Starlights is the premium permanent lighting hardware line supplied to installers through Light Launch. It's distinguished by a lifetime warranty on the LED fixture — a guarantee most competing permanent lighting products don't offer. Installers can quote Starlights tiers directly inside the Light Launch customer portal.

What does the Starlights lifetime warranty cover?

The lifetime warranty covers the LED fixture itself against manufacturing defect for the lifetime of the original installation. This is significantly stronger than the typical 3–7 year warranty offered on off-brand permanent lighting, and gives installers a closing argument competitors using cheaper hardware can't match.

How does an installer get Starlights through Light Launch?

Starlights materials are sourced directly through the Light Launch platform — installers order Starlights inventory through their Light Launch account and quote Starlights as the premium tier in customer portals. Pricing, lead times, and ordering are managed inside the platform alongside the rest of the install workflow.

Why does the lifetime warranty matter in sales?

Permanent lighting is a $5K–$15K install. A homeowner writing that check wants to know the system won't fail in five years. A lifetime warranty on the LED fixture itself dramatically reduces that perceived risk, and installers consistently report that the warranty is the closing argument that moves homeowners from price comparison to deposit-paid. The same warranty also reduces future service costs for the installer.

Starlights Permanent Lighting — Lifetime Warranty Materials for Installers

Materials choice in permanent lighting matters more than most new installers realize. The hardware lives on the customer's house for years, the warranty becomes the installer's reputation, and every callback for a failed channel costs the installer time, parts, and trust. The bar for material selection isn't "what's cheapest." It's "what lets me sleep at night."

What Starlights is

Starlights is the premium permanent lighting hardware line carried through Light Launch. Installers source Starlights directly through the platform, quote Starlights as a premium tier in their customer portal, and install it under a lifetime warranty on the LED fixture itself. That last detail — lifetime warranty — is the difference between Starlights and most permanent lighting products on the market.

Why the lifetime warranty changes the sale

Permanent lighting is a $5K–$15K install. The homeowner writing that check is doing arithmetic in their head:

What happens if a section fails in three years?
Will the original installer still be in business?
How much will replacement parts cost?
Is the warranty going to be honored, or buried in fine print?

The lifetime warranty on Starlights cuts through every one of those questions. A homeowner can comfortably write a five-figure check knowing the manufacturer stands behind the fixture for the lifetime of their install. Installers using off-brand materials have to manage those objections one-by-one — which often means dropping price to close.

What the installer gets

A premium tier in every quote

Light Launch's customer portal lets installers price both a standard tier and a Starlights premium tier. The homeowner sees both prices alongside the rendered photo of their actual house and self-selects the tier they want. Most installers find that offering the Starlights tier as a clear upgrade pulls a meaningful share of customers up to the higher-margin install.

A closing argument competitors can't match

"Lifetime warranty on the fixture" is the kind of differentiator that ends a comparison-shopping conversation. Homeowners who price-checked three installers come back to the one offering the strongest guarantee. Installers consistently report higher close rates on Starlights-quoted leads than on off-brand quotes.

Lower future service cost

A premium LED fixture with a manufacturer-backed lifetime warranty fails far less often than budget alternatives. The installer's future service load — driving back to fix a failed channel, eating the labor cost — drops accordingly. Over a five-year horizon, lower service costs more than offset the higher per-foot material cost.

Integration with the rest of the Light Launch workflow

Starlights pricing flows through to the customer portal, the deposit collection, and the post-install warranty registration automatically. The installer doesn't manage a separate ordering portal or a separate warranty tracker — it's all inside Light Launch.

How Starlights fits the pricing tiers

A typical Light Launch installer's customer portal shows two tiers anchored to the rendered photo of the homeowner's house:

Trim-only / standard tier — entry-point price using standard hardware. Front-facing roofline only, typically $2,000–$6,000.
Whole-home / Starlights premium tier — full perimeter using Starlights hardware with lifetime warranty. Typically $5,000–$15,000+ depending on linear footage.
