LED lights for pergola
LED lights for pergola
A lit pergola becomes the heart of outdoor living after nightfall. Light under the rafters transforms the structure into a destination — a space where you linger after dinner, welcome friends on a Friday evening and enjoy the last warm hours of a Quebec autumn. Pergola lighting must be warm, weatherproof and discreet during the day. LEDCO offers complete LED solutions for pergolas — IP65 strips under rafters with aluminum profiles, solar string lights, waterproof transformers and PK2000 puck lights.
IP65 LED strips under pergola rafters
The most effective method for pergola lighting is IP65 LED strip running under the rafters or beams. Slid into an aluminum profile fixed directly on the wood or aluminum rafter, the strip diffuses soft downward light toward the entertaining area. No visible wiring, no harsh hot spots — just a continuous warm light line running along the pergola structure. In warm white 2700 K, these strips create a Mediterranean bistro terrace atmosphere. IP65 certification handles rain, night dew and water cleaning. Through our Builder tool, you order strip at the exact length of each pergola rafter, with aluminum profiles cut to match and delivered with mounting hardware. Result: a clean installation in under an hour per section.
LED string lights for festive and warm ambiance
Large-bulb LED string lights (Edison style) draped under the pergola roof create a festive and romantic effect reminiscent of restaurant terraces or southern garden parties. Hung in zigzag patterns between the crossbeams, they create a luminous canopy above the entertaining space. Available in wired versions (plugs into 120V outlet) or solar for pergolas without electrical access — they install in minutes with screw-in hooks.
PK2000 puck lights on posts and stairs
Pergola posts offer ideal locations for mid-height PK2000 fixtures that mark the structure and guide entry. Their warm golden halo at ground level creates an elegant scene visible from the house or garden. On any stairs or level changes, they ensure safe nighttime navigation. The low-voltage (12V) wiring runs easily through a hollow post or mounts on the surface with a matching cable cover.
IP67 waterproof transformer for permanent installations
For a pergola wired from the house, an IP67 transformer in a weatherproof enclosure on a post steps down 120V to 12V or 24V to feed the entire circuit. A single 60–100W transformer covers a standard pergola (6–8 meters of strip plus 4 PK2000 fixtures). Our team can help size your installation and select the right transformer for your pergola configuration.
Solar lighting for pergolas without electrical access
For a pergola at the back of the garden or far from the house, solar string lights or adjustable solar spotlights offer a wiring-free solution. The solar panel mounts on the pergola roof or nearby, and integrated batteries power the lighting all night. A dusk-to-dawn sensor activates lighting automatically.
