How it works

How a Starie's install works

  1. Tell us about the house. Call, text or send the form with your address. We answer 24/7.
  2. Walk the roofline together. We measure, talk through which sections to light, and go over any city or HOA rules that apply.
  3. Installation. The track and lights go up under the eaves and we test every run.
  4. Control it from your phone. Your lights run on the Pixel Dancer app: colors, presets, brightness and the scheduler.

Local rules

Bee Cave's outdoor lighting rules in plain English

Bee Cave adopted a dark-sky outdoor lighting ordinance in 2022 and was certified as an International Dark Sky Community in 2023, the seventh in Texas. The ordinance is built around shielding, warmer color temperatures and keeping light from spilling onto neighbors and the sky.

According to the city, limited temporary or seasonal lighting and low-voltage landscape lighting are allowed. We haven't verified how the seasonal clause treats a permanently mounted color system. Ask the city's development services staff before you plan year-round color.
