JellyFish vs Trimlight vs Gemstone vs Apollo in OKC

JellyFish, Trimlight, and Gemstone are national brands. They reach Oklahoma City the same way. A company somewhere else makes the product. A separate local dealer sells it to you and puts it up.

Apollo is the other choice here. One Oklahoma City company. Its own system, its own crew, and its own name on the warranty.

The thing to understand about a dealer

With a national brand, two different companies are involved. One name is on the truck. Another is on the warranty.

The brand makes the hardware and writes the ads. A local dealer quotes your house and puts the track up. That dealer takes your service calls. It is its own business. Dealers change hands. They change owners. They change areas.

The brand does not come to your house in year three. The dealer does, if the dealer is still there.

Four questions that decide the job

The brand name is the easiest thing to compare. It is also the least useful. Ask any company these four, Apollo included.

Who actually installs it? A crew that does this every day, or a sub booked for the week?
Who picks up the phone in year three? The company that sold you the job? Or a support line that sends you back to a dealer?
What does the warranty say in writing? Parts and labor are two different things. A long parts warranty means little if you pay full rate for the labor.
Is the price for your real roofline? Length, soffit type and zone count drive the number. A quote without those is a guess.

Apollo answers all four the same way every time. Same company, start to finish.

What Apollo installs

Apollo puts a low-profile LED track along your eaves and rooflines. It is matched to your trim color. In daylight you barely see it.

The LEDs are rated for 50,000-plus hours. At a few hours a night, that is roughly 15 to 20 years. The housing is waterproof and sun-proof. It is built for Oklahoma heat and storms.

You run it from an app. Over 16 million colors. Zones, so parts of the house can differ. Schedules that follow sunset and sunrise. Music sync. Saved scenes you can switch in seconds.

One install covers the holidays, everyday accent light, game day and security. More on the permanent lighting page.

Two-story home with pink and blue permanent roofline lighting above the garage — Zone control means the garage, gables, and main roofline can each run their own color or scene from the app.

Every run is cut and fitted to your house on install day. It is wired to its own weatherproof power supply. No extension cords. No plugging anything in. No ladders for you, ever.

The warranty, in plain terms

Apollo installs carry a five-year manufacturer warranty and a one-year labor warranty. Acts of God or nature are not covered. That is the whole of it. The FAQ page and your paperwork say the same thing.

Two things matter on any warranty. Parts and labor are always separate. Read both. Ask what a service call costs once the labor year ends. And a warranty is only as good as the company behind it.

With Apollo that is one company, based here. It quoted your house. It put the track up. It answers the call.

Why local is the point

Apollo is not a dealer in someone else's network. It is an Oklahoma City company at 5909 NW Expressway.

It installs across the metro. OKC, Edmond, Norman, Moore, Yukon, Guthrie, Mustang, Piedmont, Del City and Midwest City. The full list is on the service areas page.

Homeowners across the metro rate Apollo 5.0 stars on Google. Every review gets a reply. We do not hand-pick quotes for the website. The reviews page sends you to Google to read them yourself.

Apollo installs include a five-year manufacturer warranty and a one-year labor warranty. Damage from acts of God or nature is not covered.

What should I ask before choosing a permanent lighting company?

Ask who installs it. Ask who answers the phone in year three. Ask what the warranty covers for parts and for labor. Ask if your price is based on your real roofline and soffit type.
