Does Oelo actually illuminate your property?

Is Oelo a franchise?
Yes, Oelo operates a franchise network with regional dealers across the country. Their pricing includes franchise fees and corporate overhead. DFW LED Lite is family-owned without franchise fees, which is why we can offer superior Govee Pro technology at 33% lower cost.
Can I switch from Oelo to your system?
Absolutely! Yes! We can remove your existing Oelo system and install our Govee Pro system. Many homeowners switch when they realize they can get comparable features at a significantly lower price with an open, non-proprietary system. We provide free assessments for system replacements.

Govee Pro is commercial-grade smart LED technology with 16 million colors, 75+ preset scenes, app control, Alexa/Google integration, and music sync. Both systems deliver excellent permanent lighting. The advantage of our Govee Pro system is that it's an open platform — you're not locked into one dealer for service and replacement parts.
Which is better for Christmas: Oelo or DFW LED Lite?
Both work great for Christmas! Both systems offer millions of colors and custom patterns for stunning holiday displays. The difference is price — DFW LED Lite costs significantly less than Oelo because we don't have dealer network overhead. You get beautiful permanent holiday lighting at a better price.

Are permanent LED lights HOA approved?

Do you offer financing?
Yes! We offer flexible financing options to make your permanent LED lighting affordable. With 33% lower costs than Oelo, many customers find they can afford the system outright. Ask about current promotions when you request a quote.
