Deck Lighting = Safety Lighting


Did you ever wonder why your house is so dark on the steps or if your friends or family were going to make it down the steps without falling? Well, there is an excellent solution. Landscape Lighting called Deck Lighting is the answer! Deck Lighting is simply the process of placing small light fixtures (approximately the size of your fist) at the top of the hand rails along the deck where needed. There are many types and styles of deck lights. Carolina Landscape Lighting prefers deck lights mounted waist high as opposed to fixtures mounted in the risers of the steps. The reason is very simple. You get a lot more light output on the steps with fewer fixtures using this technique. Plus, this options is less expensive because you need fewer fixtures.


You might ask where does the wire go to power the fixtures. Carolina Landscape Lighting takes tremendous pride in hiding the wire so it is virtually indivisible so that the process looks 100% integrated to the structure.

With the elevation of the homes around Charleston and amount of water there are plenty of Steps, Decks and Docks that could use extra safety lighting. Deck Lighting is often times the perfect solution to make your steps much safer.

As you can see from the photos Deck Lighting also is quite BEAUTIFUL!
