At TBC Decks, we believe your deck shouldn’t disappear when the sun goes down—it should shine. Adding lighting to your deck isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s also about safety, usability, and creating a cozy, inviting atmosphere for evening entertaining.
Whether you're sipping wine under the stars or just want to keep the kids safe on the stairs after dark, lighting brings your deck to life. Here are a few popular options to consider:
1. Integrated Deck Lighting: A Seamless Look
If you're looking for a polished, professional look, integrated lighting is the way to go. These lights are built directly into the deck structure—along stairs, under railings, or even flush into the deck surface itself.
Trex® Lighting
If you’ve chosen Trex decking or railing, Trex Lighting is a natural fit. Designed to work seamlessly with the Trex system, these low-voltage LED lights are energy-efficient and built to withstand the elements. Popular options include:
Riser lights for stair safety
Post cap lights to add a subtle glow
Under-rail lights for ambiance
Trex's plug-and-play design makes installation straightforward, and it’s all backed by the Trex warranty.
2. MagenaStar® LED Lighting
For customers who choose Westbury aluminum railings—a popular pick for their clean, modern look—MagenaStar LED Lighting is a fantastic lighting solution. These lights are specifically designed to integrate with Westbury systems, offering:
Post cap and side mount options
Low-voltage efficiency
Durability and weather resistance
MagenaStar adds sophistication and safety without sacrificing style. It’s a great match if you’re looking to elevate your deck with modern lighting that blends right in.
3. Solar Post Cap Lights: Budget-Friendly & Easy
If you're looking for a more affordable, easy-to-install solution, solar post cap lights are worth considering. These lights charge throughout the day and automatically glow at night—no wiring required.
Solar lights are a great add-on for wood decks or budget-friendly projects where running low-voltage wiring might not be practical. While they won’t be as bright or consistent as wired options, they’re perfect for casual ambiance and soft illumination.
Why Add Lighting to Your Deck?
Safety: Illuminates steps and edges to prevent trips and falls.
Ambiance: Creates a warm, welcoming feel for evening entertaining.
Value: Boosts curb appeal and increases usable outdoor time.
