The right lighting can change everything. On a backyard deck, that could mean the ability to use your deck for evening parties, campfire nights, and easy access in and out of the house at night. Even when no one is around, the right deck lighting can give you peace of mind. Exterior lighting allows you to tread deck stairs safely and be aware of anyone or anything outside. Freedom Fence and Deck can be your guide to professional deck lighting in Baltimore County, MD. Learn more about deck lighting options and us below.

Why Deck Lighting Is Worth It

You might consider the above-mentioned benefits to sum up why deck lighting is worth it, but there is more to it than that. Built-in deck lighting might be more expensive than outdoor string lights and lanterns, but it can add significant value and security to your home overall. Built-in deck lighting can elevate the quality of your home in a way that removable fixtures can’t.

Types of Deck Lighting

That being said, what are the different deck lighting options? 

By Purpose

You can narrow down your deck lighting choices based on what purpose you want the deck lighting to serve. There are three main purposes this lighting might have:

• Ambient lighting: Ambient lighting illuminates an entire outdoor living area to make it a more usable space at night.
• Safety lighting: Safety lighting will highlight key spots where visibility is crucial to safety.
• Highlight lighting: Some deck light fixtures might highlight specific features for ornamentation.

By Power

• Solar: Solar lights are cost-effective, removable light features that can save you a lot of money. The downside is that they may not be as effective in cloudy weather or shady areas.
• LED: LED lights are extremely energy-saving but bright and long-lasting, making them today’s premier choice for outdoor lighting.
• Hard-wired: Traditional deck lighting uses lights that are hard-wired into the home’s electrical system, like the other light fixtures.

By Style

• Recessed: Recessed deck lighting is usually inserted around the deck’s perimeter. 
• Under-rail: Under-rail strip lighting creates a glow along the deck’s perimeter that looks both modern and magical. It is atmospheric and stylish.
• Post cap: Post cap lights sit on top of deck railing posts, lighting the perimeter and the general space effectively.
• Stair: Deck stair lights can be recessed into the deck stairs’ risers, rail posts, or stringer. They are highly useful for creating security and safety at night in dark yards.
• Rail mount: Rail mount deck lighting is recessed lighting that fits into deck rail posts.
