Deck Lighting
Thoughtfully designed lighting extends the use of your deck beyond daylight hours while enhancing safety, atmosphere, and architectural detail. We install TimberTech® low-voltage deck lighting, designed to integrate seamlessly into deck surfaces, stairs, and railings for a clean, cohesive look.
Lighting is planned as part of the overall deck design to ensure fixtures feel intentional and balanced—not added as an afterthought.
Installation & Power
All wiring is fully concealed within the deck, stair, and railing structure for a clean, finished appearance
Fixtures are installed flush and aligned with surrounding deck details
Lighting layouts are planned to enhance visibility while minimizing glare
All components are installed according to TimberTech installation guidelines to ensure long-term performance and reliability
Power & Transformers
All lighting operates on low-voltage systems
Unless a homeowner already has a compatible existing transformer from a previous deck lighting system, a transformer is included with every lighting package
Homeowners may choose between:
Standard transformer: Automatically turns lights on at dusk with a built-in timer controlling run time
Dimmable transformer with remote: Automatic dusk activation, built-in timer, adjustable brightness, and remote control
Both transformer options:
Plug into a standard exterior 3-prong outlet
Are rated for outdoor use
Are installed in discreet, accessible locations
Lighting Options

Lighting & Design Tiers
Lighting can be added to any deck, and premium-tier projects often include a coordinated lighting package designed to complement the decking, stairs, and railings. These packages serve as a starting point, but homeowners can adjust fixtures, placement, and transformer options to suit their preferences, budget, or how they plan to use the space.
