Deck Lighting
Feeney DesignRail Lighting Kits snap in fast and brighten the whole deck.
Before the deck soffit was installed, I ran low voltage leads from two transformers under the deck into the hollow DesignRail posts. After the top rail was installed, Ryan, Nick, and Mr. Haynes spent a couple mornings plugging the DesignRail LED lighting strips together and feeding them through the subrail.

The distances between the posts and pickets didn’t precisely match the LED strips, but the guys did their best to use short and long lengths so the lights portions centered as best as possible.

I energized the transformers while they installed the lights so they could make sure the lights illuminated before moving on to the next strip. As each strip was plugged into the previous, they removed the release-sheet and bonded the self-adhesive backing to the subrail.

As each section of lights was installed, the guys snapped the translucent covers into the subrail channel.

That looks terrific!! Do those strips come in variable brightness? Perhaps a rheostat to raise and lower the brightness?
The Feeney DesignRail LED lights can be dimmed when dimmable 24 volt drivers are used or in-line LED remote controllers are installed.
It is very nice to sit outside and enjoy the night air, but it is even nicer to be able to see when it gets dark on your deck.
Last month I had installed deck lighting by hiring an electricians in Downingtown PA (https://www.dndenergy.com/) who had assisted me in updating deck lighting at my home. After installation of deck lighting it had enchased my home beautiful.
We are in the Kansas City KS area and we have had great service using https://www.lenexalandscapelighting.com/
