Is your deck lighting getting the job done? In other words, does there seem to be something missing. Maybe you could use some beautiful deck accent lighting? If so, LED strip lights are perfect for the job. Let’s explore these useful and versatile lights and discover some of their uses and benefits.
What are LED Strip Lights?
Sometimes called tape or ribbon lights, strip lights are thin and flexible strips that are illuminated. In fact, you can buy them in reels and cut off what you need. The entire light is made into one strip. They are simple to install and require no upkeep. However, it’s important to use LED strips that are rated for outdoor use because some are designed to be used indoors only.
Benefits
Strip lights are great for deck accent lighting because you can put them anywhere you want to. Installation is easy as they come with an adhesive backing, so you don’t have to drill holes or use screws for your installation. You also don’t need to install hanging hardware.
Flexibility
LED strip lights are so flexible you can put them in areas where most lights won’t work. For example, you can install them over stairwells or underneath handrails. In fact, install them anywhere you want to add more light.
Safe Installation
Your new deck accent lighting is safe to install because it runs on just 12 volts of power. This is much safer than standard house current.
More Benefits
Choose from several wattages, so you can select how much brightness you want. They do not have mercury in them, so LED strip lights are an eco-friendly choice. You don’t have to worry about excess heat because they burn cool, so they don’t present safety hazards. Also, high-quality strip lights have a 50,000-hour lifespan, and this is a cost-effective way to add light.
