3 Ideas for Lighting Your Deck This Summer
Deck lighting is one of the best ways to bring new life into almost any type of deck, and even if the deck itself is not aesthetically appealing in full daylight, the right lighting can make it visually stunning in the evening hours. Some deck lighting options are extremely complex, using the same high-voltages that indoor lighting employs, but these are actually quite inefficient, particularly when compared with solar deck lights.
Powering deck lighting with higher voltages not only uses much more power, but it also carries several significant risks that can result in fires, electrical shocks and personal injury. Solar lighting, on the other hand, uses very low comparable voltages, much too low to start a fire or shock someone. These aspects make solar lighting the best options for decks, as there are dozens of ways that small, strategically-placed lights can yield affects far beyond their physical size.
Post Cap Lights
Post cap lights are excellent ways to add style and function to your deck, without having to take out a second mortgage to accomplish it; post cap lights can found on the Internet and at many familiar home-improvement outlets for less than two-hundred dollars, for a typical set containing four to six individual lights. These cap lights are some of the most impressive and useful lighting accents that you can add to your deck, and they help light the rail, stairs and can extend to fence posts all the way around the yard.
Hanging Solar Deck Lights and Sconce Lighting
Hanging solar deck lights are another great idea for livening up your deck, and at a price that allows you to get more than just one, often costing less than thirty dollars for some of the most elegant designs. These can be hung just about anywhere, including from overhanging trees, and typically run for about eight hours at a time.
Sconce lighting, lighting hanging flush with a wall or other flat surface, is another very stylish accent lighting idea, although, sconce lighting often calls for more involved installation; these tend have very limited mounting alternatives, particularly since the entire weight of the light is too much for a simple adhesive to handle in an outdoor setting.
Recessed Lighting
Another stunning, yet slightly more complicated, solar deck lighting alternative is the recessed, also known as flush-mounted, lighting strategy. This entails just what the name implies, installing the lights so they are flush, or even with, the surface of the deck. These are very effective on the risers of stairs or under hand-rails and function as safety and security lighting. Just as with the other options, these also impart a beautiful accent to your deck and the areas that surround it.
Whether you are looking to light an entire backyard setting or just the deck area, solar lighting is cheaper, more flexible and much safer than traditional lighting. With the vast number of products and options now available, finding the right solution is often no more difficult than a few moments spent shopping online.
