Spoiler: Yes—you can do all of this from your phone, in millions of colors, and the track disappears into your fascia when the lights are off!
1 Can I control sections or zones separately?
Absolutely. The Gemstone Lights HUB app includes a Zone Manager that lets you break your roofline into named zones (e.g., “Garage,” “Gables,” “Patio”) and run different colours, patterns, or schedules on each one. Creating a zone takes a few taps and can be adjusted any time. (gemstonelights.com)
Pro tip: Use zones to illuminate only the side yard when guests arrive or to highlight architectural peaks while leaving dormers off for subtle curb appeal.
2 Are the lights dimmable, and how many colours can they produce?
Each RGB‑WW pixel houses red, green, blue and true warm‑white diodes, giving you 16 million colours and a full tunable‑white range (≈2800 K–7000 K). Brightness is steplessly dimmable (1 – 100 %) inside the app, so you can go from “neighbour‑stopping” holiday displays to a soft evening glow with one slider.

3 Can the individual bulbs be replaced if one goes out?
Yes. Every light is threaded into the aluminium track with a compression‑fit waterproof connector, so technicians can twist out a single pixel and drop in a new one in minutes—no rewiring, no pulling the whole strand. Replacement parts are covered under Gemstone’s product warranty and Astoria’s service warranty. (gemstonelights.com, gemstonelights.com)
4 Does the system come with a remote control or an app?
The primary controller is the Gemstone Lights HUB2 cloud app (iOS & Android). Login once and you can:
- set timers (up to 62),
- choose or build animations,
- fine‑tune whites for architectural lighting, and
- control the lights from anywhere with internet or Bluetooth. (gemstonelights.com, gemstonelights.com, play.google.com)
5 Can I choose/customise the colour of each light?
You sure can. Pixels are individually addressable, so you can paint a candy‑cane pattern, tune your colors to a UT “Burnt Orange” on game day, or turn only the porch corner amber for bug‑friendly summer nights. The HUB app’s colour wheel and hexadecimal input give pixel‑level control. (gemstonelights.com, youtube.com)
6 Is this just for the holidays, or can it be used year‑round?
Gemstone was engineered for both. Because the system has an independent warm‑white diode, you’re not mixing RGB to fake a white—the result is a crisp, energy‑efficient architectural accent light that can wash eaves, outline peaks, or highlight stonework 365 days a year. Holiday shows are only a preset away. (gemstonelights.com, lightsbydesignco.com)
7 What are the spacing options, and how customisable is spacing?
Track pixels are factory‑calibrated at 9 inches apart—the distance Gemstone found delivers even illumination without “blow‑out” hotspots. While spacing itself isn’t altered, the aluminium track is custom‑cut on‑site to fit your roofline, so corners, peaks, and transitions remain seamless and invisible by day.
