what is gemstone lighting?

gemstone lights–a permanent, color-changing, LED lighting system for the exteriors of homes and businesses. It is capable of everything from nightly accent lighting that mimics recessed can or pot lighting, to providing different colors and patterns of Christmas lights for every night of the holiday season. With it, you can easily light up your hope to celebrate all occasions, like Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Easter, patriotic holidays, Halloween, Birthday Parties, and more!

are soft white and soft yellow options available for when we are not in holiday season?

yes as low as 2700K. it is true that other products on the market in the permanent christmas lighting space do not offer a true warm white. the LED must be RGB-WW and have a yellow “diode” to allow for true warm white, gemstone lighting is just that.

how long will the system last?

gemstone lights LEDs are rated for 50,000 hours. this is a robust, outdoor rated LED lighting system that you can expect to last for years and years! we expect 10-20 years depending on usage–one installation, one investment, and many, many years with all of your lighting needs met.

what is the warranty?

all parts are covered for 5 years by gemstone lights, but the lights are rated for 50,000 hours so it will likely be a while before you need to see us again.

how many patterns can I create?

the lights are RGB-WW and can produce millions of different colors, including different warmths of white. you can create custom programs and colors, so the possibilities are limitless

can I control the front and back of my home/business separately?

yes, we can connect separate wifi controllers to different parts of the house, which allows for the ability to only turn on certain sections of lights or to have different patterns on different parts of your home at the same time.

what is the cost of gemstone lighting?

the system typically costs ~$25-35 per linear foot installed, most of our jobs are in the $2500 to $5500 range altogether–sold, installed and warrantied, with all taxes and fees included. the price per foot is primarily roof transitions and depths. our cost is consistent year round and does not increase based on demand or season.

do you offer financing?

we do offer financing on residential projects up to $250,000. financing is subject to standard credit approval. 0% APR promotional financing is available. click here to learn more

can I create my own color patterns?

yes! you control each single light and how it behaves. this allows you to choose which lights you want on and what color you want them to be, and join them together in different patterns and animations. there are millions of different colors that you can make! we also have hundreds of preset patterns and animations already in our app for you.

can I design my own accent or architectural lighting?

yes! the lights are individually addressable which means you can choose which lights you want on and what color you want them to be (anything from bright white to warm white or any color in the spectrum). for example, you can turn on lights at the top of each peak and over corners and columns, while the rest of the lights stay off, to provide nightly accents for your home. our competitors do not offer this customizability.

can you see the lights from the street/road?

we install the lights in a closely color-matched aluminum track, made out of the same material that your gutters are made from. we depth-match the track to the way your soffit is built, so that the lights slightly protrude from the track below the fascia. they are not noticeable from the street unless you are looking for them. (they will pass the hoa sniff test!)

do I have to turn them on daily?

you can save multiple nightly & weekly timers as well as calendar events for holidays and other special occasions. you can have them set by hour, or use the sunrise and sunset feature in the app.do I have to turn them on daily?
