Gemstone Permanent Lights is a Canadian-rooted permanent outdoor lighting brand with strong dealer presence in the Mountain West and parts of the Central Valley. The system uses individually-controlled RGBIC LEDs in a track that runs under the eave or along architectural trim.
Where Gemstone visually differs: the track profile sits slightly more visible during the day than the Jellyfish RGBIC-RD aluminum channel we install, which color-matches your trim and tucks tighter under the soffit. Whether that matters is a curb-appeal question — both systems essentially disappear from forty feet away, but inspection from the driveway tells a different story.
On the technology side, Gemstone is a current-generation system with a competent app and 100+ presets. Jellyfish RGBIC-RD has slightly finer pixel pitch (better gradients), 200+ presets, and integrates with Control4 and Nice Elan. For homeowners with a smart home, that integration is the deciding factor.
Honest summary: if Gemstone has a great local installer near you, it is a real option. In Fresno, we install Jellyfish, full 5-year warranty, 5-year LED, 7-day refund. Pick whichever you can hold accountable in year four.
