DFW LED Lite vs Lighting by LeafFilter
Local & Family-Owned. Transparent $25/ft. No In-Home Sales Pitch.
LeafFilter is a large national gutter-guard brand that recently added permanent lighting. DFW LED Lite is a Dallas-Fort Worth family business focused on permanent LED lighting — with published flat-rate pricing and downward-facing LEDs that light your whole home.
The Key Difference: Local Specialist vs National Brand
DFW LED Lite
- Flat $25/ft published pricing — no in-home sales appointment
- Downward-facing LEDs light the whole facade, not just the roofline
- Local family-owned DFW crew — same team installs and services
- Lifetime Workmanship + 3-Year Parts Warranty
Lighting by LeafFilter
- No published price — requires an in-home consultation to quote
- Marketed primarily as a roofline outlining track system
- National brand — call center & rotating crews, not a local team
- Advertises a 7-year warranty (parts-focused)
Both install permanent LED lighting. The difference is transparent local pricing and lights that illuminate your whole home.

DFW LED Lite does one thing — permanent LED lighting — and does it locally at a transparent $25/ft flat rate. You deal directly with the family owner and crew, not a national call center, and you get a written price up front instead of an in-home sales appointment.
How much does Lighting by LeafFilter cost compared to DFW LED Lite?
LeafFilter does not publish a price per foot and requires an in-home consultation to quote each job, so costs vary widely. DFW LED Lite charges a flat, published $25 per linear foot installed. A typical 180-foot DFW home is about $4,500 with us, with no surprise pricing and no high-pressure in-home sales pitch.
Is LeafFilter lighting downward-facing like DFW LED Lite?
Our professional pixel-LEDs sit in a flush aluminum channel and face downward to wash light across your facade, landscaping, and walkways. LeafFilter markets a low-profile track lighting system primarily as roofline outlining. If full-facade illumination matters to you, ask any installer to show downward-facing results on a home like yours.
