There’s one summer trend that I’ve been hearing about nonstop this year: where summer evenings stretch out, laughter lingers, and a good meal becomes a whole vibe. But without the right lighting, even the best-designed space can feel flat once the sun goes down. That’s where landscape lighting comes in, and Sunco’s outdoor lineup delivers big on both function and style. Whether you’re grilling for a crowd or sipping something cold under the stars, these five Sunco lights will elevate your outdoor kitchen from just “nice” to night-time masterpiece.  

A19 Bug Light  

One thing that stays consistent throughout every summertime backyard party is the bugs. Mosquitos, flies, moths...they tend to invite themselves to your barbeques. This is why no outdoor kitchen is complete without a Sunco bug light. These small but mighty yellow bulbs keep the bugs at bay without the strong, chemically smell of bug spray or citronella candles. Sunco bug lights are also transition seamlessly from dusk to dawn with an auto ON-OFF sensor so you can set it and forget it. 

Lotus Solar Path Light 

Outdoor kitchens need a lot of light to stay safe and functional after the sun goes down. That’s where solar path lights come in handy. Sunco carries a wide array of solar garden lights , but the Lotus is my personal favorite (don’t tell my product team). At 120 lumens, with a selectable color temperature (2700K warm to 4000K cool) and IP65 weatherproofing, these path lights are perfect for mood-setting ambiance around your prep island or patio edge. Their built-in solar photocell brings the ultimate sundown convenience. 

Firefly Garden Lights 

Want to add a bit of whimsy to your outdoor kitchen? These solar-powered “firefly” lights sway gently in the breeze, casting a soft, enchanting glow. Their unique design means they look perfect tucked among herbs or potted greens around your grill. You can even pop them straight into your garden to give the illusion of being surrounded by fireflies (without having to shoo them away from your food). 

Sunco String Lights 

String lights aren’t just a practical addition to an outdoor kitchen—they're also quite beautiful while remaining understated. They won’t be the star of the show, but they will do a wonderful job of keeping your yard looking warm and inviting. hese weatherproof string lights can withstand rain, snow, ice, and wind, so you never have to worry about leaving them out for long stretches of time. Available in 24 ft and 48 ft, they are perfect for outdoor kitchens of any size. 

Scope LED Landscape Spotlight 

Need a little targeted light for spotlighting your pizza oven or a decorative feature? Sunco's Scope spotlight has an adjustable beam angle, meaning you can direct light exactly where you need it without hassle. It gives a focal lighting effect that adds layers to any outdoor space. Plus, it’s low voltage, and you can easily link multiple together to add as much—or as little—light as you need. 

Why These Sunco Lights Outshine the Competition 

Many of Sunco’s outdoor landscape lights have built-in solar efficiency and overall ease of use. Dusk-to-dawn photocells allow for true automation, and low-voltage lights provide bright backyard illumination without hiking your electric bill. Plus, all of Sunco’s landscape lights are weatherproof, so you never have to worry about them being damaged in the rain. 

Add any of these products to your outdoor kitchen and see the difference they can make. Or, pair all of them together, and you've got an outdoor kitchen that’s not just functional—it’s cozy, customizable, and full of personality.
