Or, are you saying these do NOT fall under the auspices of the rules and regulation ? I've used Pike's, they were the original electrical contractor when we built and always knew what needed approval. Please be a little more clear on your answer to we are not led astray. Again, NOT tying to be confrontational at all, just wanted to know clearly the Villages stand on having pre-approval.
It sure looks like something that would require ARC approval. Typically, the deed restrictions require ARC approval for anything that would substantially "alter the exterior appearance" of the house. I wouldn't have it installed without seeking ARC approval. All it takes is one neighbor to complain, and you may need to remove or disable the lighting. My next door neighbor was required to remove a light from his flagpole because of a complaint by a neighbor behind his house.
