Having a deck is a great way to expand the living space for any home. While standard ground level decks are always popular, multi-level decks increase the outdoor space, even with a smaller home and backyard area.
Keeping decks safe, particularly in the area of any stairs on the deck or to and from the deck is important. Not only will this ensure safety for the family, but it will also be important to reduce any liability when guests are visiting and using the deck.
Adding LED deck stair lights is a simple way to increase visibility and to provide safe access on and off the deck. These lights are typically installed on the underside of the railing or even on the lip of the steps themselves. This creates even lighting that is enough to see the steps clearly, but not too bright to be distracting or annoying when using the deck space.
LED Solar Lighting
For larger deck areas or stairs away from the building, consider adding solar-powered LED deck stair lights. This prevents the cost of running electric power from the home, plus it offers an environmentally friendly way to keep your entire deck safe.
The light color of the LED solar lights is a slightly blue tint, which provides excellent visibility and true colors. While it will be important to position the solar panel in an area with significant hours of sunlight per day, this is rarely a concern as it does not need to be positioned immediately adjacent to the stairs.
Coordinating Lighting
It is possible to match the color and the lights on the deck with the LED deck stair lights. This gives a very completed look to the deck and provides a clear boundary around the stairs and deck area, perfect for entertaining or just enjoying a beautiful evening.
