Evenings by the pool, beautifully lit.

Lighting for screened pool enclosures, lanais and pool decks, so your favorite outdoor space doesn’t close at sunset.

The Florida pool cage, reimagined at night.

Screened pool enclosures are part of life in Southwest Florida. They keep out bugs and leaves and make the pool deck an extra room of the house. But once the sun sets, many of them go dark, lit by a single pool light and a bright fixture by the slider.

Thoughtful pool cage lighting changes how you use the space. Soft light along the enclosure frame, warm accents on the deck, and lit palms beyond the screen turn the lanai into the place everyone gathers after dinner.

What a pool cage lighting design can include

  • Enclosure frame lighting: subtle lighting along the beams and structure of the cage.
  • Deck and step lighting: low-level light that makes edges, steps and walkways safe after dark.
  • Lanai and seating areas: warm, comfortable light for dining and conversation.
  • The view beyond: uplit palms and gardens outside the screen, so the view stays alive at night.
  • Bistro and string lights: a relaxed, festive layer. See patio & bistro lighting.

Safety and comfort, together

Wet decks, pool edges and steps need to be clearly visible at night, but nobody wants to sit under a floodlight. We layer low, glare-free lighting for safe movement with softer accent light for atmosphere, so the space feels both safe and relaxing.

We also keep Florida conditions in mind: humidity, heavy summer rain, pool chemicals and, near the water, salt air. Materials and connections are chosen with those conditions in mind.

Questions, answered

Pool cage lighting FAQ.

What is pool cage lighting?

Pool cage lighting lights the screened enclosure around your pool and lanai, typically with fixtures along the frame and beams, plus accent lighting around the deck and plantings, so the whole space is usable and beautiful at night.

Can you light around the outside of the pool cage too?

Yes. Palms, gardens and the view beyond the screen look stunning when lit, and lighting outside the cage keeps the view from turning into a black wall at night.

Will the lights attract bugs into the lanai?

Warm-colored light tends to attract fewer insects than bright, cool-white light, which is one reason we favor warm tones for pool and lanai spaces.
