Patio & Deck Lighting
Extend Your Outdoor Living into the Evening Hours
Your patio or deck represents some of your home’s most valuable living space—an outdoor extension where family dinners become memorable gatherings and summer evenings stretch long and lazy. But when sunset arrives, this treasured space often becomes unusable, its potential limited to daylight hours.
Imagine your outdoor living area transformed into an enchanting evening destination. Bistro lights create a magical canopy overhead. Soft illumination makes dining comfortable without harsh glare. Step lighting ensures safe navigation. Your patio or deck becomes the place everyone wants to be, day or night.

Frequently Asked Questions
Covered patios offer more overhead mounting options including recessed fixtures and pendants. Open decks rely more on railing lights, post caps, step lights, and surrounding landscape lighting. We design for your specific structure.
Yes. Low-voltage systems require only small-gauge wiring that runs through existing structures with minimal impact. Surface-mounted and landscape-based solutions need no structural modifications.
LED lights attract significantly fewer insects than traditional bulbs. Warmer color temperatures (2700K-3000K) reduce attraction further. Strategic placement also minimizes the issue.
All fixtures we install are rated for appropriate exposure levels—wet-rated for direct exposure or damp-rated under covered areas. They withstand Long Island’s weather conditions reliably.
Projects typically range from $1,500 to $6,000 depending on size and complexity. A simple deck with step lights and post caps might cost $1,500-$2,500. Larger patios with string lights and integrated lighting could reach $4,000-$6,000.
