Deck Lighting
Installation
Extend your deck's usability into the evening hours with professionally installed LED lighting. We install post cap lights, recessed stair lights, and complete low-voltage systems that add safety, ambiance, and value to your outdoor space.
Professional Deck Lighting That Lasts
A well-lit deck serves three purposes: safety, ambiance, and extended use. Our LED lighting systems illuminate stairs and walkways to prevent trips and falls, create warm atmosphere for evening gatherings, and let you use your deck well after sunset.
We install only commercial-grade LED fixtures rated for Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles. Each fixture carries a minimum 50,000-hour lifespan—that's over 20 years of nightly use. Our low-voltage systems (12V) are safe to install, easy to maintain, and cost pennies per month to operate.
- LED fixtures with 50,000+ hour rated lifespan
- Low-voltage 12V systems (safe and efficient)
- Weather-sealed for Minnesota winters
- Dimmable options and timer controls available
- Retrofit installation on existing decks
Types of Deck Lighting We Install
Choose from several lighting styles to match your deck design and functional needs. Most installations combine two or more types for complete coverage.
Post Cap Lights
Mount directly on top of 4x4 or 6x6 railing posts. Available in solar-powered or low-voltage wired versions. Provide ambient downlighting across the deck surface.
Stair Riser Lights
Recessed into the vertical face of each stair step. Critical for safety on elevated decks. Cast light downward onto the next tread without glare.
Deck Surface Lights
Flush-mounted into the deck boards themselves. Mark pathways, highlight level changes, and outline the deck perimeter. Available in multiple color temperatures.
Under-Rail Lighting
LED strips mounted beneath the top rail. Creates continuous ambient light along the railing perimeter. Wiring hidden inside the rail channel.
Solar Post Caps
Self-contained units with built-in solar panels. No wiring required—install in minutes. Best for accent lighting; charge during day, illuminate at night.
Accent & Specialty Lights
Spotlights for focal points, under-bench lighting, and specialty fixtures for spiral stairs or unique features. Custom placement based on your deck's design.

Benefits of Deck Lighting

Illuminated stairs and pathways prevent trips, falls, and missteps—especially important for elevated decks and multi-level designs.

Property Value
Outdoor lighting is a sought-after feature for home buyers. Quality installations add measurable value at resale.
