Deck lighting as soft as the curves of the deck.
While novices tend to use a single outdoor post light to cover as much area as possible, those experienced in outdoor lighting design know better. High wattage and high angles can be uncomfortable to the eye and can "flatten" the viewer’s perception of steps, uneven surfaces and obstacles. By placing several low-voltage lights around the deck–below eye level and directed downward–depth perception is enhanced, the mood is more romantic, and glare is simply not a problem. Notice how the level changes are clearly visible and the deck’s sumptuous curves are highlighted. The hot-tub area is lit below the knee for a heightened sense of privacy when modest soakers exit the spa area.
Extend your enjoyment of your deck long into the evening.
Our free custom design promises your deck lighting will beckon you to linger
The most common sight in deck lighting is an outdoor post light or big ol’ security light mounted high above the deck. Ouch! Nothing could be more aesthetically unappealing, uncomfortable for your eyes or detracting to your depth perception. Plus, those fixtures can be expensive and energy intensive.
Fine outdoor lighting design calls for a far more subtle approach–one that’s not only extraordinarily attractive but can save you energy costs year after year. Outdoor Lighting Perspectives generally positions deck lighting and accompanying outdoor path lighting beneath eye level. This directs light where it’s needed most and cuts down on glare. Our outdoor step lights, outdoor path lighting and in-deck lighting are unobtrusive yet shed plenty of light–without harsh wattages or worries of eye strain. And our convenient Lighting Automation Controls let you "set it and forget it."
