Lighting systems are a great addition to the backyard of your home, especially when paired with a pergola. Not only do these lights provide a warm feeling, but they also provide a fantastic setting for backyard parties and endless entertaining.
Aluminum flipped pergolas are lightweight and easy to handle, but only if you make sure they are installed correctly to ensure years of durability.
When it comes to adding lights to a pergola, there are usually several options and designs to follow. Overall, there is no right or wrong way to hang lights on a pergola, but there is a difference between easy and difficult.
Purchase high quality, outdoor safe lights. Keep in mind that weatherproofing is very important when installing electric lights outdoors. Also, the choice of these lights should be LED lights, not incandescent, so as not to harm the vines and plants around the pergola. As far as the hanging method is concerned, size, color and overall design do not matter. You just need to make sure that you purchase enough lights to cover all the pillars, slats, or areas you choose to cover.
After you have installed your light fixtures, you will need to test the lighting.
Remove the fixtures from their packaging and measure them to ensure that there are enough fixtures for your needs. You don’t want to find out that you are missing enough fixtures to stop the assembly process midway or halfway through the process.
If you don’t want to go through all that trouble, consider choosing a pergola product that comes with a lighting system. That way it is easy to assemble and will be safer to use. Chembo’s pergola not only comes with dual-color LED lights on the beams and 7-color RGB ambient lights on the columns, but in addition to that, it is also thoughtfully designed with lighting effects under the louvers.
