If you have a beautiful deck in your backyard and have been thinking of adding exterior lighting to it so you can entertain your guests and and enjoy it at night as well, you don’t have to spend allot of money. Not only can deck lighting be inexpensive, it’s easy to install depending on what type of lighting you buy. A good option is to use solar deck lighting because you don’t need to worry about wiring power to each light and planning where all the electrical cables will be laid out.

Here’s a few outdoor deck lighting ideas that you can use to add lighting to your deck:

• Use post lights (lights that sit atop the posts of your fencing on the edge of your deck) to light up the general area of the edge of your deck. These are available in a few different colors besides the standard white and you should consider mixing them up to make different effects. If you have allot of fencing you shouldn’t put one on each post as that would be overkill.
• Use step lights to light up your stairs leading to and from your deck. These are led low voltage lights that cast a  dim light so your guests can see where they are going, not only making your deck look better but also helping prevent stumbles and falls.
• String patio lights on the railings of your deck to create a fence high line of light at night. Another good idea is to wrap string lights around a few posts to create a candy cane effect. If you combine both together you can make a wall of light on your deck and if you use different colors you can create numerous effects.

I hope these ideas give you a good start to making your deck a beautiful place for your guests and family at night.
