🔧 DIY Tips
Plan for power - Low-voltage systems need a transformer plugged into mains power. Plan transformer location near an outdoor socket or protected area.
Cable routing - Route cables under deck boards or along joists where possible. Exposed cables should be properly clipped and protected from damage.
Light spacing - For even deck lighting, space recessed lights 1-1.5m apart. For step lighting, one light per step creates clear visibility.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
Most deck lighting runs on 12V transformers with built-in timers and dimming controls. We'll show you how to set timers and adjust brightness during installation. LED lights are very energy-efficient - a typical deck lighting system costs pennies per evening to run.
