Built Into the Structure, Not Bolted On

Integrated pergola lighting extends your outdoor hours well past sunset, without string lights draped across the beams or extension cords running to the nearest outlet. StruXure Atlanta builds lighting directly into the pergola system, so it functions as part of the structure rather than an afterthought clamped on later. Whether you're finishing a late dinner or settling in with guests on a cool evening, the space is ready when you are.

Lighting Options and Configurations

StruXure lighting is integrated into the structure, and the configuration is built around how you actually use the patio, from full-coverage illumination to focused light over a single zone. Here are a few configurations we can do:

Structural Ambient Lighting: Illuminates the full coverage area evenly from within the pergola framework without exposed fixtures or visible light sources
Directional Lighting: Focuses light toward specific zones, useful for dining areas, outdoor kitchen setups, or conversation spaces
Accent Options: Highlights architectural detail and frames the space for evening use, adding visual depth and character

All lighting selections happen during the design phase, reflecting how you plan to use the space throughout the year.

One App for the Whole Space

StruXure systems integrate with the Somfy smart control platform, which lets you dim or brighten your lights and adjust them alongside the motorized louvered roof directly from your phone or remote. This simple, easy convenience lets you tailor your pergola to changing needs throughout the day or seasons without needing to hunt for switches or climb a ladder to adjust fixtures.

Lighting as Part of a Fully Integrated Outdoor Space

Lighting works best alongside other accessories. A covered space with integrated lighting and overhead heat feels genuinely usable for an October evening, and most homeowners find that a few features together change how the space gets used more than any single one does on its own.

Common pairings include:

Outdoor speakers to play music while entertaining
Ceiling fans for air movement during warm months
Retractable screens and glass walls for privacy, bugs, and weather
Overhead heaters for cool evenings and shoulder seasons

These accessories are built into the structure and activated together at installation.

Designed for Atlanta's Outdoor Conditions

Greater Atlanta's climate puts outdoor structures through humid summers, temperature swings, and intense heat that shortens the lifespan of lower-grade materials. StruXure systems use aircraft-grade aluminum frames and premium powder-coated finishes that hold up without fading, warping, or corroding over years of exposure.

Because wiring runs internally through sealed structural channels, it isn't exposed to humidity and UV that degrade external fixture mounts over time. This design choice extends the lifespan and reliability of the entire lighting system.

Common Questions About Pergola Lighting

Lighting is designed as an integrated feature, built into the framework during installation, so it's cleanest when it's part of the original design. If you already have a StruXure pergola and want to add lighting, schedule a design consultation, and we'll assess your system and walk through realistic options.

Integrated lighting is available across the systems we build in Atlanta:

Pivot 6 Series: our louvered pergola line
Pan 6: the fixed-roof system
Cabana: the fully enclosed structure

Your specific configuration can be discussed during your design consultation.

Yes. StruXure systems serve commercial applications like restaurants and hospitality venues across Atlanta. Integrated lighting extends operating hours for revenue-generating outdoor spaces.
