Ego makes good stuff. I have the mid level snowblower. I'm a fan.

Compressor in the shop fridge packed it in, so the kitchen gets an upgrade and the garage gets the hand-me-down.

Every LED has a 50,000 hr lifespan, none have lasted a 1/4 that long. 5 years is alright, still seems like a ludicrous amount of money for Christmas lights, but I can see the appeal as I get older.

Yeh, I’m sick of putting up lights every year.

Do you know how many linear ft you got for that? We went gemstone a couple months ago and it was 4800 for front and back 215ft. If anyone is looking at gemstones their prices vary huge within their list of distributors, we had one quote as high as $6700 for the same 215ft

It doesn’t mention linear feet but for reference, gemstone was over $4k

Also Watts offered to do full wrap to end of each peak on my house at the front. Some of the front peaks side run 1/3 of the way on the sides of the home.

Gemstone only did 6’ wraps, Watts went to the very end for me.

My house has 9 front edges and 8 sides to complete the full front half of the home.

Interesting - mind sharing who you used / quoted from? I'm interested as well for the same reasons; hate hate hate putting christmas lights up, but wife wants to see lights every year.

I'm in the same boat - wife and kids love lights, but there's zero chance I'm putting them up.

I'd probably look at it differently if we were in our forever home, but I can't justify the permanent LED cost. I found the right middle ground is paying someone to put them up / take them down every year. I think the cost was ~$250 for up & down and the lights themselves were ~$200. Sure, I can't make my house pink on Valentine's day or any of the other cheesy use cases, but I also give less than zero fucks about that too. So, win-win...

Those Gem Stone lights GMG's.

Tons on our street and everyone has to justify paying big $$'s for them by running them every single night on some different colour setting. Queen dies, lets run them blue-red-white flashing for a week! Yaaa!

Gem Stone lights will be viewed as "very 2020" in the not-too-distant future.

[Euro_Trash]

Gemstones are one of the best purchases we made for our house, no ragrets

[JfuckinC]

I don't think so. They're pretty nice if you don't use tacky fluctuating colors.
