Most permanent lighting companies install 12V systems designed for warm climates. We install Gen 2 24V — engineered for Alberta winters, app-controlled, and built to last decades.
The lighting industry runs on 12V. We run on 24V — and the difference isn't subtle. Higher voltage means brighter output per fixture, less heat, longer run lengths without colour fade, and a system that handles Calgary's extreme temperature swings without skipping a beat.
| Brightness consistency | ✓ Uniform across full run length |
| Heat generation | ✓ Lower — extends LED lifespan |
| Voltage drop | ✓ Minimal — no dimming at far ends |
| Cold weather performance | ✓ Rated to −40°C |
| IP Rating | ✓ IP68 — fully submersible |
| Expected lifespan | ✓ 50,000+ hours |
The #1 complaint we hear from people who switched from a competitor: "The app was a nightmare." Ours isn't. If you can order DoorDash, you can control your Starise system. No manual. No YouTube tutorial. No calling us for help.
