Recessed deck lighting has a beautiful, subtle look, as well as providing safety and security around your deck.

Recessed deck lighting fixtures are installed directly into the surface of your deck, dock, stairs or patio, and sit flush with the surface. You’ll find a great variety of recessed deck lighting styles and designs to choose from. There are two basic types; a rectangular brick shape which replaces a patio paver or a section of the deck surface, and a puck-sized disk light, which creates a small point of light. Recessed deck light fixtures are made from tough, durable materials which are strong enough to walk on or even drive over, so there’s no risk of damage from everyday use. Recessed lighting can be powered either using mains power via a low voltage transformer, or you may also choose to use solar powered fixtures. Either way, recessed lighting systems are very easy to install, and you can generally buy them in kits which come with everything you need included.

Uses for recessed deck and patio lighting systems.

Recessed outdoor lighting has two main purposes; providing safety around the deck or patio, and making the outdoor space look really beautiful at night. Recessed lights create a very special, magical look and feel in the space, which is very different from the all over wash of light created by a mounted deck lighting fixture. Naturally, you may choose to use a combination of recessed lights together with wall mounted or stake mounted deck lights. A well placed set of lights spaced around the edges of the deck, patio, driveway or stairs adds definition to the space, while giving it a delightful ambience.

Disk lights are perfect to use as point markers around stairs, deck edges, deck railings and level changes, to provide safety around the deck at night. The brick paver lights also provide safety and security by illuminating the deck or patio surface.
