Our permanent holiday and architectural lighting system from Gemstone Lights is the premium product in this space. We offer brighter LED lights, true warm-white capabilities, a closed track system, individually addressable lights, and many other important features that our competitors do not offer. It is priced according to how much linear feet you want installed on your home, plus a Wi-Fi controller and power supply system, rather than on the square footage of the home, and the length of rooflines can vary dramatically for houses of similar size. Because of this, we have to measure your roofline in order to give you an accurate quote.

However, as a guide, we typically run in the $20 to $28 dollar per linear foot range—plus $250-450 for controllers and power supplies–depending on the time of the year, as we frequently offer pricing promotions during the Spring and Summer months to encourage our customers to get their systems installed outside of the busy fall holiday season. Most of our jobs fall into the $2500 to $5500 range—sold, installed, and warrantied, with all taxes and fees included—to put lighting where customers would typically hang their Christmas lights. We offer great payment options that allow you to spread out the cost over time, resulting in significant savings versus hanging traditional Christmas lights, installing pot or can lighting, or otherwise improving the look of your home.

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–which ours do!

Yes! The lights are individually addressable which 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.

Yes! Each light is individually addressable, meaning 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. 

We install the lights in a 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 unnoticeable from the street unless you are looking for them.

Yes, 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 features.

Yes! Each light and connection has an IP 65 Waterproof rating and can operate at -40° F to 130°+F. All connections and wires are UV rated and will be able to last if ever exposed to long periods of sunlight (which they will not be as they are installed under the roofline). The track is made out of aluminum which is durable and won’t rust or degrade–the same material your gutters are made from.

Gemstone Lights LEDs are rated for 50,000 hours. It 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!

Astoria Lighting Co provides a 10-year “bumper-to-bumper” warranty on installed Permanent Holiday Lights, plus a Limited Lifetime Warranty on all bulbs in your permanent holiday lighting system. Additionally, we offer a 3-year service warranty on labor. 

Yes! The lights are ETL certified in the USA and Canada. Most low-voltage lighting companies are under the impression that they do not need proper CSA approvals for lighting if it is low voltage. This is incorrect and as a consumer, you should make sure that the product you are purchasing is indeed approved. You will see our ETL stamp of approval on our products.

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

Our Gemstone Lights are the best and brightest in the permanent holiday lighting space! Each light emits 23 lumens per lamp (light). Each of our lights actually has 3 separate LEDs in each light, and each LED is RGB-WW. Many other products in this space only have one LED and so only provide one third of the brightness, in the 7-8 lumen range. Make sure you aren’t getting a system with 1 LED light for the price of our premium, 3 LED lights!

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.

No, Gemstone Lights requires that certified and trained technicians install their system to ensure uniform quality and optimum performance. 

Firmware updates to the WiFi controller are pushed out as needed. You will have the option to install them when you access the system through the Gemstone Lights HUB app. The app is always being improved and having new features added. These update through your phone’s app store.

The controller and any additional power supplies are included in an attractive, weatherproof “Starter Kit” that is installed either indoor or outdoor, depending on location and what is best for you and where the lights are being installed. The controller and power supply are plugged into a regular 120v outlet, typically the one in the garage where your sprinkler system is installed. From there, we run low voltage, 12v wiring through the system.

There is no regular maintenance needed outside of the updates to the firmware and app that Gemstone Lights pushes out.
