Description
When it comes to enhancing the functionality and atmosphere of your outdoor space, lighting plays a crucial role. The Orion Prime Series by Apollo NZ offers two premium LED lighting options — LED Louvre Lights and LED Surround Lights — designed to complement the system’s sleek architecture while providing both practicality and ambience.
In this guide, we’ll explain the main differences between these two lighting options and help you decide which is best suited to your outdoor environment.
💡 LED Louvre Lights: Subtle Illumination Built into the Roof Blades
LED Louvre Lights are integrated directly into the underside of each louvre blade.
They provide a discreet and uniform glow, creating an elegant lighting effect across your entire roof area.
Key Benefits:
Even Light Distribution: Offers consistent illumination across the entire pergola or outdoor area.
Streamlined Design: Built directly into the louvre blades for a clean, modern look with no visible fittings.
Functional & Ambient: Ideal for both general lighting and mood creation during evening gatherings.
Smart Control Compatibility: Operates via remote or smart-home systems (optional Tuya integration available).
Best For:
Homeowners and hospitality spaces wanting premium, integrated lighting that enhances visibility while maintaining a minimalist design.
✨ LED Surround Lights: Perimeter Lighting with Architectural Impact
LED Surround Lights are installed along the inner beam perimeter of the Orion Prime frame, providing a more dramatic architectural effect.
This lighting option frames the structure beautifully and accentuates the lines of the pergola.
Key Benefits:
Architectural Highlight: Defines the shape and structure of your pergola at night.
Customisable Ambience: Available in warm white or RGB colour options for personalised moods.
Independent Operation: Can be used separately from the louvre lights for flexible lighting control.
Enhanced Atmosphere: Perfect for evening entertaining or creating visual contrast around outdoor furniture and pools.
Best For:
Design-focused spaces seeking accent lighting that adds drama, colour, and character to outdoor architecture.
⚙️ Combined Lighting Options for Maximum Impact
Many clients choose to combine both LED Louvre and Surround Lights for the best of both worlds — practical illumination and ambient accenting.
The integration is seamless, controlled from a single remote or smart-control hub, allowing you to adjust brightness, tone, and colour to suit any occasion.
🔧 Built for the Outdoors
Both lighting systems are engineered for New Zealand’s diverse climate:
IP67 Waterproof Rating for reliability in wet conditions.
Low-voltage, energy-efficient LED technology.
Durable aluminium housings designed to resist corrosion.
🌙 Choosing the Right Lighting for Your Orion Prime System
