Most Practical & Unique Pergola Lighting Ideas in 2023
Entertaining is a lot of fun, but what is not so fun is when everyone feels closed in your home due to lack of available outdoor space. You want your guests to feel comfortable at all times and often, turning an indoor dinner party into an outdoor one can be the best solution. Homeowners and renters, however, may have a difficult time ensuring there is adequate outdoor space and enough shade for all. Often, building restrictions keep a homeowner or renter from adding on to the existing structure of their home. A pergola can be a better option.
What makes a pergola so special is the fact that it can be a freestanding structure, if necessary and most regional building codes allow for them to be built. A pergola helps you manage the need for shade without building an entirely solid roof structure. Pergolas can be a beautiful addition to any outdoor space and they can be excellent for hanging lighting for a more pleasing and functional outdoor environment.

Outdoor Wall Sconces
Although this option does require the expertise of a qualified electrician, outdoor wall sconces make for a more elegant lighting option for your pergola. They are very different than those located in your home. Although the wiring is essentially the same, outdoor sconces are built with specialized materials to help them stand up to the weather. Weather resistant design and high intensity metals keep your outdoor wall sconce long lasting.
These devices come in a wide range of styles to choose from and it is easy to find one that perfectly suits the existing décor of your pergola. Varieties of colors and unique shapes allow you to make your outdoor space truly your own. Outdoor sconces can be affixed directly to your pergola and wires hidden within the structure for a more aesthetically pleasing look.

Starburst Swaying Solar Garden Lights
There is not always a need to string lights or even call in an electrician to set up sconces. Lighting also does not need to come from above. Some of the prettiest lighting options for your pergola will not even be related to the structure. MAXvolador Starburst Swaying Solar Garden Lights provide stunning lighting that blends into your existing greenery. These lights sway with the wind and provide a warm, calming effect to your lighting needs.
Although they sway with the wind, they are designed to be completely weather resistant and last for many years. They are also solar which means there is no drain on the existing power structure of your home. If you are looking for a unique and captivating form of lighting for your pergola, look no further than these.
Solar Deck Lighting
Solar deck lighting is ideal for areas where tapping into your existing electrical system is impractical. The beauty of the lights is found in their ultimate versatility. Solar deck lighting is designed to light the path, but they can be used around your pergola to light seating and keep the path well lit for your guests. Solar deck lighting tends to work best in accordance with other lighting options to provide just the right amount of light for the space.
Lighting your pergola is easier than ever before. Whether you are looking to hardwire lighting into your structure or desire to use the versatility of solar options, the right lighting is out there. There is no need for the party to end just because the sun sets.

Rechargeable Camp Lanterns
Stringing up lights can take a lot of time and sometimes, it is not practical to have lighting up at all times. Often, homeowners desire ultimate versatility as opposed to exciting lighting that dances with you. These rechargeable hanging camp lanterns are great for multiple uses. They easily hand on any pergola and can be strung together on a cord if multiple lights are required. The best thing about this type of lighting is how they can be placed on a table for a softer lighting effect or used as a spotlight when required.
Hanging camp lanterns are affordable and far more versatile than many other types of pergola lighting. Additionally, if you happen to be a renter, your landlord may prefer lights not be hung from the pergola or plugged in at all times. These are also rechargeable, so you do not need to run around looking for replacement batteries when an unexpected gathering occurs after the sun goes down.
