The Markilux Patio Awning with Lights

The conventional, if such a term can be used with this Markilux 1550 patio awning inovation, installation of lights has been within the cassette but Markilux awnings , with typical practical foresight, have seen a potential but very real, difficulty with this strategy.

Awnings are usually used on nice days and on nice days one would expect the windows to be open. Markilux realised that installing the lights in the cassette would attract the insects, which are inevitably attracted to light, to buzz their irritating way around the cassette and inevitably through the open windows to do their worst within.Mounting the lights on the Markilux 1550 awning profile of course has the opposite effect and draws the bugs away from the house whilst producing a pleasant downward glow just where you want it on your guests and not just down the wall.
