FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Are the lights replaceable?

Yes. Each light is an individual unit and attaches to the other lights via weatherproof, threaded caps, so they are easily unscrewed, pulled out, and replaced.

Can the lights provide true warm white?

Yes! The LED must be RGB-WW and have a yellow “diode” to allow for true warm white–which ours do! Astoria’s lighting solutions go as low as 2700K. This sets us apart from others in the Permanent Christmas Lighting or Architectural Accent Lighting space as many do not offer a true warm white.

How do payments work?

We collect 25% down and then order your materials. The balance is due at installation by check, cash, card, or through our 3rd party financing partner. We make it as easy as possible for your budget!

How much electricity does it use?

The lights on full bright white use less than one watt of power. It’s little enough that you won’t notice a difference in your electricity usage.

Is it designed for extreme temperatures?

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.

What is the warranty?

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.

What is the cost per foot?

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 $22 to $26 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 $2,500 to $5,500 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.

Where are the lights installed?

The lights are installed to the outer part of the soffit behind the fascia or trim, facing downward.

Can I make my own accent lighting?

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.

Can I set my lights on timers?

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.

Where can the lights be controlled from?

With the Gemstone Lights HUB App, you can control your lights anywhere using our cloud technology. This means as long as your handheld device has an internet connection, you can be at work or anywhere in the world and turn on and off or change patterns remotely!

Are the lights UL listed & CSA/ETL approved?

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.

How long does the installation take?

Average-sized installations are done in one day. You only need to be there for the beginning and the end of the installation. We will coordinate with you when we schedule your installation.

Can I make my own patterns?

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.

Can you see the lights from the street?

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.

Are the lights dimmable?

Yes they are! Through the Gemstone Lights HUB app, you can control and dim all the lights or just a section of the lights to get your desired effect.

How long does the system last?

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!

How does the track hang?

Using the depth of the fascia on your home, we will hang it based on that specific depth. This allows us to create a low profile look that blends nicely into your home.

Transform Your Home with Exterior Architectural Lighting

Placement of Architectural Accent Lighting

Lighting modifies how people perceive your home’s attributes, such as its dimensions and surface texture. Let us design a lighting system that guides the viewer’s gaze, captivates viewers, and creates a dramatic impression.

Architectural lighting creates ambiance, imbuing your home with character. As your architectural lighting contractor, we can use different lighting techniques, like uplighting, downlighting, and moonlighting, to create a range of atmospheres.

Uplighting is a lighting technique that points the light beam upwards. The light source will be placed at the base of an object, such as a tree, statue, or architectural feature, to create a new view of your home at night.

In contrast, downlighting points a subtle light beam downwards and mimics the placement of natural light sources. Downlighting is an evocative architectural landscape lighting technique that can make walkways, driveways, and other areas safer and more beautiful after the sun sets.

Moonlighting is a type of downlighting that mimics the glow cast by the moon. We can place the lights to create a wide spread of soft, elegant light. Consult with us for different affects we can achieve on your property.

Light Color and Temperature

Placement is just one element of effective architectural outdoor lighting. Light color and temperature also create the mood.

Warm white light evokes a sense of intimacy and tranquility, while vibrant, colorful lighting can inject energy and excitement. The right combination of elements can transform your home into a mesmerizing showpiece that stirs emotions.

Personalize your home with services from an experienced architectural lighting company. We will use our skills and expertise to enhance the functionality and luxury of your outdoor spaces.

We customize our approach to facades, gardens, and gathering areas to create a one-of-a-kind finish. And we always install durable, high-performing lights so that you get the most service from your system with minimal maintenance.
