Introducing Stratco's Louvre Lighting

louvre lighting blog feature image

Transform your Stratco Outback® Sunroof or Stratco Pavillion Allure with Stratco Louvre Lighting which creates a welcoming ambience and sense of security. These Patio louvre downlights are the perfect way to illuminate your BBQ and alfresco dining area day and night, all year round.

Stratco Louvre Lighting is a new innovation, exclusive to Stratco, which sees downlights installed inside the patio's louvres to create a bright & ambient space that can be customised to your liking. Today’s design aesthetic calls for smooth ceilings and recessed lighting as seen through the popularity of the recessed downlight. Profiles like Stratco Outback® Cooldek have vertical space for downlights to be recessed into the insulated panel, and in doing so, achieve this desired aesthetic while throwing out light to make the space useful for after-dark entertaining.

The Stratco louvre patio systems; Stratco Pavilion Allure and Stratco Outback® Sunroof, are the perfect solutions to make the most of daytime entertaining in any weather by:

  • bringing in light under the patio while maintaining desired levels of shade
  • providing shelter from the rain
  • stimulating air flow by drawing breezes under the structure

However, one thing that all louvre patio systems have struggled with is illuminating the space under the structure at night without the need for unsightly mounted lighting fixtures. Stratco’s Louvre Lighting system explicitly designed for Stratco Pavilion Allure and Stratco Outback® Sunroof has solved this challenge creating a lighting system to be recessed into the louvre blade resulting in the desired smooth ceiling finish with plenty of light to kick on into the night.  

You can customise or build onto your louvre lighting system with other component kits. Stratco offers the standard kit with four 5W LED patio louvre lights, the expansion kit with two 5W LED patio louvre lights, the controller kit which includes a LED controller, and the retro-fit controller kit which can be paired with an existing sunroof or allure unit.

If you'd like the option of controlling your louvre downlights from the comfort of your chair, you can purchase an additional piece of hardware that will allow you to control your lights, straight from your smartphone. 

The Stratco Louvre Lighting system is comprised of bright 500-lumen LED lights with a daylight white 5000k colour temperature, to maintain that natural, outdoor feeling. The louvre downlights are also dimmable if you do find they are too bright when the sun goes down. Simply grab your remote and dim them to set the mood under your patio. Its safe 24V plug & play design makes it a simple DIY install for any Stratco Outback® owner. 

This may not be the first time you've seen the Stratco Louvre Lighting system, with it being installed on The Block by Rachel & Ryan in their Stratco Outback® Sunroof Patio.

Rachel & Ryan had the Stratco Louvre Lighting installed in their 3 louvre banks, which ensured their outdoor area could be enjoyed day & night, no matter the weather. If you are also interested in the Stratco Louvre Lighting system for your patio, please contact us or click the button below.
