Deck Lights & Inground Lights

Transform Your Outdoor Entertaining Area

Great lighting turns your outdoor decking from a place you retreat to at dusk into one you want to linger in long after the BBQ has flamed out. Adding decking lights to stairs and edges significantly improves visibility and safety underfoot while highlighting the timber's gorgeous aesthetic. Browse our range of garden lighting to build a complete outdoor lighting plan around your deck.

Choosing the Best Decking Lights for Safety and Style

You can choose from flush-mounted LED deck lights with a sleek finish to easy-to-install solar deck lights that require no wiring. Flush recessed options are fantastic for timber and composite decks where you’re after an in-ground look. In contrast, solar options work wonderfully to highlight garden edges, pools or pathways where running power is not practical. All exterior lights in our range are designed to withstand harsh Australian outdoor conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best spacing for recessed decking lights?

For a balanced, even glow along a deck perimeter, spacing decking lights approximately 1 to 1.5 metres apart is a reliable starting point for most board widths. For stair applications, a good rule of thumb is a light on every second or third riser to provide clear visibility without overcrowding.

Are solar deck lights bright enough for security?

Generally speaking, solar deck lights provide ambient and accent lighting, creating atmosphere and marking edges without requiring any hardwiring. For areas where you need consistent brightness for functional or security purposes, hard-wired LED deck lights are the more reliable choice, as they are not affected by overcast days or changes in sunlight.

Do I need a licensed electrician to install deck lighting?  

Many low-voltage LED deck lights have straightforward DIY installation. However, any 240V hardwired lighting or work involving your home's main electrical circuits must be installed by a licensed electrician to comply with Australian standards.
