Lighting solutions for Pergolas and Awnings are crucial for creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere during evening hours. The available lighting options depend on the chosen product and often utilise LED technology, known for its low energy consumption. These LED lights offer adjustable intensity and colour to suit different preferences and needs.
The Carrera Pergola represents the next evolution in bioclimatic outdoor living, offering an innovative approach to solar shading. As the first pergola with alternating blades—both fixed and movable, Carrera redefines how light and shadow interact throughout the day.
