Gemstone vs Trimlight vs A Local Installer
Most homeowners here price two or three of the national names and then talk to somebody local. That is the right way to do it. This page lays out the lines that decide how the system looks in daylight, how it behaves the other eleven months, and who comes back out in year four. Ask all of us for these in writing, Capital Pro Lighting included.

Why We Do Not Publish Their Specs
Dealer terms, warranty language, and pricing change by market and by year. Anything we printed about another company would be out of date and unfair to them.
So the comparison below gives you the questions instead of their answers. Get theirs in writing, put ours next to it, and the decision makes itself.
Where We Sit
Capital Pro Lighting is an installer of Permanent Track Lighting. Individually addressable RGBW LEDs on Signature Track at 12 inch intervals, or Elite Track at 9 inch intervals, in aluminum channel color matched to your trim.
Track installs carry a 10 year warranty on parts and components, lifetime coverage on the lights, and a 10 year labor warranty on the installation. Trackless carries 5 years on parts and 3 years on labor. Every job uses UL listed lights.
Signature Track Or Elite Track
Signature Track Lighting gives you a premium, polished line of light with fixtures set at 12 inch intervals. Elite Track Lighting is our highest density layout, set at 9 inch intervals, so the roofline reads as one continuous glow. Both are app controlled and carry the same warranty.

Inside Our Permanent Lighting Systems
Specifications for the permanent lighting systems we install and stand behind.
RGBW, Not Just RGB
Our system 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 or Trimlight?
No. We are an installer of Permanent Track Lighting, and that is the system we install and stand behind.
Which system is best?
The one whose spacing, white channel, warranty, and service story hold up in writing. Ask all three for those four lines and compare them side by side.
Will you match another company's price?
Send the written estimate. We beat it where we can, and we tell you plainly when we cannot.
Is a local installer riskier than a national brand?
Ask who performs the service call in year four, by name. 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.
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.
