Make the backyard usable after dark

In Sacramento, summer life happens outside after the heat breaks — and that's usually after sunset.

Permanent lights along patio covers, pergolas and back eaves give you warm, even light without string lights to replace every year.

Run warm white for dinner, aqua for a night swim, or a party scene for guests — all from your phone.

Backyard living, every night

Permanent lights aren't just for the front of the house. We install along patio covers, pergolas and back eaves for a soft warm glow that's perfect for dinners, pool nights and summer gatherings. Dim it low for a relaxed evening, or add color for parties.

Designing your backyard zones

Backyard lighting works best in zones: patio cover or pergola, back eaves and pool area. Each can run its own brightness and color. A dim warm white for evening dinners, brighter for cleanup, and color for parties. The same controller runs the front of the home, so one app handles everything.

Because Sacramento summers are long and warm, backyards get used late into the night. Permanent lights mean no more string lights sagging in the heat or wrapping around posts every spring.

Better than string lights

String lights look nice at first but sag, break and fade in Sacramento's summer sun. A permanent run under the back eaves or patio cover gives you clean, even light that stays put and is rated for 100,000 hours.

You can dim it for dinner, brighten it for cleaning up, or add a little color for parties, all from your phone.

Making summer evenings usable

Sacramento evenings are warm and long for much of the year, which is when most people actually use the backyard. Good lighting means you can stay out after sunset. Warm white tones also tend to feel more relaxing than cool white.

Front and back on one system

If you also light the front of the house, the patio can be on the same system but controlled separately. The front can show holiday colors while the back stays warm white for dinner.

Common questions

Can you install on a patio cover or pergola?

Yes — wood, aluminum or Alumawood covers in most cases. We'll check on your quote visit.

Can the backyard be controlled separately?

Yes. Front and back can be separate zones.

Is it safe near the pool?

We install on the structure, well away from water, using sealed outdoor-rated LEDs.
