Anyone got any recommendations for an outfit covering CR / Marion that install exterior lighting on homes? I've decided this was the last year I'm getting up and down on the ladder putting up Christmas lights. Looking to go the the permanent under soffit lights. TIA.

I have Gemstones and LOVE them. Not sure if there is an installer in the CR area.
 
Are they a brand or what? Just kicking the tires on this
Gemstones are the brand and they need to be installed by a dealer. Trim lights are another similar option installed by a dealer. Govee lights are ones you can buy and install them yourself.
 
Same thing as OP! I bought Enbrighten "permanent" lights on Amazon just yesterday after taking down my Christmas lights. They are essentially Govee lights but just another brand. A couple of neighbors use Enbrighten and they look great. Really good price on the 150 foot version right now on Amazon.

Edit: the people I have talked to that use them installed them by themselves (and offered to help me do it). One told me they had a quote of around $4000 to do what he did by himself for a total of $400.

As long as they know what they're doing, you'd be foolish not to do it. Then PM me and help me with mine. I'll buy them after you PM me, Thanks in advance!!

We got Govee permanent programmable led lights. They've been great so far. All Colors during Christmas, White right now, Red White and Pink in February, all colors in Blue in April, All colors in May, Red White and Blue in July, and I no longer have to climb a ladder.
