Never hang Christmas lights again
Gemstone's permanent Christmas lights are the same lights you use all year. When December comes, you pick from more than 14,000 ready-made patterns or design your own, and the house changes in a tap. There are no ladders, no tangled cords and nothing to plug in.
The whole idea started with Christmas. Gemstone's founder, Tate Leavitt, set up the company in 2016 after getting sick of hanging his own Christmas lights.
Subscribe to Christmas Autopilot and the house decorates itself for the season. There's a Christmas Advent Calendar folder you can schedule to count down the days, and Gemstone has its own idea for Christmas Eve: a runway of lights for Santa.

Questions
Christmas light questions
Facts from Gemstone Lights' permanent Christmas lights page, FAQ and holiday lighting guide.
Can I use them after Christmas?
Yes. They're the same lights you use all year for warm white, other holidays and game days.
Do I have to change the patterns myself?
No. Subscribe to Christmas Autopilot and the patterns change on their own. You can still change them by hand any time.
Is this the same as Christmas light installation?
Not quite. A seasonal installer hangs lights in the fall and takes them down after the holidays, every year. Permanent Christmas lights go up once and stay, so each December comes down to a few taps in the app.
When should I book?
Gemstone says the holiday season is its busiest time of year and wait times can be longer, so it's best to ask for a quote sooner rather than later.
