Deck lighting makes evenings outdoors possible.
Summer evening is a wonderful time to be outside, especially given that the temperatures are cooler and the lightning bugs are out. As nice as it might be outside, you won’t get much out of it if you can’t see anything. That’s why outdoor lighting is necessary for your outdoor living space. If you have a backyard deck, you can use any of these types of deck lighting.
2 Types of Deck Lighting (Power)
LED Lights
LED lights are the most popular kind of lighting today for interiors and exteriors alike. They do not consume much energy, produce little to no heat, and give off bright, warm lighting. LEDs are excellent for bright, long-term deck lighting.
Solar Lights
Solar-powered deck lights do not need electrical work or batteries. They work on their own. You can find any kind of deck lighting in solar-power form. They are especially useful for areas farther away from your house that need lighting but can work well on back decks, too.
5 Types of Deck Lighting (Ideas)
In-Floor Deck Lights
Deck lights can be flush with the deck platform. In-floor deck lighting usually sits around the perimeter to create a well-lit, well-defined space. They are out of the way but provide sufficient visibility and a nice ambiance.
Deck Railing Post Lights
An alternative would be deck railing post lights. These lights are built into the deck railing’s posts. Like in-floor deck lights, they help light up the overall area and are still nicely out of the way.
Under-Railing Lights
If you want sufficient lighting with a subtle glow, then under-railing deck lights could be for you. Lights placed under deck railings are invisible to the average adult but make the deck luminous at night.
Deck Stair Lights
If any part of the deck could use built-in lights, it is the stairs. You want to stay safe when you go up and down the stairs at night. Deck lights built into the risers do an excellent job and elevate your deck’s look.
Post Cap Lights
Post cap lights are not necessarily built into the deck; it depends on whether they are solar or LED. These types of deck lighting can be very decorative; you have options!
