Lighting
What
Is It?
In architecture, a deck is a constructed flat surface capable
of supporting weight, similar to a floor but typically constructed
outdoors and usually (though not always) connected to a building.
The term is a generalization of decks as found on ships. The deck

Here
Are All Ways To Light Up a Deck
(1) Coach lanterns: Using post lanterns on deck posts and coach
lanterns on house walls that are near deck areas can add a decorative
sparkle to your deck lighting.
(2)
Landscape down lights: Mounting landscape down lights every few
feet along the deck railing or the deck itself can provide sturdy
low-level light.
(3)
Photocells: Turn on lights automatically from dusk to dawn with
photocells. Pick a photocell with maximum wattage capacity greater
than the total wattage of the lights you want to control. Photocells
waste energy by keeping lights on all night every night.
(4)
Sensor floodlights: For added security, a sensor-controlled floodlight
will light your deck whenever anyone comes within the sensor’s
range. Sensors save energy by keeping lights off unless they are
needed.
(5)
Sensors: You can use sensors mounted separately from lights to
control any of your deck lighting. A good suggestion is a Hi/lo
sensor. It gives you dusk to dawn lighting at 20% or the normal
fixture brightness. When the sensor detects movement, lights come
to full brightness.
(6)
Incandescent floodlights: Deck Lighting can be accomplished very
effectively with floodlights mounted on the house, nearby trees
or the deck posts.
And
many more, deck lights will enhance the beauty to a great level.
