Why DFW LED Lite Over Astoria Lighting
Better Price
Astoria charges $22-26/ft with multi-city franchise overhead. We're $20/ft because we're family-owned with zero franchise fees. On a 150ft home, that's $300-$900 in savings — plus you get better illumination.
Better Technology
Govee Pro integrates with Alexa, Google Home, and music sync out of the box. Astoria uses their own proprietary app with no voice control. Plus, their app has had reports of losing saved patterns after updates — Govee's app serves millions reliably.
DFW-Focused
Astoria manages crews across 8+ cities — Atlanta, Houston, Austin, Edmonton. We only serve DFW. That means faster scheduling, personal attention from the owners, and a team that knows every HOA requirement in North Texas.

Why DFW Homeowners Choose Us Over Astoria
Real feedback from Dallas-Fort Worth homeowners who compared both options
"Astoria quoted me $3,600 for 150ft. DFW LED Lite did it for $3,000 and the lights actually wash down the front of my house. Astoria's lights just outline the roofline. Night and day difference — literally."
✓ Saved $600 • ✓ Full property illumination
"What sold us on DFW LED Lite was that Jerico himself does the install. With Astoria, we didn't know who'd show up — they've got crews across multiple states. We wanted someone local who takes pride in their work."
✓ Owner-installed • ✓ Personal relationship
"My buddy has Astoria and their app lost all his saved holiday patterns after an update. I've had zero issues with Govee — it works with Alexa so I just say 'turn on Christmas mode' and we're done. Way better system."
✓ Reliable app • ✓ Voice control built-in
