Similar, I submitted my request last night, and the guy came by this morning. Got the quote within an hour of that. Didn't say the total linear footage that they're estimating, but came in higher than I was expecting. Now decisions.

I measured mine when I was cleaning windows in the fall so I had a rough idea.

[Doozer]

Yeah, I did some rough measurement last summer but they outlined way more than I did. It would certainly look more finished the way they've suggested but adds a lot more feet.

[Doozer]

Well, getting installed today.

Excited to see how things look tonight, just too bad we're at the apex of the longest days of the year so it'll be 11pm before I can really play with them!

[schurchill39]

I'm getting Gemstone installed today too. Buddy has an impressive mullet.

So what's the consensus on pricing? Which one is better and cheaper? Thinking about it, but someone in here said it was like 5k for what sounds like not much.....

[mr2mike]

I'm under $800 all in.
Budget ballin' hard on this diy.

Thread on sources, materials, etc coming soon.

Which ones better is hard to say but we went gemstones and it was $4300 ish(after a small discount for delay)for the front and back which was about 200 lin/ft if i remember right. For the Gemstones get quotes from all their dealers as the price is all over the place, one dealer was 7k i think. I ended up using kinetic as the dealer/installer

[Doozer]

If you're going to do it, now is the wrong time. I did mine with Gemstone in June, and you're likely to get a better price from anyone then. They said they were doing ~10 houses a day then, and in Oct/Nov/Dec it's like 30 houses a day.

Week out for installations at beginning of October for Gemstone.

Very interested in seeing some info on this. I started to do some research on doing it myself over the summer and decided to put it off as a next year project due to a lack of time.

Id be curious if the rates did go up a lot at this time, you'd think they would because now is prime time. They do free quotes so get a few and if theyre charging you 21ish lin/ft and $225 for a controller then thats about norm. They will also negotiate.

Sounds good. I'll give you all my tips and info. Just finished today. Still need to run conduit in garage and wire up the box.
Damn over estimated the # of LED's by 100.
Or the aliexpress guy just wanted to oversell and has that built into the calculator.

I am looking to put some outdoor trim lights on my house. That way I can get away with not spending money every year on putting the Christmas lights up and taking them down.
I got quote from the following two,
1) Trim Lights (https://www.trimlight.com/) BavarianBeast used to own this company.
The guy came to do the quote on my house wasn't prepared at all. He wasn't able to explain the product and the App they use is a 3rd party app. He wasn't able to demonstrate the app. Their product comes with 10 Yr warranty.

2) Gem Stones Lights (http://gemstonelights.com/)
One of my neighbors has this installed on their house. It is very low profile. It looks pretty good.
The guy who came to do the quote was very professional and able to explain everything about their product. He also pointed out the difference between them and Trim Lights.
They use their own app. Lights comes with 3 Yr Warranty.

The Price difference between the two products is about 30%.

My question is has anyone here installed these lights on your home? If so can your share your experience?

Thanks

Was the best price for me.

Turned out great on my place

They are fully adjustable, any colour, any brightness, you can control each individual light, animate, scheduling, fully customizable.

Was 35% less than gemstone.

curious to see what you ended up with for mounting channels, i used J channel, definitely not the cleanest install but unless you're looking for it you wouldn't even notice/

Still need to do my 2nd floor but i wanna make sure i have all my ducks in a row for that one because i'm gonna have to rent a man bucket.

Personally not a fan of these trim lights. Looks tacky imo. Prefer just og can soffit downlighting.

it beats fugly xmas lights clipped on your gutters

[Bytem3]

While super convenient I don’t like these lights, makes your house look like a mini casino

Xmas lights are random looking and there’s a ton of variations from house to house

A street full of gemstone equipped homes… meh, they all look the same
