Hanging Christmas lights in northwest Saskatchewan usually means a ladder, an icy roof edge, and a box of strings that worked last year. Permanent lights skip all of it: they go up once, stay up, and you turn Christmas on from the kitchen.
Because Gemstone lights do millions of colours and a true warm white, they aren't just for December. Run orange and purple for Halloween, red and white for Canada Day, your team's colours on game night, and plain warm white the rest of the year.
Gemstone's Autopilot can do the scheduling for you: subscribe to the Christmas, holiday and sports calendars (including a Canada calendar) and the right scene comes on at sunset.

Warranty
Built to outlast prairie winters.
Gemstone backs its systems with one of the strongest warranties in permanent lighting.
Lifetime
on the lights
Lifetime is defined by the manufacturer's testing: an estimated 50,000-hour lifespan, which is about 20 years at 7 hours a day. Coverage doesn't depend on how many hours you actually run them.
10 yrs
on all other parts
Power kits, controllers, cables, connectors and track are covered for 10 years.
1 yr
labour
Service charges are covered for the first year after installation. Baer Electric is local, so service calls are a short drive away.
The warranty must be registered within 30 days of installation. It can be transferred once to a new homeowner within the 10-year period (up to 2 years of remaining coverage) if the transfer is completed within 90 days of possession. Terms from Gemstone Lights, effective October 1, 2024.

We couldn't be happier with the work Baer Electric did installing our Gemstone Lights! From start to finish, the experience was seamless and professional. He was punctual, courteous, and incredibly knowledgeable about the product and the installation process. The final result is stunning — our home looks amazing both day and night. What really stood out was Baer Electric's attention to detail and commitment to making sure everything was perfect before finishing the job. He also took the time to walk us through how to use the app and customize our lighting, which we really appreciated.
