A terrace can be a favourite place for lunch and still feel uninviting once the sun goes down. If you would like to enjoy evening meals, a quiet drink or more time outside with friends, lighting deserves a place in your awning or pergola plans.
Integrated markilux lighting offers a way to bring light into your shading system. The right choice depends on how you use your terrace and which options are compatible with your model. Here is what to consider for your Mallorca home.
Start with how you spend your evenings
Think about where you sit, what you do and which parts of the terrace you want to illuminate. A dining table has different needs from a corner used for reading or a seating area overlooking the garden.
For relaxed evenings, consider where a gentle glow would make the space more welcoming. For meals and conversation, discuss how the available lighting will serve the table and surrounding seating. Tell us about any existing wall or garden lights, too, so we can consider the terrace as a whole.
Warm white or a choice of colours?
Warm white lighting can suit a terrace used for everyday dining and relaxing. If you would also like to change the mood for an occasion, ask about RGB-WW options, which offer warm white light alongside a choice of colours.
Availability depends on the markilux model and configuration. Rather than choosing from a photograph alone, ask which options can be specified for your particular awning or pergola and how they would work in your space.
Check compatibility before choosing
Lighting is worth discussing at the same time as the awning or pergola itself. Your preferred model, the layout of your terrace and the lighting options available all need to work together.
If you already own a markilux system, send us the model details and photographs before planning an upgrade. We will check what is possible; lighting should not be assumed to be a retrofit option for every existing installation.

Ask how the lighting will be controlled
Before deciding, ask how you will switch the lights on, adjust any available settings and use them alongside your shading system. Confirm which controls are included in the quotation and which are optional.
If dimming, colour selection or integration with other controls matters to you, mention it early. These features need to be checked against the proposed model and configuration rather than assumed to be standard.
