Adding extra lighting can completely transform any backyard as the night sets in. One of the easiest ways to add extra lighting to your property is by adding deck lights. Deck lighting helps brighten your space, which adds extra security and makes it possible to continue outdoor fun even as the sun sets. Lights also increase safety when walking down deck stairs at night. Check out our 5 best deck lighting ideas list to help get you inspired! Looking for more information?

Looking For The Perfect Deck For Your Yard?
Top 5 Best Deck Lighting Ideas
Do you feel like your yard lacks character…and light? This best deck light lighting ideas list will help you decide what styles you like and would work for your home and yard. Backyard lighting is also great when you have a pool or a gazebo and hope to get the most out of warm summer evenings. When it comes to outdoor design, there is no set standard – many different designs and styles could work with your deck! As you check out the list below, keep in mind your own personal preference, your budget, and your deck’s style to help determine what type of lighting may be best for you.
#1 – Rail Lighting
This unique, built-in design provides the perfect amount of light for your patio or deck. Since the lights are underneath the deck rails, it provides a softer light for you and your guests. As long as the lights surround all of the deck rails, each spot on the deck will be evenly lit, ensuring every spot feels warm and cozy!
#2 – String Of Lights
If simple lighting is your goal, try adding a string of lights to your deck! This works well with smaller decks or apartment patios, as a string of lights is typically shorter in length. However, if you absolutely love this design, it can work on any size deck! With a super simple installation and a great finished look, this design easily made our list.
#3 – Built-In Rustic Lights
These awesome wood and iron deck rails look complete with the small, circular lights added in. A mix of rustic and modern, these simple lights will add a good amount of lighting in the evening and will remain barely noticeable during the day.
#4 – Modern Built-In Lighting
An ultra-modern deck requires ultra-modern lighting to go along with it. This multi-layered deck adds lighting to the steps as well as the long strip of deck along the side of the home. Though the lights are different shapes, they come together perfectly.
#5 – Lighting Combination
You don’t need an ultra-modern deck to pull off the multi-light look. This deck, which is a bit more traditional than #4, also uses multiple types of lighting to brighten up the space. The longer section includes small, round lights, the steps have oval lights, and the rails include larger lighting fixtures. All these come together to create the perfectly lit deck!
