Permanent Lighting in Southlake
Southlake homes deserve holiday lights that are already up when the season starts. At Inception Lighting, we install permanent color-changing LED lights that stay on your home all year. During the day they sit quietly along the trim and you'd hardly know they're there. At night, you open the BlueHopper app and the house lights up in whatever colors you choose. Our office is in Denton, and we install in Southlake often.
Control with the click of a button
With BlueHopper, you have the superpower of controlling lights! Available on both iOS & Android, BlueHopper is an incredibly user-friendly app with all the powerful features, even for those who are not tech-savvy.
Start by choosing a preset design, or easily customize your own and schedule it. It's that easy!

Why Southlake homeowners are making the change
Many homes in Southlake are big, and the bigger the house, the bigger the holiday lighting job. Some owners lose a weekend to it, and others pay a crew every year to hang strands and take them back down. Either way, it comes back around every fall.
Permanent lights end that cycle. They go on the house once. After that, you're the one deciding what the house looks like on any given night, and you do it from your phone.
The season in Southlake opens with Home for the Holidays, the Christmas tree lighting at Southlake Town Square. Local dance schools perform, kids line up for Santa and the snow hill, and a short fireworks show goes off after the tree comes on. With permanent lights, your house joins in the same night the tree does.
Made for how Southlake celebrates
- Carroll Dragons football has a long history of state championships, and fall Fridays are a big deal here. Green, white and black on the house is an easy way to show it.
- Have the Christmas design start the evening of the Town Square tree lighting and stay on through the New Year.
- Red, white and blue for Memorial Day and the Fourth, then soft blues on summer nights as a nod to Grapevine Lake, which gave the city its name.
- Orange and purple for Halloween, pastels at Easter, and a warm white on regular nights to light the front walk.
Plan your lights as much as twelve months out. There are 16 million colors in the app, and any white from 1800K to 6800K.
Homes we light in Southlake
Southlake grew into one of the area's best-known suburbs after DFW Airport opened, and its neighborhoods reflect that growth.
- Timarron, the master-planned community in the southeast part of town, built around Timarron Country Club. Brick and stone homes along winding, tree-lined streets look warm and inviting with the lights on.
- Carillon, on the north side near SH 114, with custom homes in European-influenced and transitional styles. Owners there usually want the lights to stay out of view in daylight, so the architecture gets all the attention.
- Coventry Manor, the east Southlake neighborhood off SH 114 with its greenbelt and private ponds, and the big homes along Shady Oaks Drive. A lit house sets off the trees nicely after dark.
- Clariden Ranch and the north end of town near Bob Jones Park, where a lot of homes sit on big lots. Lit up, the house shows from well down the road.
- Established neighborhoods like South Ridge Lakes and Southlake Woods, with mature landscaping. Longtime owners there are often ready to retire the ladder.
Most Southlake neighborhoods have an HOA. Have an HOA? Mention it on your estimate request and we'll talk it through with you.
How it works
- Request your free estimate. Tell us about your home on the Free Estimate page.
- Get your custom quote. Price depends on how many feet of roofline you want lit, the number of stories, and which sides of the house you want covered.
- Pick your install date. Install dates are booked in the order estimates are approved, so the earlier you request, the more dates you'll have before Christmas.
- Light it up. Download the app and run the house from your phone, with presets for every holiday or your own custom designs.

Southlake permanent lighting FAQ
Can my lights come on for Home for the Holidays at Town Square?
Yes. Set up your Christmas design in the app and schedule it for the night of the tree lighting.
Can I do Carroll Dragons colors?
Of course. Save green, white and black as a preset and use it for game nights, playoff weekends or homecoming.
My home is a custom build. Will the lights take away from the way it looks?
No. The track is color-matched to your trim, so during the day it blends in with the house.
How much does it cost?
Every home is quoted on its own. Price depends on how much roofline you'd like lit, how many stories the house has, and which sides you want covered. Your free estimate gives you the number.
Can more than one person in the family control the lights?
Yes. Everyone in the family can use the app and keep their own saved designs.
Is there a warranty?
Yes. Southlake homeowners get a 5-year manufacturer's warranty on every light we put up.
How far out can I set the schedule?
As far as twelve months ahead. Set it once and the house changes on its own.
Do you install outside Southlake?
Yes. We install all around Southlake and well beyond. Add your address to the request.
Ready to get started?
