller & App Integration
Control your lights from your phone: choose colors, set brightness, create lighting schedules, pick holiday or event themes, and more. Full customization with no complicated wiring.
Installation Guide & Support Materials
Detailed instructions (video + written), helpful tips for measuring your home and prepping the install, and support from our Utah-based team if you hit a snag. (We borrow from Shimmer Trim’s DIY guidance format.)

Suggested Steps for Installation
Measure Your Roofline & Trim — Start by measuring the perimeter or desired installation area. Use tape measure or measuring wheel. Shimmer Trim suggests measuring soffit panels or using tools like Google Maps for rough estimates.
Select Track Color & Layout — Choose from our track color options (to match your fascia or trim) so the system remains subtle and visually clean by day.
Install Mounting Track — Secure the low-profile track along roofline, fascia, or desired trim lines. Ensure it’s level, secure, and follows your desired layout.
Install LED Lights & Wiring — Slide or snap LEDs into the track, route wiring as directed in the guide, and connect to the controller.
Connect & Configure via App — Install the companion app on your phone or tablet, pair the controller, and set up zones, brightness, colors, schedules, and any custom scenes or themes.
Test & Enjoy — Run through color tests and timing schedules. Once satisfied, sit back and enjoy a professional-grade lighting system that’s all yours.
Need Help? — If you get stuck, our Utah-based support team is just a call or text away. We’re always happy to assist.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Basic homeowner tools — a tape measure, drill/screwdriver, ladder, and familiarity with common DIY tasks — are all that’s needed. The kit comes with all lighting components, tracks, and clear instructions.
Yes. Our LEDs and components are rated for outdoor use with sealed housings, designed to withstand snow, rain, sun, and winter/summer temperature swings — built for Utah climate.
We offer multiple track colors to best match your fascia or trim. This allows for a clean, subtle look during the day while hiding wiring effectively.
Can I still get professional support if I install it myself?
With proper installation and general care, the LEDs are rated to last over 50,000 hours. With standard use, that means many years of reliable performance.
Yes. The kits are modular. If you decide to add more trim, roofline, or accent lighting later on, you can purchase additional kits or components and integrate them seamlessly.
