Outdoor deck lights are crucial if you’re wanting to light up your garden space and impress your guests. You’ll find an outdoor deck area in most gardens of contemporary homes, especially since many homeowners have realised just how important it is to care for your outdoor space as you do inside.
Lighting is an important feature to consider in your outdoor space - there’s no point in having a decking area when you aren’t able to enjoy it in the evenings. More often than not, most people take advantage of their garden space at night - of course, we all enjoy socialising during the day, but with parties, barbecues and events usually taking place in the evening, decking makes the perfect nighttime setting.
If you’ve recently had a decking installed in your garden and need lighting ideas, follow along to find out more information about our LED products and how you can use them to light up your outdoor space.
Why is Deck Lighting Important?
Deck lighting is important because it helps illuminate your garden and provide safety. Decking is an extension of your home, acting as a designated space for you to wind down and relax with family and friends.
We take so much care lighting up the interior of our home, so why not do the same for our gardens? Deckings are great because they can be styled and lit up how you want them to.
There’s no doubt that choosing outdoor furniture for your decking space can be the most fun and enjoyable part of decorating your garden, but without efficient lighting, you won’t be able to see what you’ve chosen properly.
No nighttime gathering is complete without great lighting. Not only is deck lighting important because it lights up our space and amplifies our exterior, but lighting provides a sense of security and safety.
Safety is key when you’re outside, especially when there are steps, walls and foliage in the surrounding area. It’s crucial to have sufficient deck lighting, more so due to the fact it’s an area for socialising where alcohol could be involved - the last thing you want is to trip on your deck and injure yourself.
Lighting in general helps create a welcoming feeling and relaxed atmosphere, helping guests feel comfortable in your home and garden.
Lighting Ideas
Lighting can be the last thing on your mind when it comes to decorating your decking. Sometimes, we get so overwhelmed with what furniture we’re going to choose and how we’re going to accessorise that we forget about the most important factor - lights.
With an array of deck lighting to choose from, we’ve had the specialists at LED Supplier rank their top choices of lights. Read on to find out more.
Wall Lights
LED wall lights make a great lighting choice, not only do they illuminate your garden excellently, but they also look stylish and sleek. By adding wall lights to your decking, you’ll be able to see clearly at all times.
With many burglars being alarmed by bright wall lights, having this style of lighting integrated into your outdoor space can help lower the chance of theft or crime.
Thanks to their easy installation, LED wall lights are simple to fixate. If you have basic knowledge and experience with connecting wires, then you’ll find the installation process straightforward.
Flood Lights
Flood lights are ideal for large decking spaces. If your decking area is bigger than usual, flood lights are the best lighting solution to go for.
Designed to illuminate and brighten a big, spacious area, flood lights have an intense beam compared to other outdoor lighting solutions. Similar to wall lights, flood lights give a sense of security and safety thanks to their ability to cover vast areas.
If you like to throw a party and need ideal lighting in your backyard, flood lights are what you should go for. Just one flood light can help open up your space, giving the illusion that your deck area is bigger than it actually is.
Floodlights are the perfect ground light - they can be placed around your deck area to enhance trees and foliage in your garden, creating a focal point in your space and providing the perfect conversation starter.
Spike Lights
Often found in plant pots on deck areas, spike lights can be a great addition to your space. Although they don’t provide the best source of light compared to other outdoor lighting options, they can still light up your space efficiently.
For some people, having harsh lighting can be overwhelming and go against the kind of style they’re going for in their decking area. Spike lights still allow you to see clearly, whilst offering a more subtle, cosy approach.
Made with LED light bulbs, spike lights can last for an extensive period of time, making them both durable and long-lasting. If you have a path to your deck area, we suggest using spike lights where you’d walk for extra illumination.
Along with a variety of outdoor lighting that’s suitable for deck areas, we have a wide collection of decking lights. Decking lights are small outdoor lights that can be easily installed in decking boards and act as a marker to indicate paths, steps and walkways.
