Outdoor Deck Lighting & Mission Style Outdoor Lighting
How To Transform Your Life
And Your Yard
Outdoor deck lighting
brightens every corner
of an outdoor space. Especially mission style outdoor lighting.
And this new generation
of outdoor deck fixtures
helps create an inviting space where your outdoor decorative lighting
defines edges and elevations, while highlighting pathways and
stairways.
The idea is not to flood the night with
low voltage outdoor lighting to simulate sunlight, but rather
to create an inviting after-dark atmosphere by blending lighting,
deck posts, railings, stairs, and raisers with other elements
in the landscape.
The
primary purpose of patio ideas like outdoor deck lighting is
aesthetic but it also takes care of your safety, task, and security
lighting needs. Move about injury-free
with safety lighting. You'll see when the burgers are done with task
lighting. And the inky blackness is cast away with security
lighting.
Outdoor lighting fixtures are as much about
blending custom details as it is about incorporating lighting
schemes that serve multiple purposes. And here's help from
today's leading outdoor lighting manufactures, including product
options for Kichler outdoor lighting.

Deck Lighting
Line voltage
outdoor deck lighting:
Using line voltage
requires a licensed electrician, a permit, an approved
electrical box, plus the cables need to be enclosed and buried
in a proper conduit, for example a schedule-80 PVC pipe.
Solar powered outdoor deck
lighting:
Use outdoor solar lighting
fixtures and you won't need electricity, wires, timers,
or switches.
But they do require at least 6 hours of
constant exposure to sunlight each day.
Because they
rely on the sun, deck applications are usually limited to
post cap fixtures. But recessed solar lights are
available.
Post cap
lights:
Post cap lights are high-profile.
These fixtures have flanges that typically fit over 4x4 or 6x6
posts. Custom sizes are available.
To keep all the
caps looking the same, use "dummy" post caps.
They
come in different colors and materials to match the
housing on the post cap lights.
Side mount
lights:
Experts recommend that side mount lights
be installed 32 to 34 inches from the deck surface.
