Fall Patio Lighting Tips

Integrated Pergola Lighting Offers Multifunctional Use

A bright, beautiful home pergola is the ultimate backyard lighting addition. Integrating recessed pot lights or ceiling fans with lighting into the design of your home pergola will provide multifunctional illumination year-round. When paired with today’s latest dimmable, color-changing LED bulb technology, your lighting options are nearly limitless. Turn up the lumens on your built-in pergola lights to accomplish cooking tasks, dim them for a relaxing evening at home, or adjust bulb colors to your holiday theme. Look to leading brands for programmable smartphone or voice-command operation, or utilize Somfy technology, operating your StruXure pergola and built-in lighting via your home automation system.

Ambient Lighting Sets the Stage

Add an otherworldly glow to your porch or patio, incorporating rope or strip lights in a single shade surrounding the perimeter of your pergola. Or add the soft glow of fairy lights, creating a magical ambiance surrounding your pergola covered space. Take care with installation, ensuring all lighting components remain clear of the moving parts of your motorized louvered pergola system. Solar and electric remote control and mobile app-driven ambient lighting options are fun and easy to use. Like conventional LED light bulbs, many options on the market include color changing and light sequencing features.
