Nuvi Large Deck Sconce - Titanium

Common types include post‑cap lights, step/tread lights, under‑rail strips, and recessed deck dots. Use a mix to mark edges, steps, and seating areas.

Low voltage is popular for safety and flexibility; line voltage suits larger installs with long runs and controls. Match to site power and code.

Start with 3–5 ft between step lights and 6–8 ft between post lights, then adjust after dark to avoid hot spots or dark gaps.

Choose wet‑location fixtures with appropriate IP rating and corrosion‑resistant materials (marine‑grade coatings, stainless fasteners) for coastal sites.

Use low‑voltage transformers with photocells or astronomical timers; add smart plugs/controllers for scenes and schedules. Verify driver compatibility.

Aim lights downward with louvers or diffusers. Recess tread lights into risers and hide tape light in channels to shield the source.

Warm 2700–3000K feels inviting; 3500–4000K adds visibility for cooking and tasks. Keep color consistent across the deck for a cohesive look.

Drill clean holes, use grommets/bushings, and seal penetrations. Keep conductors clear of fasteners and follow manufacturer wiring diagrams.

Clean lenses, check gaskets and connections seasonally, and re‑seal any penetrations. Replace failed lamps promptly to maintain uniformity.

Use shielded optics, aim downward, and choose lower lumen outputs at perimeters. Avoid uplights near bedroom windows to respect neighbors.
