What We Install
Under‑Rail & Railing Accent Lights
Hidden or low‑profile fixtures that wash light down onto the deck surface and seating without glare.
Post‑Cap & Side‑Mount Lights
Defined pools of light around rail posts and corners for visibility and style.
Step & Riser Lights
Recessed or surface‑mount options to mark stair treads and landings.
Recessed Deck & Paver Lights
Flush fixtures that outline edges, transitions, and pathways on wood, composite, or paver surfaces.
Hardscape & Seat‑Wall Lights
Low‑profile fixtures under caps for patios, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, and fire‑pit seating.
Moonlighting for Patios
Tree‑mounted downlights create a natural, dappled effect that feels like moonlight across your space.
Smarter Control
With our smart transformer and mobile app, your deck and patio lights are easy to control and automate. Save everyday scenes (e.g., Dinner on the Deck), set sunrise/sunset schedules, and dim by zone (seating, steps, landscape). Prefer classic white most nights? Choose adjustable‑white for elegant everyday lighting—and switch to full color any time with compatible fixtures for holidays and game days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will deck lights create glare while we’re seated?
We select optics, output, and mounting heights to keep light below eye level and out of sightlines.
Can I dim different areas separately?
Yes. We group zones (seating, steps, perimeter) so you can dim or schedule each independently in the app.
Are the fixtures weatherproof?
Yes—our fixtures and connections are designed for outdoor use in year‑round conditions.
Can you add lighting to an existing deck or patio?
Usually yes. We evaluate structure and access, then propose surface‑mount or recessed options that fit.
What about composite decking?
We have solutions for composite and wood. We drill/route carefully and seal penetrations for a clean finish.
How much does it cost?
It depends on fixture count, finishes, and whether you choose adjustable‑white or color‑capable options. We’ll tailor a design to your goals and budget.
