Lume and Wick deck and step lights eliminate nighttime fall hazards through recessed fixtures integrating flush with walking surfaces and vertical risers casting downward pools marking elevation changes clearly without protruding trip obstacles. Stair lighting addresses unique safety challenges requiring specialized solutions.
Riser lights mount vertically on step fronts illuminating tread edges below. Recessed models install flush avoiding protrusions catching feet. Surface-mount versions attach using weatherproof screws. Post cap lights crown deck railing posts marking perimeter boundaries while adding decorative ambiance.
Under-rail lighting hides beneath handrails creating glowing outlines without visible fixtures. Materials withstand foot traffic and weather exposure. Die-cast aluminum housings resist impacts better than plastic alternatives cracking under pressure. Stainless steel trim rings won’t corrode in coastal environments.
Tempered glass or polycarbonate lenses survive accidental strikes. Installation methods vary by deck construction. Retrofit lights fit existing structures using hole saws cutting openings. New construction integrates lights during building using blocking between joists supporting fixtures. Low-voltage systems connect to landscape lighting transformers.
Solar versions eliminate wiring using integrated photovoltaic panels. LED technology dominates providing 50,000-hour lifespans eliminating bulb replacement hassles. Warm white temperatures create inviting evening deck atmospheres. Spacing recommendations call for lights on every step or every other step depending on brightness.
Post caps every 6-8 feet define deck perimeters. Deck and step light pricing reflects installation type: $18.99 for solar post caps, $28.99 for low-voltage riser lights, $38.99 for recessed deck fixtures, $54.99 for premium stainless steel models.
