Where it goes
- Pergolas: a continuous line under each beam, warm and dimmable
- Outdoor kitchens and bars: task light where you cook, glow under the counter edge
- Seat walls and steps: low light where people sit and walk
- Patio edges: a soft boundary so the space reads as a room
Better than string lights
String lights sag, fade and come down every few years. A permanent line under the beams looks cleaner, stays up, and can do warm white, dim or color.
Near the pool
Lighting within a few feet of a pool follows stricter electrical rules. We light the pergola, kitchen and walls set back from the water. Anything at the pool's edge or in the water is designed with a licensed electrician or your pool builder.
