Whether it’s spring, summer, fall, or winter — we want to enjoy our backyard all year round. Making the most of your outdoor space and relaxing outside after sunset is even more enjoyable with the right lighting. With these three tips, you can create the perfect atmosphere under your pergola or awning and make the most of your outdoor area well into the evening, no matter the season.
Lighting on your patio is not only functional, but it also creates a cozy atmosphere. Moreover, there is no need for additional lighting in your garden if you equip your patio cover or articulated awning with built-in lighting. Brustor patio roofs and awnings come with a wide range of durable LED lighting that you can fully personalize according to your needs.

Both patio covers and awnings offer various lighting options. Depending on the type of patio covering, LED lighting can be installed in the pillars, the frame, the structure, or the louvers. LED spots in the structure or in the gutters are also an option.
For awnings, there are several lighting options as well: a LED strip under the cassette or in the entire arm, a spotlight in the elbow, or LED in the awning box. The possibilities also depend on the type of awning. We recommend choosing both atmospheric and functional lighting so that there is a suitable light for every occasion. Extra tip: a LED strip under the cassette of an awning can also be used when the awning is closed. This way, you also have ideal terrace lighting.

Now you can choose the color and intensity of your lighting. Brustor covers are available with RGB LED lighting in a wide range of colors. The most popular lighting, however, is plain "white" light. But even in white light, there are different nuances.
The whiteness of light is expressed in degrees Kelvin. The higher the value, the whiter the light. This varies in value between warm white and neutral white. The light value of the Brustor LED lighting is closer to neutral white (3,500°) than to warm white (2,750°). Warm light gives a yellowish, cozy glow and is especially soothing. It is closest to candlelight and creates little contrast. Warm light is therefore ideal for atmospheric lighting, but it is less pleasant for reading, for example. Cold light is particularly good for increasing productivity and is used mainly in offices and work environments. Neutral light lies in between and is often used as lighting in living rooms, for example.

The great advantage of lighting in your awning or patio roof is that the lighting is beautifully incorporated into the structure. It forms a beautiful and sleek ensemble without visible screws or wiring. Moreover, the lighting is easy to operate via remote control, smartphone, or tablet.
