PERGOLAS AND GAZEBOS · RALEIGH, NC

Pergola and Gazebo Lighting

GROOVEE Lighting installs pergola lighting and gazebo lighting around Raleigh and Holly Springs, NC: light strips under rafters, downlights in covered ceilings and outlines along the roof edge. Outdoor kitchens and pavilions get the same treatment.

What's included

Light built into the structure you already have.

A pergola or gazebo is the natural center of an outdoor room. Light strips tucked under the rafters, downlights in a covered ceiling and an outline along the roof edge make it glow from across the yard and give you working light underneath.

Warm light strips tucked along rafters and beams

Ceilings

How it is designed

Glow from across the yard, working light underneath.

Pergola lighting works in two layers. The rafters carry a soft line of light that makes the whole frame visible from the house. Underneath, focused light lands on the table, the grill or the sofa, where you need to see.

Gazebo lighting follows the same idea. Downlights in the ceiling light the floor, and an outline on the roof edge marks the shape from the lawn. A lit path out to the gazebo ties it back to the house.

Covered outdoor kitchens get ceiling downlights over the counters and grill, plus an accent line along the roof edge.

Pricing

Priced by the structure and the layers you pick.

The price follows the size of the structure, the layers you choose and how far the power has to travel.

A roof-edge outline alone takes less than rafters, ceiling and path together.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you light a pergola?

Light strips go along the rafters or beams for a soft glow, and focused lights land on the seating or table below.

Can you light a gazebo that has no power?

We look at the nearest outdoor outlet at the estimate visit and design the run from there, in writing.

Do you light covered outdoor kitchens?

Yes. Downlights go in the ceiling over the counters and grill, with an accent line along the roof edge if you want one.

Can pergola lights change color?

Color-capable strips can run warm white every night and switch to color on a schedule or from an app.

Can you add string lights to a pergola?

Yes. Bistro strands can follow or cross the beams. The string light page covers how they are hung.
