How to Choose the Best Permanent Outdoor Lighting System for Your Minnesota Home
Choosing the right permanent outdoor lighting system can be tricky when Minnesota weather throws everything from icy winds to summer storms at your home. The good news is, modern systems like Gemstone Lights make it easy to enjoy beautiful, durable lighting that stands up to the elements year after year.

If you’re ready to upgrade your home’s look, get in touch with our licensed professionals today for a free consultation and enjoy outdoor lighting that stands up to the worst that Minnesota has to offer.
1. Pick a System Designed for Minnesota Weather
Not all lighting systems are built for snow, ice, and subzero temperatures. Look for weather-sealed, UV-protected LED lights and aluminum track systems that protect wiring and components. These features prevent corrosion, moisture buildup, and bulb damage during freeze–thaw cycles, which are common in our region.
Gemstone Lights are designed specifically for harsh climates, so your system stays bright and secure through every season.
2. Focus on Energy Efficiency & Longevity
The best permanent lighting systems use high-efficiency LEDs that offer thousands of hours of light while using minimal electricity. LEDs run cooler, last longer, and cost less to operate compared to traditional bulbs, making them both eco-friendly and budget-friendly.
Pair your system with smart scheduling and dimming options to save even more energy throughout the year.
3. Look for Custom Control Options
Your lighting system should give you control over color, brightness, and timing without complicated wiring or remotes. App-based systems like Gemstone Lights allow you to switch from a cozy, warm white to a festive holiday display in seconds.
With built-in presets, you can plan out lighting for holidays, game days, or seasonal events and never have to adjust it manually.
4. Choose Professional Installation for Lasting Results
While DIY lighting might seem cheaper upfront, improper wiring or poor alignment can cause performance issues and safety risks. Professional installation ensures clean lines, hidden wiring, and long-term reliability.
At H&S Heating and Air Conditioning, our licensed electricians handle every detail from precise track fitting to complete system programming so your lights look perfect and operate flawlessly from day one.
5. Consider How You’ll Use Your Lights Year-Round
Permanent outdoor lighting isn’t just for the holidays. The right system adds value, beauty, and safety to your home year-round. Highlight your roofline, accent architectural details, or illuminate walkways and patios. You’ll enjoy curb appeal in every season, and a bit of extra neighborhood pride, too.
