# Permanent Christmas & Holiday Lights — Gemstone Lights by Baer Electric

> Permanent Christmas lights are holiday lights that stay installed year-round in a hidden track along your roofline and switch on from your phone. With Gemstone, the same lights do Christmas, Halloween, Canada Day, Valentine's, New Year's Eve and game nights, and free Autopilot calendars can change the scene for you automatically.

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.

## Highlights

- **No ladders, no tangles:** The lights live in the track year-round. No clips, no extension cords across the lawn, no taking them down in January.
- **Autopilot holiday calendars:** Free calendars for Christmas and other holidays — including a Canada calendar — switch your scene on automatically.
- **Game day:** 125+ team folders with home and away filters, so the house can cheer on its own.
- **Countdowns & animations:** New Year's countdown playlists, a Fireworks animation, Glitter and Sway for Christmas, Pyramid Chase for Halloween.
- **Warm white the rest of the year:** When the holidays are over, the same lights become everyday architectural lighting.
- **Change it from anywhere:** Switch scenes from the app at home or away, or with Alexa and Google Home for on/off and colour.

## Uses

- **Christmas:** Classic red, green and white, a warm candlelight white, or Gemstone's Advent folder counting down to the 25th.
- **Halloween:** Orange, purple and green with chase and glitch animations — paired with flood lights on the trees for full effect.
- **Valentine's Day:** Pinks and reds on a rotating playlist on February 14th.
- **New Year's Eve:** A countdown playlist and a Fireworks animation to ring it in.
- **Canada Day:** Red and white on July 1st, scheduled to switch on at sunset.
- **The other 300 nights:** Warm white architectural lighting that makes the house look finished every evening.

## Frequently asked questions

### What are permanent Christmas lights?

Smart LED lights installed permanently in a colour-matched track under your eaves. They stay up all year, are hard to see during the day, and you control them from an app — so they work as Christmas lights in December and as everyday or holiday lighting the rest of the year.

### Are they only for Christmas?

No. Gemstone lights do 16 million+ colours and a dedicated warm white, so the same system covers Halloween, Canada Day, Valentine's, New Year's, game nights and everyday accent lighting.

### Can it switch scenes automatically?

Yes. Gemstone's Autopilot lets you subscribe to free holiday and sports calendars, and the lights change on their own. You can also set sunset-to-sunrise timers.

### When should I book for Christmas?

As early as you can. October to December is the busiest install season, and Gemstone notes lead times get longer then. Booking in late summer or early fall is ideal.

### Do they work in the cold?

Gemstone was founded in Calgary to build a system for harsh prairie winters. The lights are IP67 waterproof and tucked into the track, out of the wind and snow.
