Easy to install deck lights but it helps to create an inviting atmosphere for evening enjoyment in your garden. First, you need to check whether you already have an outdoor 13 amp plug sockets within 5 meters of your depth. If you don't, then you'll need to have one fixed by a qualified electrician if you're going to be adding light to a fascia board, as we're doing here then remove the board now. This will allow you to avoid any bolts and noggins when choosing where to position.

The light fittings or, if you're, adding the lights to the top of the deck, then make sure that they're positioned over the center of a deck board and not directly over any joist. May your light fittings out into the position you'd like them to be in keeping in mind that the lights can't be placed more than 1.2 meters apart and that they should not be plugged in at this stage. Once you're happy with the position of the lights, then mark the would reattach the fascia and drill the mounting holes using a 24-millimeter drill bit then remove the deck boards and use the 24-millimeter drill bit to create holes in the joist or noggins feed.

The cables of each light through the mounting holes before placing the light inspiration and connecting them we're going to extend our life, but if you aren't then using the supplies blanking plugs to cover the last pocket. Now extend your lights repeat the same process of choosing where to position the light marking out drilling holes and connecting them once all the lights are in place. Add the blanking plugs to the final socket then connect the driver, cable in Sasaki closest to the plug position. The mains, cable, and driver out of sight within the decking and switch on to test all the lights are working securely.
