Weighing Gemstone means you already care how the system looks at noon, not just at night. That comes down to the channel — the aluminum on your fascia — and how it's matched, mounted and wired.

By day it has to pass as trim.
Eleven months a year, permanent lighting is a strip of aluminum on your fascia — so the channel decides whether the house looks upgraded or gadgety. Ours is color-matched to the trim from a swatch fan we bring to the quote, corners are cut clean, and the wiring never leaves the channel.
Judge every bidder the same way: ask for addresses, then do the noon drive-past. If you can spot the system from the street in daylight, keep shopping. Our gallery is all real local homes, photographed exactly as installed.
The parts that stay on your house all year.
Permanent lighting is a daytime product eleven months of the year — whatever you buy stays on the fascia through every barbecue and every listing photo. So compare the part nobody demos: the channel. What metal is it, what color arrives on the truck, how do corners get cut, where does the wire run. The list below is what we'd want in writing from anyone, us included.

Is Sparkled Lighting a good alternative to Gemstone Lights?
Yes — and compare us where it counts, in daylight. Sparkled's aluminum channel is color-matched to your trim from a swatch fan we bring to the quote, the wiring runs concealed inside it, and the pucks are IP68-sealed in a system that is UL Listed in the US and Canada. The nighttime show is the easy part; the daytime disappearing act is the craft.
How do Sparkled's prices compare to Gemstone Lights?
Gemstone installs are quoted by local dealers, so the honest answer is: gather the bid. Ours is published — $2,000 to start, $3,500–$6,000 for most Utah homes — and it itemizes the channel, the controller and every jump instead of burying them in one number. Put the two side by side with the same roofline measured. Full ranges on the pricing page.
Will I see the channel in the daytime?
You'll see trim. The channel sits where a trim line already lives, in a finish matched to your fascia — stocked colors for most homes, custom matching when yours is unusual. The proof is a drive-past: ask us for addresses of nearby installs and go look at noon. Most people can't find the channel until we point at it.
