Contact us for details about warranty transfer options when selling your home. The GOULY system is built to last 50,000+ hours as a long-term investment.

When you invest in permanent outdoor lighting, the warranty behind the system matters. It protects your hardware, gives you confidence in the installation, and signals that the manufacturer and installer stand behind what they sell.

But what happens if you sell your home? Does that warranty follow the house, or does it disappear the moment ownership changes?

Here is what you need to know about the GOULY Gen 3 system warranty, what it covers, and how warranty transfers work.


What the warranty covers

Number One Lights installs the GOULY Gen 3 24V RGBW permanent lighting system with a 5-year limited warranty on all components. That includes:

The warranty covers manufacturing defects and component failures under normal use. It does not cover physical damage from impacts, unauthorized modifications, or improper electrical work performed after installation.

50,000+

Hours of rated LED lifespan

24V

Low-voltage system, safe and efficient


A system built to outlast the warranty

The warranty provides a safety net, but the hardware is designed to last well beyond five years. GOULY Gen 3 LED modules are rated for 50,000+ hours of operation. At typical usage of four to six hours per night, that translates to roughly 20 to 30 years of nightly use before any measurable brightness loss.

The aluminum track does not degrade. The sealed connections and outdoor-rated control box are built to handle Alberta weather extremes, from -40°C winters to +35°C summers. The system is not just warranted for five years. It is engineered for decades.

For more on how the hardware holds up over time, see our guide on outdoor LED durability and permanent lighting specs.


Is the warranty transferable to a new homeowner?

If you sell your home, the permanent lighting system stays with the property. It is a fixed improvement, mounted to the fascia and wired into the home's electrical system.

Contact Number One Lights directly to discuss warranty transfer details. We can walk you through the process and confirm what coverage applies to the new owner based on the original installation date and system condition.

Having the warranty transfer documented properly protects both the seller and the buyer. It also adds value to the home sale, because the new owner knows the system is backed by the original installer.


Why warranty matters for resale value

Permanent outdoor lighting is a selling point. It improves curb appeal, enhances home security, and eliminates the cost and hassle of temporary seasonal lights.

When you can tell a buyer that the lighting system includes a transferable warranty and is backed by a local installer, it strengthens the value proposition. Buyers see a professionally installed, warrantied system and think maintenance-free and move-in ready.

Compare that to a home with no lighting, or worse, an uncertified DIY system with no documentation and no warranty. The difference in buyer confidence is significant.

Protecting your investment before and after the sale

Whether you plan to stay in your home for 20 years or sell next year, a few simple steps keep your warranty intact and your system in top condition:

  1. Keep your installation records. Number One Lights maintains records of every install, but having your own copy of the invoice and warranty documentation is good practice
  2. Do not modify the system yourself. Unauthorized electrical work or hardware changes can void coverage. If you want to extend the system or add zones, contact us for professional service
  3. Use the GOULY app for all control and scheduling. The app is the designed interface for the system. It keeps everything running within spec
  4. Notify us if you sell. A quick call or email lets us update our records and ensure the new homeowner has access to support

The long-term value of permanent lighting

A permanent lighting system is not a seasonal decoration. It is a home improvement that works every night of the year. It adds security, extends outdoor living hours, and makes your property look better from the street in every season.

The GOULY Gen 3 system is designed to deliver that value for decades. The 5-year warranty is the baseline. The actual performance window is much longer. And when it comes time to sell, having a warranted, professionally installed system on the home is a genuine advantage.
