The Hardware

We install one brand.
Here is why.

Every number below is bluEmber’s own published specification. We are publishing the whole sheet, including the parts most installers leave off theirs.

Authorized bluEmber Dealer

Halo Exterior is the only authorized bluEmber dealer serving Fresno and Clovis — listed on bluEmber’s own public dealer directory. You do not have to take our word for that:

Our Choice

Choosing the light was
the first decision we made.

A permanent lighting company is really only as good as two things: the crew on the ladder and the product they bolt to your house. We control the first one. For the second, we spent the start of this business comparing published spec sheets instead of sales decks, and then committed to a single manufacturer rather than carrying whatever had the best margin that quarter.

It is the only product we sell

We do not keep a good-better-best lineup, because a good-better-best lineup means we are willing to put the “good” one on somebody’s house. Every Halo install is the same system at the same spec, whether your roofline is 80 feet or 400.

It wins on the specs that fail first

Anyone can publish a lifespan number. The specs that actually decide whether a system still looks right in year eight are the connectors, the ingress rating, and whether there is a redundant data line. bluEmber uses threaded metal connectors, seals to IP-68, and runs a backup data wire. Most competing systems do not do all three.

We are accountable for it either way

The manufacturer warranty covers the LEDs for life. That is their commitment, not ours, so here is ours: if something on your roofline is not right, you call us and our crew comes out. We do not hand homeowners a claims number and step back.

Technical Details

The full spec sheet.

Published values from the manufacturer, reproduced in full. The bolded line under each spec is our own plain-English note on why it matters — those are ours, not bluEmber’s.

Light quality
Diodes per light6

The three leading competing systems publish 3. Doubling the diodes is what makes the run read as a continuous line of light rather than a row of visible dots.

Brightness95 lumens per light

Bright enough to read as architectural lighting from the street in the middle of summer, not just after full dark in December.

Color outputFull-spectrum RGBW

A dedicated white diode alongside red, green, and blue. That white diode is the reason the everyday warm-white setting looks like real lighting instead of three colors mixed into an approximation of white.

Lens / diffusionFrosted + full frosted

No shadowing along the run. This is the spec most homeowners never think to ask about and notice immediately once it is wrong.

Fixture size3/4" × 1 1/4"

Small enough to sit inside the track under your roof edge and disappear in daylight.

Light spacing6", 10", or 12"

Chosen per home during your consultation. See the spacing section below for what each one looks like.

Durability & weather
Weather ratingIP-68 sealed

The top of the ingress-protection scale. Relevant here for triple-digit Valley summers, winter Tule fog, and sprinklers that do not always aim where they should.

Rated lifespan100,000 hours

Run eight hours a night, that is roughly 34 years of nightly use before the diodes are rated to dim.

Connector typeMetal threaded

Threaded metal rather than a PVC snap or a bare splice. Connectors are where permanent outdoor lighting usually fails first.

Wire16-gauge, 4-wire

Power, communication, redundant data, and ground in one run.

Backup data wireYes

A single fault will not take down the rest of the run — the redundant data line carries the signal past it.

CertificationsUL Certified + ETL Listed

Both the fixtures and the controller. Worth confirming on any permanent system before it is attached to your house.

Power & electrical
System voltage48V DC

Low-voltage lighting. The controller itself runs at 12V.

Power drawUnder 1 W per light

Measured at full bright white, the most demanding setting there is. Everyday warm white draws less.

Power injectionAfter 415 ft

Continuous runs longer than 415 feet need an additional supply, added through the controller. We size this during the consultation, not on install day.

PlugStandard 110V outlet

No new circuit, no panel work, no electrician trip charge on a typical home.

Controller & control
ConnectionWi-Fi 2.4 GHz

Also runs without Wi-Fi. If your internet goes down, your lights do not.

Controller displayOn-unit LED preview

A light-strip preview, four directional arrows, OK, on/off, and menu — so the system is operable at the box, not only from a phone.

ProcessorOmega chip
Max lights per system4,112

Far more than any residential roofline needs. It is the headroom that matters: adding a detached garage or a back patio later does not mean a second system.

AddressabilityIndividual lights and zones

Every single light is independently addressable, which is what allows alternating colors along one run instead of washing the whole roofline in one tone.

Warranty
LED warrantyLifetime

Manufacturer-backed on the LEDs, for as long as you own the home. Our own labor and service sit on top of it, handled by our crew rather than a claims line.

Light Spacing

Three spacings. One decision.

Spacing is chosen per home, and it changes both the look and the price. We will show you all three on your own roofline during the consultation rather than picking for you.

6"
Maximum brightness

50% more lights than standard. The choice when brightness is the priority.

10"
Most popular

bluEmber’s best-selling spacing, and the one most of our Clovis and Fresno installs use. Reads like traditional holiday lights when you want it to.

12"
Most definition

Less color blending between points, so individual lights stay distinct.

Mounting

Six track profiles, because six roof conditions exist.

The track is the part that has to disappear. Which profile your house gets depends on what it actually has under the roof edge — a flat soffit, an angled one, a narrow one, a drip edge, or no soffit at all. This is decided at measurement, and it is the single biggest reason an install either reads as trim or reads as hardware.

Standard track

Flat soffit

The most common profile. Lights face directly downward.

Canted track

Angled soffit

Corrects for the angle so the lights still face straight down.

Fat track

Soffit under 1 1/4"

Also used on beams, awnings, and pergolas.

Z-flashing track

Drip edge or wall cap

Paired with standard track where the soffit is under 1 1/4".

45° track

No soffit at all

Lights sit at a 45° downward angle off a drip edge or wall cap.

Radius track

Round structures

Curved sections, turrets, and rounded entries. Can be combined with other profiles.

The track itself is color-matched to your soffit during the measurement visit. That is the step that decides whether the system disappears in daylight or outlines your house in visible hardware, and it happens before anything is fabricated.

Head to Head

Against everyone else.

Straight Answers

Questions about the hardware.

Are these numbers bluEmber’s or yours?+

Every value in the spec tables is bluEmber’s own published figure, transcribed from their product page. The short notes under each one are ours — that is our read on why a given spec matters on a Clovis or Fresno home. We have kept the two visually separate on purpose so you can tell which is which.

What does being an authorized dealer actually mean?+

It means we buy direct, our crew is trained on the system, and your lifetime LED warranty is a manufacturer warranty rather than a promise from a local contractor. bluEmber publishes its dealer list publicly, so you can confirm any installer’s status — ours included — before you sign anything.

Can I see the lights before I commit?+

Yes. We bring a working sample to the consultation and run it through colors and brightness in your own light, at your own house. A spec sheet is a starting point, not a substitute for seeing 95 lumens on your own fascia.

Does 4,112 lights per system matter on a normal house?+

Not as a number — no roofline in Clovis or Fresno needs it. It matters as headroom. A system that tops out at 600 or 800 lights can leave you needing an entirely second system to add a detached garage, a patio cover, or a back elevation later. This one will not.

What happens if one light fails?+

Each fixture runs independently, and the run carries a redundant data wire, so one failure does not take down everything downstream of it. The defective part is covered under warranty and we come replace it.

Will the track be visible from the street?+

It is color-matched to your soffit during the measurement visit, before anything is fabricated. Our gallery has an unedited daylight photo of a finished Clovis install next to a night shot of the same two gables, so you can judge that for yourself rather than take our word for it.
