Pool Cage Lighting in Sarasota, FL

Pool cage lighting in Sarasota, FL, permanent JellyFish LEDs mounted on the cage frame, typically costs $4,500–6,000 for most cages and is usually installed in about a day. Our Venice-based crew designs the layout, mounts the lights in color-matched channel, and sets up the app with you. Larger and two-story cages cost more.

Pool cage lighting across Sarasota

Sarasota is about twenty minutes up the Trail from our Venice shop, and it is the heart of our route. Lanais here get used for dinner, for friends by the pool, and for the walk back from the driveway after a show downtown, so cage lighting has to be comfortable: bright enough to use the space, never harsh, and without shadows where you don't want them.

Palmer Ranch is mostly gated communities with active architectural review. Warm white on the cage frame, in color-matched channel, is what most homeowners there run, and we give you the spec sheet and daytime photos for your application. On Siesta Key and along the bayfront in Osprey, salt air is the climate, not the exception; the aluminum channel and sealed, low-voltage LEDs are made for it, and we route every connection with the coast in mind.

West of Trail, in the older neighborhoods between the Trail and the bay, homes are bigger, trees are mature, and there is usually no HOA. The cage, the oaks, and the palms can all run on one app. Nokomis and Lakewood Ranch are on the same Sarasota route.

How it works

Lights on the frame. Verticals dark. One app.

Most Southwest Florida lanais go dark at sunset, or get one harsh fixture. Permanent LED lights along the cage's horizontal members change that: clean white light for everyday evenings, and any color or animation for parties, from one app.

Pool cages are high-visibility structures, and bad lighting shows: gaps, crooked runs, exposed wire. Our crew also builds and rescreens cages through our sister company, Gulf Coast Rescreen, so we know how a cage goes together, where the lights belong, and how they survive a rescreen. Individual lights on the horizontal members, verticals dark, an optional ribbon along the pool coping. Designed to your structure, installed with trim-matched channel.

What moves the number on a cage

Linear feet

Roofline or cage perimeter is the biggest factor. A long, low ranch and a compact two-story can cost the same.

Cage height

Tall or two-story cages need lifts and more careful routing.

Lights or Saber

Standard JellyFish lights are the value option. The Saber Series is a continuous line of light and is priced per foot.

Zones

Front and back on separate controls, or one zone for everything.

“Absolutely love our lights. The design is great how they seamlessly attached to the house and match the soffit color. Can’t tell they are there till they are on. You can set any color or theme for any occasion or holiday. The best part is no more putting up Christmas lights.”

FAQ

Pool cage questions from Sarasota

How much does pool cage lighting cost in Sarasota?

Most cages run $4,500–6,000 installed. Projects start at $4,500; larger and two-story cages run more, and adding the pool coping ribbon or landscape lights adds to it. Your estimate is an exact number after we see the property.

How long does the install take?

Usually about a day. Most cages are done in a single day; a larger two-story home, or a full roofline plus the cage, can take two.

Is it safe to have lights around a pool?

Yes. The lights mount to the aluminum cage frame and run on low voltage, and the controller and power connection sit away from the pool. We design every layout to Florida's pool electrical code.

What if I get the cage rescreened later?

The lights stay put. They are on the frame, not the screen, and our sister company Gulf Coast Rescreen works around them every week. Tell your rescreen crew, or use ours.

Do you light pool cages on Siesta Key and in Osprey?

Yes. Both are part of our Sarasota route, along with Nokomis and Palmer Ranch.
