Why Most DFW Homeowners Pick DFW LED Lite Over Jellyfish
No franchise markup
Jellyfish dealers pay royalty fees on every install. Those costs get passed to you. We're a local owner-operator — our $20/ft rate reflects actual labor and materials, nothing more.
3-year warranty vs. split coverage
Our warranty covers parts AND labor for 3 full years. Jellyfish splits theirs: 1 year on labor, 5 years on product. If something fails in year 2, you're paying Jellyfish's service fee.
Owner installs every job
Jerico personally oversees every installation from his home base in Keller, TX. With Jellyfish, your installer is a franchise sub-contractor who may or may not be local to DFW.
Faster turnaround
No franchise scheduling queue. Call Jerico at (817) 915-3266 and you'll typically have a quote within 24 hours and installation within 1–2 weeks.
Open system, not franchise-locked
Our Govee Pro installation can be serviced by any qualified electrician. Jellyfish's proprietary system requires their dealer for parts and service — forever.

Customers Who Chose Us Over Jellyfish
“We got a Jellyfish quote for $7,200. Called Jerico, he came out the next day, and quoted $4,400 for the same footage. Same premium quality. Installed 3 days later. No-brainer.”

“I liked Jellyfish's website but the franchise model bothered me. With DFW LED Lite, the owner does the install. Three neighbors have since hired Jerico off my recommendation.”

“Compared Jellyfish, Trimlight, and DFW LED Lite. DFW LED was the only one where the owner showed up, measured himself, and had a flat price — not a "starting at" number.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Jellyfish offer anything DFW LED doesn't?
Jellyfish uses a proprietary RGBIC-RD LED strip that's only serviced by Jellyfish dealers. Some homeowners prefer brand recognition. But the underlying technology (RGBIC LEDs in aluminum track) is functionally identical to Govee Pro. The main difference is business model: franchise vs. local owner-operator. We offer lower pricing because we don't pay franchise royalties.
Why is your price lower than Jellyfish's quote?
No franchise fees. Jellyfish dealers pay royalties on every install, plus national marketing assessments. Those costs get baked into the per-foot price. Jerico runs a local crew out of Keller, TX — no corporate overhead, no territory fees. Same product quality, 35–40% less cost.
What LEDs do you use compared to Jellyfish?
We install Govee Pro RGBIC track-mount LEDs — a different product line than Jellyfish's proprietary system. Spec-for-spec, our system is comparable or better: same 16 million colors, same app control, same 50,000+ hour lifespan. The key difference? Our Govee Pro system is open: any qualified electrician can service it, and the Govee Home app gives you scheduling, music sync, and group control — no dealer lock-in.
Do you service my Jellyfish system if I switch?
We can inspect and advise, but Jellyfish's proprietary strips are locked to their dealer network for replacement parts. If you're considering a full swap to Govee Pro, we can remove the old system and install ours at the standard $20/ft rate. Many customers switching from Jellyfish save 30–40% on the new install compared to what they originally paid.
