Extend Your Evenings Outside

A deck you can't use after dark is only doing half its job. Georgia's mild evenings — March through November — are prime outdoor time, and the right lighting turns a deck that empties at dusk into the center of every gathering.

Most deck lighting runs on low-voltage (12V) LED systems: safe, energy-efficient, 50,000+ hour fixture life, and no electrician or permit needed for the install. All wiring runs hidden through railing posts and under deck boards — no visible cables or junction boxes.

We combine post cap lights, stair risers, under-rail strips, and string lights depending on the deck. Some projects need all four; some just need stair lights for safety. We design the plan around how you actually use the space, not a one-size-fits-all package.

  • How much does deck lighting installation cost?

    Most projects cost between $800 and $3,500 installed. A basic setup with four post cap lights and a transformer starts around $800. A full package with stair lights, under-rail LED strips, and smart controls typically runs $2,000-$3,500. We provide free estimates with exact pricing.

  • Do deck lights use a lot of electricity?

    No. We install low-voltage LED systems that run on 12-volt transformers, not your home's 120-volt circuits. A typical deck lighting setup with 10-15 LED fixtures uses about the same electricity as a single 60-watt light bulb. LED fixtures also last 50,000+ hours — that's over 10 years of nightly use — so you won't be replacing bulbs anytime soon.

  • Can you add lighting to an existing deck?

    Yes — we retrofit lighting onto existing decks all the time. We run low-voltage wiring through railing posts, under deck boards, and along the framing. Post cap lights swap right onto existing posts. Stair lights can be surface-mounted or recessed into risers. The wiring is hidden so it looks like the lights were always part of the original build.

  • What types of deck lights do you install?

    We install every type of deck lighting: LED post cap lights, stair riser lights, under-rail strip lights, recessed deck board lights, and ambient string lights. We also install transformers, timers, dimmer switches, and smart home integrations so you can control your lights from your phone or set them on an automatic schedule.

  • Do I need an electrician for deck lighting?

    For standard low-voltage LED deck lighting, no — our crew handles the entire installation including the transformer, wiring, and fixtures. If your project requires a new 120-volt outlet or dedicated circuit from your electrical panel to power the transformer, we coordinate with a licensed electrician to handle that portion. We figure all of this out during the estimate so there are no surprises.
