Permanent holiday lighting installs once, hides wires in a color‑matched track, delivers 16‑million‑color smart control year‑round, and—when you buy through Astoria Lighting Co—comes with lifetime‑covered bulbs, a 10‑year parts warranty, and a 3‑year labor warranty you won’t find with most other brands.

Permanent Holiday Lights vs. Standard Soffit or Architectural Lighting
| Feature | Standard Soffit / Accent Lights | Permanent Holiday Lighting |
| Purpose | Static, one‑color architectural wash | Accent and decorative shows for every holiday |
| Hardware | Individual recessed cans or tape lights | Sealed RGB‑WW LEDs in colored aluminum track |
| Visibility | Fixtures/lenses often visible | Track is color‑matched and hides wiring |
| Control | On/off wall switch or basic dimmer | Smartphone app, timers, sunrise/sunset, pattern library |
| Maintenance | Bulbs burn out; ladders frequently | 50 k‑hour LEDs, no re‑hanging |
Permanent systems sit under the soffit behind the fascia, shielding LEDs from weather and pests while giving you full color freedom—something traditional soffit cans can’t match. (jellyfishlighting.com, gemstonelights.com, astorialightingco.com)
In‑Track Advantage (Why “Professional” Matters)
Astoria offers a closed, color‑matched aluminum track that seals wiring from UV, moisture, and insects—unlike many DIY strips or open‑slot tracks that leave cables exposed. The result is a cleaner look today and fewer failures tomorrow. (astorialightingco.com, astorialightingco.com)
How Astoria Lighting Co Stands Out Among PHL Brands
Astoria vs. JellyFish vs. Trimlight at a Glance
- LED Lifespan – 50,000 hrs (Astoria) vs. 30,000 hrs (JellyFish) (astorialightingco.com)
- True Warm‑White Diode – Yes (Astoria/Gemstone) vs. RGB‑blend only (JellyFish, Trimlight) (astorialightingco.com)
- Track Design – Closed channel (Astoria) vs. Open slot (some JellyFish dealers) (astorialightingco.com)
- System Voltage – Low‑voltage, cooler LEDs (Astoria) vs. 48 V, hotter operation (JellyFish) (astorialightingco.com)
- Dealer Network – Local Astoria crews in multiple markets; same techs who install also service.
- Warranty – Lifetime bulbs + 10‑yr parts + 3‑yr labor (Astoria) vs. 5‑yr parts/1‑yr labor (JellyFish) and lifetime parts/1‑yr labor (Trimlight). (astorialightingco.com, jellyfishlighting.com, trimlight.com)
Bottom line: You get manufacturer‑level coverage and a dedicated local service team—something a factory‑only brand can’t match.
Where Gemstone Lights Fit In
Astoria is an authorized Gemstone Lights dealer, so you get the flagship RGB‑WW puck that industry insiders call the “gold standard” for true warm‑white accent plus party‑mode colors. Gemstone’s 50 k‑hour rating and lifetime warranty on lights keep replacement risk close to zero. (gemstonelights.com, astorialightingco.com)
Gemstone vs. “Similar” Products
- Optics: Individual lenses project a crisp halo instead of the dots you see with many strip‑style LEDs.
- App: Pattern builder, music sync, zone control, and cloud backup—features still catching up on several other platforms.
- Service Path: Because you buy Gemstone through Astoria, your lifetime lamp warranty is paired with Gemstone’s 10‑year “bumper‑to‑bumper” parts coverage and Astoria’s 3‑year onsite labor—one call solves it all. (astorialightingco.com)
Astoria’s Warranty & Long‑Term Reliability
| Coverage | Astoria Lighting Co | Trimlight | JellyFish |

Astoria also stocks replacement components in‑house for faster turnaround and offers a lifetime transferable bulb warranty that adds resale value when you sell your home. (astorialightingco.com)
