Gemstone Lights
FAQs
Are Gemstone Lights visible during the day?
The track is low profile and colour matched to your soffit, so from most viewing angles Gemstone Lights are very discreet in daylight, much like accent lighting you’d find in a gallery. People usually notice the effect at night more than the hardware during the day.
Can I change colours and patterns easily?
Yes, you control Gemstone Lights through a mobile app. You can choose colours, create patterns, adjust brightness, and save presets for holidays or everyday use with just a few taps on your phone.
Do Gemstone Lights work all year in Canadian weather?
These outdoor lights are built to withstand year-round Canadian weather, from heavy snow and rain to dramatic temperature changes. The entire system, including all components and track, stays installed permanently while you control how frequently to operate them.
What kind of maintenance is required for Gemstone Lights?
Most homeowners do very little maintenance. Occasionally you may want to wipe dust or cobwebs from soffit areas and make sure gutters stay clear. If you ever notice an issue, you can contact the installer for diagnosis and support.
Can you add lights to other areas like patios or soffits later?
Yes, in many cases additional zones can be added to patios, soffits over decks, or other structures after the initial install. Your system can often be expanded so your lighting grows with your outdoor spaces.
How energy efficient are Gemstone Lights compared to traditional lights?
Gemstone Lights use LED technology, so they typically draw less power than many older exterior fixtures or seasonal strands. You can also reduce brightness or adjust schedules to keep usage very reasonable.
Can I run Gemstone Lights in warm white only, not colours?
Absolutely. Many clients use a soft warm white scene for most evenings and then switch to colours for holidays or events. The system is flexible, so you can keep things subtle if that fits your home and neighbourhood.
Do Gemstone Lights work if my Wi Fi goes down?
The controller is installed on your property and continues to run saved schedules even if the internet connection drops. App features that depend on remote access may pause until your network is restored.
How long does a typical Gemstone Lights installation take?
Most single family homes are completed within a day or two, depending on roofline length and design complexity. Larger or more intricate projects may take longer, and your quote will include a realistic time estimate.
What happens if a light or section stops working?
Gemstone Lights systems are modular. If a section has an issue, the installer can usually replace only the affected component or run instead of the full system, which helps keep repairs focused and efficient.
