Sol-Lux, a subsidiary of Carefree of Colorado (a global leader in RV awnings) with over 50 years of awning manufacturing experience, has announced its first-time exhibition at the 2024 CEDIA Expo. Sol-Lux will showcase its complete product suite, including the Mirage and Freedom patio awnings, and the fully autonomous EOS window awning.
Sol-Lux’s Mirage and Freedom patio awnings utilize Somfy motorization, which can function as standalone awnings using the Somfy Situo Remote or integrate seamlessly with third-party home automation systems when adding the Somfy Tahoma Hub. Their flagship Mirage patio awning is enhanced with dimmable LED lighting, available in 2700K or 6000K, adding ambient lighting to any outdoor space. These patio awnings span up to 21-foot widths and offer up to 12 feet of sun protection coverage, depending on the model selected.
The EOS window awning requires zero user interaction, operating autonomously by adjusting based on sun exposure, wind, and temperature sensitivities set at configuration. It is solar-powered and battery-operated, promoting energy efficiency. Manual operation and setup can be managed through the Sol-Lux app. The EOS awning is available in widths up to 120 inches with a 45-degree angle pitch, effectively blocking the sun when needed most without compromising the exterior view. By blocking the sun during peak hours, the EOS awning helps maintain interior temperatures, reducing the run time of a home’s HVAC system and further improving overall energy efficiency.
All Sol-Lux awnings feature advanced integrated sensors that offer additional protection by safely retracting the awnings during extreme winds or inclement weather. Both patio and window awnings are customizable in size, motor location (patio awnings only), cassette colors, and Sunbrella or Recasens (Mirage and Freedom only) marine-grade acrylic textile color options, enhancing their stylish aesthetic. The battery-operated Freedom and EOS models do not require an electrician, making installation and servicing straightforward and efficient for installers.
