Cafe Lights and Bluetooth Timer on Pergola

[bmoreswim]

I purchased these string cafe lights the other day. There are many similar ones available these days. Super impressed with the quality and appearance.

Also bought this Bluetooth outdoor timer. Very nice app to control it and again very impressed. Set them to run from sunset to 11:00 pm. They are on our pergola which is far from the pool so no concerns there.

I use an outdoor extension cord. Outlet is about 20' away but still on part of my wood deck.

That timer and its app work great. Multiple timers can run off the same app. Haven't tried the dimmable indoor lamp version...yet.
