Local rules
West Lake Hills's outdoor lighting rules in plain English
West Lake Hills regulates outdoor lighting under Article 24.03 of its code, in effect since 2014. The article requires an outdoor lighting permit in listed situations and calls for shielded or hooded fixtures. It treats light trespass as an offense and sets residential lumen limits and a curfew for nonconforming lights.
The code says it was written to protect the city's rugged terrain, dense foliage and dark night skies. We don't yet know whether a permanent eave install triggers a permit. Ask the city before you schedule installation.
