Lighting to put on an Arbor/Pergola

10 years ago

I purchased a 12x14 pergola which I just finished sealing.
It's now ready for some lights. I would love the look of warm lights. Nothing too bright but not too dull either.
I'm leaning towards solar rather than AC plug in or battery.
I want something pretty and something that will last at least 2 years or so if possible?
I have found some lights but they're Christmas string lights. I would rather have something different and made of high quality.
Please let me know if you have any ideas on where to get these?

Thanks!

You'd need a solar panel, large enough battery and low voltage lighting. Perhaps a low voltage dimmer would also be required

All would need an ipx65 or better water resistant rating.
Goalzero has the first 2 and barebones living has the last item. Btw, the 2 companies are related.

If the style of the lights is unsuitable, superbrightleds or environmentallights could offer alternatives.
