Question 1

Are Permanent Lights HOA Approved?

Accepted Answer

Many neighborhoods in Waco and surrounding areas have HOAs, and permanent outdoor lighting often requires prior approval. At Light Source, we’ve found that once HOA committees see how our system works—discreet during the day, fully programmable for holidays and events, and backed by responsive local support—approval is typically granted. We’re happy to assist in presenting our lighting system to HOA boards and provide documentation to help streamline the approval process.

Question 2

Where Does The Controller Box Go?

Accepted Answer

The Light Source control box is typically installed on an interior wall, often inside a garage or beneath a carport, depending on your setup. Our system is designed for convenience and simplicity—it plugs directly into a standard electrical outlet, making installation fast, clean, and minimally invasive.

Question 3

How Much Does it Cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing for Light Source’s permanent lighting systems depends on the size and scope of your project. Since we’re locally based in Waco, we provide accurate, transparent quotes tailored to your specific needs. Our systems are a cost-effective investment, built to last for decades and backed by a lifetime product warranty for lasting peace of mind.

Question 4

What Happens if a Bulb Goes Out?

Accepted Answer

If a bulb ever stops working, simply contact Light Source for a quick, hassle-free replacement. Our lights are protected under a lifetime product warranty and rated for up to 50,000 hours of use. All installations include a minimum 1-year labor warranty—contact us directly to confirm coverage and schedule service.

Question 5

Does The System Mess With Gutters?

Accepted Answer

At Light Source, our lighting systems are carefully installed beneath the soffit of your home and protected by custom-designed channels to ensure long-lasting performance. We take special care to avoid interfering with your gutters or drip edge during installation. These components play a vital role in directing water away from your property and preserving your home’s structural integrity. By keeping them untouched, we help prevent potential leaks, water buildup, and long-term damage.

Question 6

Can I Install It Myself?

Accepted Answer

While some lighting systems on the market may offer DIY options, Light Source installations must be performed by our trained professionals to maintain your lifetime product warranty. Attempting a self-installation or using unauthorized methods will void the warranty, as proper installation is key to ensuring safety, performance, and long-term reliability. Trust our certified team to deliver a seamless, warrantied experience from start to finish.

Question 7

How Long Does Installation Take?

Accepted Answer

Most Light Source installations are completed in just one day. For larger homes, commercial buildings, or more complex setups, the process may take a bit longer—typically spanning a couple of days. Our team works efficiently to ensure your lighting is installed properly, safely, and with minimal disruption.

Question 8

How Much Money Can I Save Yearly?

Accepted Answer

Hiring professionals to install and remove traditional holiday lights each year can cost anywhere from $300 to over $1,000, depending on the size of your property and the complexity of your display. And once the holidays are over, so are the lights. Light Source offers a smarter, more versatile alternative—permanent outdoor lighting that enhances your home or business year-round, for any season, celebration, or occasion, without the hassle or recurring costs.
