It is important not to overlook the importance of good deck lighting when planning or upgrading your deck, porch or balcony.
Most homes have a standard backdoor porch light that floods the area in an unforgiving glare...hardly the best way to create ambiance when entertaining. Lighting should illuminate the areas around you, but not blind you.
Badly positioned lights can blind visitors when standing or seated and inadequate lighting can cast shadows over tricky areas such as steps or walkways. However, subtly placed deck lights always show case your deck to its best advantage at night.
Under surface lighting is the most suitable for decking in that it will not cause glare and will create a gentle and atmospheric ambience. At the same time, it conceals the strength of the lighting and does the job effectively.
