The Next Gen of Smart Outdoor Lighting
Our Story
A Better Way to
Light a Home
Gemstone Lights® started with a simple idea: outdoor lighting should look great, stay up year-round, and be easy to control. In 2016, founder Tate Leavitt brought that idea to life in Calgary with a permanent outdoor lighting system built to handle the elements without looking bulky or out of place.
Since then, the system has come a long way. Today, you can control every light individually, choose from millions of colors, use warm white lighting, and set everything to run automatically from the Gemstone Lights™ app. With more than 700 authorized dealers across North America, the system has become a go-to for homeowners who want permanent outdoor lighting without the hassle.
Gemstone Lights Atlanta brings that same system to North Atlanta. From measuring and installing the track to hiding the wiring and setting up your app, we take care of the entire process from start to finish.
