Why Permanent Led Soffit Lighting Rocks!

Lighting plays a pivotal role in setting the ambiance and enhancing the overall aesthetics of your home. While traditional lighting options have charm, there's a new, exciting option for lighting that makes a statement and saves homeowners tons of time!

This new type of lighting is exterior LED soffit lighting, specifically Gemstone Lights. These lights are also known as permanent Christmas lights or permanent holiday lights. Gemstone Lights started in Calgary and provides a unique experience for the thousands of homes and business owners who have had them installed across Canada.

Keep reading to learn everything there is to know about Gemstone Lights, including how to get them and the cost of installing them on your home.

What are Gemstone Lights?

Gemstone Lights are LED track lights installed on your home's soffits in colour-matched tracks. You can choose from over 16 million light colours and control the lights with an easy-to-use app. There are plenty of patterns, speeds, and brightness levels to create the right vibe for your home. During the day, the lights blend in, but at night, you can illuminate your home however you like and change it up as often as you want.

Here are a few ideas of how to use your Gemstone Lights:

  • Backyard BBQ? Warm white with a slow twinkle will set the mood.
  • Halloween? Flashing orange and purple lights will entertain the trick-or-treaters.
  • Is your favourite sports team playing? Gemstone's HUB app has preset patterns with your team's colours ready to go. Just select your team and set them as bright as you can!

Do you want more customization? No problem! You can address each bulb individually, lighting specific sections of your home or highlighting key architectural features.

The app is simple and easy to use, connects to your Wi-Fi, and lets you schedule your lights to make your home look beautiful and more secure.

The best part? Since these lights are permanent (50,000 hours of life) and weatherproof, you’ll never need to climb up on a ladder to hang holiday or Christmas lights ever again!

How does the installation of Gemstone Lights on your soffits work?

Only authorized dealers of Gemstone Lights can install them. Kraun Electric is an authorized dealer, and we complete Gemstone Light installations across southern Ontario. The LED soffit light installation process is quite simple. Our electricians and installers, trained by Gemstone Lights in Calgary, will help you choose the right colour track (150 colours) to fit perfectly with your home. The installers will trim and form the tracks to fit on your home's soffits, seamlessly blending right in

Once the lights are installed, the control box is connected to your house and wired to your electrical panel. Other Gemstone installers often have to bring in a third-party contractor to complete the electrical elements of this work. Fortunately, our in-house licensed electricians can complete this work. This will guarantee you an unparalleled level of service and workmanship that you can rely on.

Following the physical install, we will connect the system, the Wi-Fi, and the app, then teach you how to use it so you can enjoy your new lights right away.
