I thought the same thing, but when you don't see the lights, it doesn't look as good. You can't see the source of the light which really adds to the affects.

@@aklighting8292 maybe by making the bulbs retractable? But then you start introducing mechanical failure .... 🤔
@@aklighting8292 Adam do you have a trick how to tone down/dim spotlights? All my path lights and spot lights are on one run, the spotlight and path lights at the house turned out perfect but I’m trying to highlight a few Saguaros(cactus) in the yard and the lowest lumen lights I could find are still to bright. Thanks 🍻
@@stoney-wan There are a couple things you can do. 1. put a frosted lens www.voltlighting.com/mr16-frosted-lens 2. Put a dimmer on your lights. amzn.to/3A9eIv2
I'm not a fan of the dots of light on the outside of the front of a house. Maybe in the back area it would be okay but I'm more of a wash of light kind of girl. They were beautifully mounted though! Thanks for the video! It's always good to know what's out on the market.
You can select individual emitters, illuminate just the corners, the eaves, etc. Down wash over the garage, key architectural features, etc. Ours are installed behind the fascia board so the individual emitters are hidden from direct view.
Hi Adam Awesome lights , so technically this lights can be installed on the front of the front of the fascia , it will be more visible in the morning but it will be showing better from every angle , what’s your thoughts
Everyone has their own preference. Some people think its looks like Christmas/casino light, and many other absolutely love it. Find whatever you love and go with that.
I love this concept and I'm definitely in the market to do it, but I cringed when you said you ran the power up the downspout... Maybe because I live in Colorado, but cleaning out and replacing downspouts is a regular chore. No matter the location, I just can't imagine running power to a permanent fixture through a somewhat disposable utility. Hell, even painting a house a different color often includes new gutters. Just my two cents on an otherwise nice job.
Great Video your gemstone video are very educational. Do you have to use any kind of booster for data when you have a long hop form one section to the other?
Great question. I guess a three reasons come to mind. 1. The audio cable is easier to use and doesn't get tangled or caught on things. 2. The audio cable has color coated wires. If you mix them up the system won't work. 3. I don't think landscape wire is "certified", or whatever that term is, for anything other than direct burial.
@@aklighting8292 thank you so much for responding so fast!!! I am a AV guy and structured cabling. I love being able to pull wire from a box rather than off the roll. Which I’m sure you understand. I’ve made great money with lights lately and it saved my business. Thank you so much for the inspiration and instructions. God bless you and your business
@@aaronlynn1005 I completly agree with the box...well until it gets tangled up inside it for no reason! haha. Glad it saved your business! Happy to help! Good luck with everything. If you ever need anything email me.
Just curious about installer’s because I’ve been installing gemstone lately. Is it normal in the industry for u or anyone installing to only have one guy installing each house.
Thank you I’m learning from you
I think it would be cool if they designed it to where you didn’t see the actual light/bulb. Awesome job awesome channel 🍻

Hi , thnaks for the video, is it consuming a lot of electricity ?
Hi Adam
Awesome lights , so technically this lights can be installed on the front of the front of the fascia , it will be more visible in the morning but it will be showing better from every angle , what’s your thoughts
I suppose it is a good option if you want your home to look like a Vegas casino?
Everyone has their own preference. Some people think its looks like Christmas/casino light, and many other absolutely love it. Find whatever you love and go with that.
😂
What are you charging like $25 per fooot?
I notice the video of this house also shows some uplights beside the garage and the front window. Where they part of the install or another project?

Why use audio cable rather than the traditional landscape cable? New guy to the industry
Great question. I guess a three reasons come to mind.
1. The audio cable is easier to use and doesn't get tangled or caught on things.
2. The audio cable has color coated wires. If you mix them up the system won't work.
3. I don't think landscape wire is "certified", or whatever that term is, for anything other than direct burial.

@@takenursht8701 I typically have two people. But this is a good question. I would like to see what everyone else is doing
Who does this in Houston????
www.gemstonelights.com/location/usa Type in your zip code.
JellyFish Lights in Houston! smaller track, brighter lights!
@@57bmccarty Jelly fish is also a great option. They aren't brighter, and I personally like Gemstone better, but
3 straight "install" videos with zero info on how to install them.
