Yes. It runs on 24V low voltage with IP68-rated lights rated to −40°C.
Not all permanent lighting is built the same.
More than 3,000 installations, 2,500+ of them in Calgary. A clear look at what separates a Starise system from a typical install.
Light spacing
Every 8 inches.
Starise
Lights sit about 8 inches apart, so the roofline reads as one clean, continuous line.
Typical system
Spacing varies by system. Wider gaps mean fewer points of light along the same roofline.
White light
Real white, not mixed.
Starise
Dedicated warm white and cool white LEDs, alongside full colour.
Typical system
Some RGB-only systems mix white from red, green and blue, which can look less natural.
Daytime finish
Designed to disappear.
Day
Night
Starise
Colour-matched aluminium channel along the fascia, with wiring routed out of sight.
Typical system
Some installations rely on more visible surface-mounted parts and wiring, depending on the installer.
System design
Built for Alberta winters.
Starise
A 24V system with IP68-sealed lights rated to −40°C, for even brightness across long runs.
Typical system
Voltage and weather ratings vary. Some lower-voltage systems need more power points to keep long runs evenly bright.
Control
Yours to run. No subscription.
Starise
App control over Wi-Fi, plus Bluetooth mode when Wi-Fi is down. Scenes, timers, warm white and colour, with settings stored on the controller.
Typical system
Feature sets vary by brand. Some apps offer simpler controls.
Install and support
Planned for your home. Supported after.
Starise
Laid out around your home's architecture, installed by Starise crews, with a 5-year warranty on lights, controllers and wiring.
Typical system
Kit-style and online-only options are often more standardized and may rely more on self-service support.
