The System Behind the Lights
MEP Electric is an authorized Gemstone Lights Silver dealer in Temple, TX. Here is what sets the system apart from everything else on the market.
16 Million Colors
RGBWW LED bulbs with 4 diodes each. True warm white plus every color imaginable. Individual light addressing for precise pattern control.
App-Controlled
Gemstone Lights Hub2 controller. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. 64 programmable timers, sunrise/sunset scheduling, music sync, and voice control with Alexa and Google Home.
IP67 Waterproof
Rated from -40°F to 130°F. UV-protected cables and components. Built to handle Central Texas heat, thunderstorms, and the occasional winter freeze — year after year.
Color-Matched Track
150+ fascia and soffit color options. Custom track is manufactured to match your home's existing trim. Invisible during the day. Stunning at night.
50,000-Hour Lifespan
Average LED lifespan of 50,000 hours. Minimal maintenance required. Product backed by a 10-year warranty. MEP Electric also covers workmanship on every installation.
Expandable System
Start with the front of your home and add additional zones over time. Up to 4,096 lights per controller. Scales with your property or budget.
Energy Efficient

Permanent Lights Aren't Just for Christmas
This is the most common misconception about permanent lighting. The system is installed once — then you switch colors and patterns from your phone for any event, any time of year.
