A deck can be a priceless addition to your home, and it can be aesthetically enhanced with solar powered deck lights. Many people tend to minimize the lighting decoration for their decks because it can be rather costly. However, if you revert to nature, you will be surprised to discover how much cost can be eliminated when illuminating your deck. There are various styles to choose from as well, so why don’t we window shop for a while to see if any of them below are impressive enough for your deck.
1. Copper topped post caps
This design is super easy to install and it’s full of creativity. You only need to attach it to the top of a lamp post measuring 4×4. Just use some brad nails or if you are lousy with them, simply stick it with wood glue. In no time, you will get an authentic design installed at your deck, and with a bit of retouch, it will look modern and stylish. The one made of Tiffany glass is adorable, or you can go for mission style if you want.
2. Lantern style solar powered deck lights
This design is perfect to install in your planter along the edge of your deck. You can also attach a series of lights along the railings to create romantic, soft-looking illumination.
3. Stair lighting
This design is best installed at the lower interior areas of your deck handrail. You can also place it on your stair riser. The location of your lights will affect the intensity of illumination. If only one portion of your railing receives sunlight during the day, make sure you place the solar element to the spot that receives the most sunlight.
4. LEDs
These are modern solar powered deck lights and they are perfect to create warm and glowing illumination which provides a sense of welcome and joyfulness.
