Everyday architectural lighting

A soft warm white that shows off the lines of your home every evening, with colour saved for when you want it.

Light the house, not just the holidays

Most nights, permanent lights do a quieter job. Each Gemstone roofline light has its own warm white diode (2800K to 3000K), so everyday light looks like porch light, and every light dims anywhere from 0 to 100%.

Every light is individually addressable too. You can brighten the peaks, soften the eaves, or space the light out to suit your home. Gemstone's May 2026 app update added Everyday Autopilot calendars that run a white look on their own on nights without a holiday.

Colour ideas

  • Perfect warm white

    The everyday default. Warm, soft and easy on the eyes.

  • Bright white

    Crisper light when you want the house to stand out.

  • Warm white with a little movement

    Gemstone suggests the Starry or Sway animation for subtle movement.

Questions

Everyday lighting questions

Facts from Gemstone Lights' architectural lighting page, Custom Design guide and May 2026 app notes.

Will it look like holiday lights?

No. Each light has a dedicated warm white diode, so on a normal night it looks like soft architectural light rather than a string of Christmas bulbs.

Can it come on by itself every night?

Yes. Set a sunset-to-sunrise timer, or subscribe to one of Gemstone's Everyday Autopilot calendars on the Hub2 controller.

Will it bother the neighbours?

Gemstone describes its roofline lighting as a low-voltage, downward light that shows off your home without disrupting nearby homes.

Can I light the peaks differently from the eaves?

Yes. Gemstone's Custom Design tool lets you pick single lights or groups, and you can run up to 4 zones with their own patterns at the same time.
