# Night view: see the lighting before the first evening on the patio

By Sunscape team · 2026-10-09

> Move the sun to dusk and watch LED strips, pendants, hood lights and fire features come on — the view that sells an outdoor kitchen.

Outdoor kitchens get used most after the sun goes down. In the 3D configurator you can see how yours will look then.

### Move the sun

Use the day and night control to move from bright afternoon to dusk. Shadows follow the sun across the patio.

### Lights that come on

At dusk the lighting you've designed switches on: LED strips under the counter and bar overhangs, pendants under a pergola, wall lights, and the vent hood's lights — bright white for cooking, blue for hosting.

### Fire features

Light the grills, a fire pit, a linear fire or a fireplace and see the glow on the island and the faces around it.

### Share the moment

Save a picture of the night view, record the day-to-night walkthrough as a short video, or send an AI Render at dusk. On customer view links you can let your customer switch day and night themselves.
