There are a number of ways to light your deck at night. The first would be simply to plug your transformer into your outlet. If you’re looking for a more hands-free approach – use the photocell timer provided with your transformer. This photocell timer has multiple options including setting your lights to illuminate from dusk until dawn, or to be on for two, four, or up to 10 hours. Another way to light your deck at night would be to use our WiFi Controller. The new deck light WiFi Controller allows you to control from anywhere from your smart phone.

Deck light height will depend on which light you are installing and your height preference. We do not have set requirements for light placement.

The cost of adding Trex deck lights varies depending upon which lights are being installed or how many. Lights start around $57.99 each. Wiring, splitters, transformers and timers will add to the cost.
