What JellyFish, Trimlight and Gemstone lights cost in 2026
JellyFish Lighting publishes about $25 to $35 per foot installed, plus $650–850 for the controller, at its corporate locations, and says most homes spend $3,000 to $6,000 lighting the street-facing sides, about $4,600 on average. Trimlight publishes $18 to $35 per foot, and the example homes on its pricing page run $2,500 to $6,800 for the front and $5,400 to $14,500 for all sides. Gemstone publishes no price at all. EverLights, Oelo and Govee publish what their do-it-yourself kits cost.
We install Minleon. Track packages include the controller. We charge by the foot: simple, honest, no hidden fees. Your written quote spells out everything before any work starts. On average, permanent lights run about $3,000; smaller homes often cost less, and the free measure gives your exact written quote.
Below: each brand's own number with a link to where it's published, what those numbers come to on the same three houses, the line items that move a quote, and who actually sells each brand around Vancouver and Portland. Every brand figure was read on the brands' own pages on September 26, 2026.
The short answer: every brand's published price
Minleon doesn't publish an installed price, so the Minleon row is ours as a Minleon installer. "Not published" means we looked and the brand doesn't say.
| Brand | What the brand publishes | Controller | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trimlight | Typically $18–35 per foot installed; most homes $2,000–$6,000+. Example homes: $2,500–6,800 front, $5,400–14,500 all sides | The controller may or may not be in the per-foot price | Trimlight pricing; 2026 guide |

Read on each brand's own site on September 26, 2026. Dealers set local prices for Trimlight, JellyFish and Gemstone.
Same house, brand by brand: 150, 220 and 320 feet
Roofline feet drive every one of these prices, so here are three example houses: a single-story ranch (150 ft, front elevation plus garage return), a two-story with gables (220 ft, front, gables and garage) and a large two-story, full wrap (320 ft, all four sides, gables and porch). Each row is arithmetic from that brand's published rate or list price. None of it is a quote.
The Minleon systems we install aren't in these rows: we price your exact roofline at the free measure.
| Brand and rate | 150 ft | 220 ft | 320 ft |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trimlight, $18–35/ft | $2,700–5,250 | $3,960–7,700 | $5,760–11,200 |
| JellyFish, $25–35/ft + $650–850 controller | $4,400–6,100 | $6,150–8,550 | $8,650–12,050* |
| Gemstone | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| EverLights ClickLights (DIY kit) | $2,300 | $3,550 | $4,800 |
| Govee 2 Pro (DIY kit) | $799.99 | $1,299.98 | $1,599.98 |
Arithmetic from prices read September 26, 2026, not quotes. Installed rows include installation; Trimlight's controller may be extra. DIY rows are equipment only. All rows exclude tax, lifts, new outlets and anything a measure finds. *JellyFish says one controller runs about 263 feet of lights, so a longer job adds a power supply it doesn't price. EverLights at list price (150-ft bundle; 250-ft bundle; 300-ft bundle plus a 50-ft add-on); the shop showed them 20% off when we checked. Govee: one 200-ft kit; one 200-ft kit and one 100-ft kit; two 200-ft kits.

Line items that change the total
Beyond the per-foot rate, these are the lines that move a total. Check each one on every quote:
- Controllers and power. JellyFish lists $650–850 per controller, and one runs about 263 feet of lights; past that it adds power supplies, which it says cost less than a controller. Trimlight's pricing page says the controller may or may not be in the per-foot price. Our track packages include the controller, power supplies and app setup; C9 Classic, bistro and tree wrap carry a separate system line instead.
- Spacing. Closer spacing puts more lights on the same roofline. JellyFish says its 6-inch spacing has 50% more lights than its 9-inch standard. Our Deep Pebble Track costs more per foot at 6 inches, two lights to the foot, than at 12.
- Lifts and access. High gables and steep sections take more time or a lift. We quote a lift as its own line before install day.
- Electrical work. If the controller needs a new outlet, it should appear as its own line on every quote you compare.
- Service after year one. Trimlight's warranty terms allow a minimum $75 service fee when a technician is called out and the parts work, and after the dealer's labor coverage ends a repair visit can cost labor even when the part is covered. JellyFish, Gemstone and Oelo each cover labor for the first year.
- Tax. Our per-foot price is before tax. Ask every installer whether theirs is.
Warranty-adjusted cost: parts, labor and a house sale
A long parts warranty only saves money if someone is covered to fit the part. Here is what each brand publishes; our warranty guide covers what to get in writing.
| Brand | Parts | Labor | If you sell the house |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trimlight | "Lifetime," defined as 50,000 hours of use | At least 1 year, from the dealer | Not transferable |
| JellyFish | 5 years | 1 year | Not published |
| Gemstone | Lights for life (50,000 hours); other parts 10 years | 1 year | Once, within 90 days of moving in, up to 2 years left |
| EverLights | 1 to 10 years by product. The ClickLight listing says 5 years; the DIY bundle FAQ says 1 year on the equipment | 1 year on professional installs; none on DIY | Only if registered within 90 days |
| Oelo | 7 years on authorized-dealer installs; 5 on contractor or DIY | First year only | Once; the new owner contacts Oelo within 60 days |
| Govee | 3 years | DIY: the labor is yours | Not published |
| Minleon, installed by us | Lights for life; controller 10 years | 1 year workmanship | Written terms come with your quote |
From each brand's warranty pages, read September 26, 2026. Trimlight and Gemstone require registration within 30 days of installation, and Trimlight's spec pages say daytime use may void its warranty.
DIY kits: price per foot, and what you add
Govee, EverLights and Oelo publish prices for lights you install yourself. The price is equipment only, and per foot it runs from about $2.80 (Govee's 150-ft kit) to $36.30 (Oelo's 25-ft kit):
- Govee: the Permanent Outdoor Lights 2 runs $179.99 to $419.99 for 50 to 150 ft; the Pro $439.99 to $759.99 for 100 to 200 ft; the 2 Pro $499.99 for 100 ft or $799.99 for 200 ft ($4.00/ft); and the Prism $699.99 for 150 ft or $859.99 for 200 ft. Govee caps one system at 150 ft for the 2 and 200 ft for the Pro.
- EverLights ClickLights: bundles list at $1,050 for 50 ft ($21.00/ft) to $4,175 for 300 ft ($13.92/ft), and the shop showed them 20% off when we checked. The 100-ft bundle lists aluminum channel, caps, the Smart Bridge and a 24V power supply.
- Oelo: kits from $907.51 for 25 ft to $1,779.73 for 75 ft with acrylic covers and a control unit, $36.30 down to $23.73 per foot. Oelo also sells its own installation, $2,000 to $6,000 by kit size and zone.
- JellyFish and Trimlight: JellyFish sells DIY kits but doesn't publish the price. Trimlight's FAQ says a DIY kit from one of its dealers voids the lifetime product warranty.
Who sells what in Clark County and Portland
Local sellers rarely post prices. The Trimlight dealer pages for Woodland and Portland list none, and JellyFish labels its published range as corporate-location pricing.
- Trimlight: dealer pages for Woodland, WA, whose service list includes Vancouver, Camas, Battle Ground, Ridgefield, Washougal, La Center and Yacolt, and for Portland, OR, whose list includes Portland, Beaverton, Gresham, Hillsboro and Troutdale. Neither lists a price. Trimlight's FAQ says the dealer, not Trimlight, handles installation and repairs.
- JellyFish: its install locations page lists Vancouver, WA, Portland and Hillsboro. The corporate locations on that page are in Utah, Colorado, Texas and Florida, and JellyFish says authorized dealers set their own prices, so ask whoever quotes you locally whether the published range applies.
- Gemstone: its Vancouver, WA page said a dealer was still "getting organized" when we checked on September 26, 2026. Gemstone requires installation by an authorized dealer.
- EverLights, Oelo and Govee: all three sell kits online. Oelo prices its factory installation by zone; EverLights doesn't publish an installed price; Govee is retail only.
- Minleon: we install it across Clark County and the Portland suburbs; the next section covers how we price it.
How we price, and what's included
We install Minleon RGBW+2 lights: Pebble Track, C9 Track, D35 Puck Track and Deep Pebble Track in custom-cut aluminum track, and Magnetic Pebble, which mounts on a steel drip edge with no track. The controller, power supplies and app setup are included. C9 Classic on clips adds a separate control-system line. We charge by the foot: simple, honest, no hidden fees. Your written quote spells out everything before any work starts. On average, permanent lights run about $3,000; smaller homes often cost less, and the free measure gives your exact written quote.
The Minleon pebbles and pucks we install carry a dedicated warm-white diode (about 3000K, per Minleon's datasheets) alongside red, green and blue, so the everyday setting is a true warm white rather than a mix. Trimlight lists its Classic and 3L lights as RGB, and JellyFish lists three RGB diodes per light.
New installations can qualify for up to $500 off; the amount depends on project size and is confirmed in your written quote.
How to compare two quotes line by line
Put the quotes side by side and check them in this order:
- Feet. Installed prices are per foot, so confirm both quotes measured the same runs.
- Model and spacing. Trimlight Classic or 3L? JellyFish at 6, 9 or 16 inches? Pebble or puck? Closer spacing means more lights on the same roofline.
- Controller and power. Is the controller in the per-foot price or a separate line? How many feet does it run, and are extra power supplies included?
- White light. Ask for a warm-white demo at the brightness you'd use every night.
- Track in daylight. Ask to see the channel in your fascia color.
- Access and electrical. Lifts, steep sections and any new outlet should be listed, not found on install day.
- Warranty in writing. Parts term, labor term, service-call fees, the registration deadline and what happens if you sell.
- Who services it. The installer, a dealer network or the manufacturer? Get a name and a number on the quote.
- Tax and the total. Compare bottom lines, with tax, for the same scope.
