Installing deck lighting not only enhances your property, it’s also a safety feature that allows you to enjoy your outdoor space after dark. Incorporate a few different kinds of lighting into your overall plan to make your outdoor space safe and inviting. Most wired outdoor lighting has a solar powered option so choose the type that best suits your space and your DIY skill level.

Deck floor lights can be installed either flush with or on the surface of the decking material and are great for hard to light areas. Stair lights install on the risers of steps and shine down to illuminate stair treads. Post lighting or post cap lighting adds an architectural detail to the railing as well as defining the perimeter of the deck. String lights draped over your deck area add a festive ambiance. Candle lanterns can serve a dual purpose; as decorative lighting and to keep bugs away with citronella candles.
