A Gemstone quote is a fair quote to gather. The lines below are the ones that decide how the system looks in daylight, how it behaves the other eleven months of the year, and who comes back out in year four. Ask every installer for these in writing, ours included. Our column is what goes in your written quote from Capital Pro Lighting.

Bring Your Written Estimate

Send us the estimate you already have. Photograph it or upload it with your quote request and we will read the layout, the light count, the controller setup, and the warranty language, then price the same house on our system.

We beat written estimates where we can, and if we cannot we tell you that instead of wasting your time.

What We Install Instead

InvisiLights, as an authorized dealer. Individually addressable RGBW LEDs at 12 inch spacing, seated in aluminum channel that we color match to your trim so the hardware reads as trim in daylight.

RGBW matters more than most spec sheets let on. A dedicated white diode means warm white is a real channel instead of red, green, and blue blended into something close to white. That is what makes the system usable most nights of the year, not only in December.

The Warranty Difference

Track mounted InvisiLights installs from Capital Pro Lighting carry a lifetime parts warranty plus a 3 year labor warranty on the installation. Trackless carries 3 years on parts and 3 years on labor.

A labor warranty covers the installation work we performed. If a mount, a run, a connection, or a channel we installed fails, we come back out and make it right at no charge for the length of that warranty.

Questions To Ask Any Installer

Ask whether the lights are RGB or RGBW, how far apart the lights sit, whether the channel is color matched to your trim, exactly what the parts warranty covers and for how long, and whether labor is covered separately from parts.

Ask who comes back out if something fails in year four, and whether that is the installer or a call center. We are local, we have been doing this for 10 years, and the person who quotes your house is the person who stands behind it.

What It Costs Here

Track mounted starts around $2,500 and runs $29+ per linear foot. Trackless InvisiClips starts around $2,000 at roughly $20 per linear foot.

Price moves with linear feet of roofline, number of stories, access, and how many controllers the layout needs. Financing is available through Wisetack, and we offer a military discount.

Inside The InvisiLights System

InvisiLights' published product specs, on the system we install and stand behind.

RGBW, Not Just RGB

InvisiLights uses a dedicated white channel alongside red, green, and blue, so warm white looks like real warm white instead of three colors blended together.

IP68 Rated

Dustproof and water resistant, which matters on a Capital Region roofline that sees ice in January and sun in July.

73 Built-In Presets

The app ships with 73 preset looks, and you can build and save unlimited presets of your own.

Scheduling

Set daily, weekly, or monthly schedules with the on and off hours you want. Set it once and forget it.

Light Segments

Control sections of the roofline separately for alternating colors, patterns, and movement.

Security Modes

Several security lighting modes keep the dark edges of the house lit without running a floodlight all night.

Common Questions

Do you install Gemstone?

No. We are an authorized InvisiLights dealer, and InvisiLights is the system we install and stand behind. If you are comparing quotes, send us yours and we will price the same house on our system.

Will you beat a Gemstone estimate?

Send us the written estimate and we will beat it where we can. We look at the layout, the light count, the controller setup, and the warranty terms, then quote your house directly.

What warranty do I get with you?

Track installs carry a lifetime parts warranty plus a 3 year labor warranty on the installation. Trackless carries 3 years on parts and labor. Every job uses UL listed lights.

Do I need a home visit to get a price?

No. We price most homes from photos and satellite measurements, then confirm on a short phone or video call. If the roofline is complicated we come look before we install.

Where do you install permanent lighting?

Albany, Schenectady, Clifton Park, Saratoga Springs, Troy, Rensselaer, and out through the Capital Region, Hudson Valley, and points north. Call or text (518) 900-1912.

Can I use the lights year round?

That is the point of the system. Warm white on a normal night, red and green in December, orange in October, team colors on game day, and schedules so it runs on its own.
