PATIO & GARDEN LIGHTING
Bistro String: permanent bistro lights for patios
Full-color S14 bistro bulbs over patios, pergolas and walkways. Lights and clips, priced per foot of hang path.
S14 bistro bulbs on two-foot centers, each with a dedicated 3000K white diode so the everyday setting is the warm cafe glow people buy bistro lights for. Switch to color for a party from the same app as the roofline.
Priced per foot of hang path, not ground distance, with the control system quoted separately. Poles and guide cable, where needed for open spans, are priced separately at twice material cost.
How it's installed
Strung on clips along eaves and pergola beams, or on a stainless guide cable for spans between posts. Twist-lock connectors mean no cutting or splicing on site.
Can share a controller with a roofline package, which drops the system line if both are installed together.
Best for
- Patios, pergolas and outdoor kitchens
- Restaurants, breweries and event patios
- A warm 3000K string nightly with color for parties

How it's priced
We charge by the foot: simple, honest, no hidden fees. Your written quote spells out everything before any work starts.
Measured along the path the string follows, including the sag between posts. The control system is its own line in the quote, unless it shares a controller with a roofline package.
Poles, support cable and new outlets may add to the total; confirm each item before accepting the quote.
