Deck lights and deck lighting will enhance your timber deck and will invite you to enjoy your timber decking long after the sun has gone down.
Your friends and family will simply love your new outdoor entertaining area, when you turn your LED deck lights on.
There are three groups of decking lights, being:
- Deck Lights – to be installed by an electrician
- LED Deck Lights – can be installed by an electrician
- Solar Deck Lights – can be installed by an electrician
Deck Lights
For full voltage deck lights, the cabling for the deck lights is normally laid beside the timber joists and timber bearers after the deck frame has been completed and prior to the decking being fixed down. Then once the decking has been fixed down, Deckbuilders Melbourne normally cut a hole in the decking, where the deck light is to be located, which is normally either square or round. Finally the deck lights are placed into the decking, so that they sit flush and then connected.
We use and recommend stainless steel deck lights. Please note that all full voltage deck lighting must be installed by a qualified electrician.
LED Deck Lights and Solar Deck Lights
We use and recommend stainless steel deck lights. As both LED deck lights and solar deck lights are low voltage.

- use safety decking lights for any stairs or around the balustrade and handrails
