Your Guide to Deck Lighting

Deck lighting refers to the installation of specialized lighting fixtures and systems on or around a deck or outdoor patio area. The primary purpose of deck lighting is to enhance the aesthetics, safety, and functionality of these outdoor spaces, particularly during the evening hours or in low-light conditions.

Different Types of Deck Lighting

Our Raleigh deck lighting installation company offers a variety of deck lighting options to enhance the beauty and functionality of outdoor spaces.

Step and Stair Lighting

Safety is paramount, especially on decks with stairs. Recessed step lights or surface-mounted stair lights can be integrated into the steps to ensure safe navigation in low-light conditions.

Rail or Baluster Lights

These lights are typically mounted on the handrails or balusters of your deck. They add a decorative touch and provide subtle lighting, enhancing both safety and aesthetics.

Under-Deck Lighting

Illuminate the area beneath your deck with under-deck lighting. This not only creates a visually striking effect but also allows you to use the space below for additional purposes, such as outdoor seating or storage.

Deck Recessed Lighting

Recessed lighting fixtures can be installed in the deck’s surface to provide functional and discreet illumination. These lights are particularly useful for larger deck areas where even lighting is needed.

Bistro Lighting

Bistro lights, also referred to as string lights, are a new and popular lighting option for illuminating decks and patios.

Pathway Lighting

Extend your deck’s illumination to the surrounding pathways and garden areas. Path lighting installation can guide guests safely to and from your deck while adding a touch of elegance to your landscape.

Spotlights and Uplighting

Use spotlights to highlight key features of your deck, such as sculptures, trees, or architectural elements. Uplighting can create a dramatic effect by directing light upward toward objects or foliage.

Color-Changing LED Lighting

For a dynamic and customizable lighting experience, consider color-changing LED lights. These fixtures allow you to adjust the color and intensity of the lighting to suit different moods and occasions.

Deck Lighting Installation for Homes

Deck lighting for homes refers to the installation of lighting fixtures and systems on or around residential decks, patios, and outdoor living spaces. This type of lighting is designed to enhance the aesthetics, functionality, and safety of outdoor areas attached to a house, particularly during the evening and nighttime hours.

Deck Lighting Installation for Businesses

Commercial deck lighting in Raleigh refers to the installation of lighting fixtures and systems in outdoor deck and patio areas of commercial properties, such as restaurants, hotels, event venues, offices, and retail establishments in Raleigh, North Carolina.

We have been using Carolina Outdoor Lighting Professionals for years now...and Mike is the best, making our yard look beautiful! Both my husband and I enjoy gardening and being outside...and wanted to enhance the beauty of our yard with warm illumination. Over the years, as we have continued evolving our yard to fit where we are in our lives, Carolina Outdoor Lighting Professionals continue to meet our needs, advising further enhancements to our original lighting.

They are creative, honest, professional experts who never fail to make us happy. We would not trust anyone else with our lighting needs!

Taylor C.

We had a great experience with Carolina Outdoor Lighting. We had some bistro lights added to our deck and some decorative and functional lights added to the stairs on the deck and down the driveway. They were very communicative throughout the process and when there was a weird issue with the bistro lights post-install (super rare) they didn't stop until it was perfect.

Dimitry S.

Carolina Outdoor Lighting was awesome to work with! They gave great advice on what would look best and helped with the perfect placement of the lights. They stayed within my budget but still made my house look amazing. The whole process was easy, and the results are even better than I expected. Highly recommend!

Yisenia R.

I absolutely love my new bistro lights! Carolina Outdoor Lighting did an outstanding and very professional job. The team arrived on time, worked efficiently, and the final result transformed my space. I couldn’t be happier — highly recommend this company!

Michael C.

We recently hired Carolina Outdoor Lighting to install lighting around our home. They are truly professional and experts at what they do. The complimentary demo worked great to help us decide what we wanted. Their installation team did an outstanding job. Highly recommend them!

Brice E.

These guys are the best... period. I've used them now 3x in 10 years and trust their quality work and advice. You certainly feel safer driving up to a well lit house and the aesthetics are great too. Any problems and they are there within a short time to service and repair or upgrade. My best advice is go with the full compliment of lights the 1st time and enjoy.

JT's C.

From the first phone call to the instillation and adjustments, Carolina Outdoor Lighting has been excellent to work with. They came and did an evening demonstration at my request prior to our decision. Our home looks amazing at night, so warm and inviting. They are very professional and accomodating. I couldn't recommend them more. Use them - you won't be disappointed!

Roger W.

Carolina Outdoor Lighting has completed two installations for us, and both experiences have been excellent. Their team provided a thoughtful design that truly enhances our landscaping, and the installation was handled with professionalism and attention to detail.

What sets them apart is their outstanding after‑sale service. As our yard has evolved with new plantings and changes, they have been responsive and efficient in handling cut wires, relocations, and adjustments. The same level of care and expertise we saw during the initial installation carries through to their ongoing support.

Carolina Outdoor Lighting combines creative design, quality workmanship, and reliable follow‑up service. We are very pleased with their work and highly recommend them to anyone looking to elevate their outdoor spaces.

John D.

These guys did a great job lighting my house. They were very responsive and easy to work with throughout the process and did everything they said they would do. The nighttime demo was helpful in selecting the right setup. Austin and his crew were very professional (and careful) with the installation. They also followed up to make sure I was satisfied and made a few adjustments to dial things in. I highly recommend Carolina Outdoor Lighting.

Kim K.

We are so happy we had Carolina Outdoor Lighting Professionals install our lights! Our house went from dark and unseen at night to beautiful and elegant. We have trees in front of our house which offer awesome privacy when out on our front porch, but the trees also made our house very dark at night. Now we can see our house and are welcomed by the gorgeous glow when we arrive home at night. Neighbors and friends are already saying how beautiful our house is with the lights. The crew at Carolina Outdoor Lighting was wonderful to work with from beginning to end! Very professional and kind. Kevin explained everything at the first conversation. It was a pleasure to meet Doug during the free demo session, which was key for us to see how many lights we wanted on our front trees. Austin contacted us before coming out for the install to explain timing and expectations. The install day went seamlessly and we are so happy with the outcome! All wiring is hidden and our yard was left in excellent condition - they cleaned up the small amount of branches that needed to be trimmed for lights to be installed next to the house. We had a light installed on the side of our front steps for a corner column and it’s amazing how you cannot see any wiring at all! Truly impressed by the installation crew! We highly recommend this company if you are looking for professional lighting for your home!

Susan R.

Carolina Outdoor Lighting was highly professional, expert, and courteous. So nice to deal with people who really know what they're doing!

Scott H.

M8ie and Matt never fail to impress

Jason P.

I can't say enough good things about these guys. So for the last I would say 5-7 years we have been doing the solar powered low voltage lights to light up our sidewalk and one other area. We were ALWAYS frustrated that the lights would usually not last the night, after about 6-8 months one of them would invariably stop working, I even tried the wired low voltage lighting from Home Depot/Lowes. They would break even faster than the solar ones.

So we finally decided to have it professionally done. After reading all the reviews online and seeing that Carolina Outdoor had an A+ rating it was an easy call.

Matt came out the next day and went through everything that would probably work the best. Then the service manager came out about 2 days later and did the evening demo, once we fiddled with is every so slightly we were sold.

The only thing that was a touch of a pain point was they there about a month out on installs. Kevin was great keeping us informed of when the install would happen, and they pulled it in about week.

We could NOT be happier with the results, the house looks fantastic now. Before it we were a dark place you could not see from the street, now it looks really nice.

Would DEFINITELY recommend to anyone.

Lance T.

To say we have been satisfied is an understatement . With over 100 outdoor lights of various application I can say the quality and durability has been fantastic. However, what sets them apart as an outdoor lighting company is their incredible service and ongoing support. They are quick with any repairs which have all been covered by warranty and they are courteous and friendly every time . Very good people who can be trusted with your outdoor lighting!

Athena W.

5 Stars all the way. Could not be happier.

Kelly S.

Excellent service and customer service!
Beautiful low voltage lighting.

Kevin H.

Carolina Outdoor Lighting put in my system 5 years ago. I had a couple of bulbs that recently started to fade and I called them for warranty service. They came out same week, replaced those bulbs and checked everything else. The system looks brand new again. This is what great customer service looks like. Highly recommend!!

Ron M.

The entire team is outstanding—professional, responsive, and efficient. They provide quick turnaround times and go above and beyond, even handling warranty concerns and bulb replacements with ease. I highly recommend them, and the results have made our home look incredible

Steve G.

Have been admiring a beautifully Carolina Outdoor Lighting illuminated home down the street for quite some time. Finally got around to calling them...and within a few days, our house looks fantastic. The evening preview visit was superb to help us understand what our home would look like, and then a few days later, the installation was perfect. Great crew who came on time and were extremely professional. Can't say enough about this team. If you are considering lighting for your home, this is the right team!

rena vassiliou W.

Carolina Outdoor Lighting exceeded my expectations from start to finish! From the first consultation to the final installation, they were professional, attentive, and easy to work with. They arrived on time, and I really appreciated how quickly they responded to every question and message. The crew paid attention to every detail, making sure the placement of each light enhanced the look of my home. The transformation is incredible—my house looks beautiful and welcoming at night. It’s clear they take pride in their work, and the quality shows. I would highly recommend Carolina Outdoor Lighting to anyone looking to add both beauty and functionality to their home.

Jeffrey S.

Super happy with Carolina Outdoor Lighting. Did an install about 8 years ago. System has worked flawlessly until one day a light went out. The company dropped off a new light for me to replace it, no charge. It didn’t work. The company then came back out to troubleshoot and found damage to wiring as a result of some landscape edging that was installed recently. Again, no charge. System works flawlessly again. Would highly recommend this company for their products, installation, communication, and service.

Cary C.

We’ve been working with this company for years and they never cease to amaze me with their professionalism, not to mention the gorgeous lighting concepts they offer. We spruced up our existing lighting for an upcoming outdoor wedding at our home and we could not be happier with the results! Love these guys!

Douglas J.

This is a high quality group. From the initial review and suggestions, thru a demonstration (temporary setup one evening), and finishing with the installation and follow up, we have nothing but high regards for this company and their crew(s).

Darrell J.

Very professional team. They came out and gave a great demonstration and there was no pressure to buy from them. They gave me choices and prices and were true to their word. The work was done exactly to what they promised and the installation crew were very courteous. Very please with the results! Thanks to Austin and his crew.

Bobby G.

If you are considering landscape lighting you need not look any further. Beginning with the first phone conversation to the completion of the project…very well done.
I guess I have to use the word…Excellent!

Molly S.

We had another wonderful experience with Carolina outdoor lighting at our new home! We are repeat customers for a reason- the team is incredibly professional, organized and does a great job!

Lori J.

Great experience with installation and maintenance support thereafter. I enjoy sitting on my front porch at night. The lighting also improves the curb appeal of the house in my neighborhood. Glad I chose Carolina Outdoor Lighting for this project!

Thomas V.

Great work. Love it!

Wayne S.

Carolina Outdoor Lighting is outstanding! The quality of their work speaks for itself. They were on time, easy to communicate with from start to finish, and even after installation. All the way around, there’s none better

Kevin S.

This was the second installation Carolina Outdoor Lighting has done at my home. Kevin was great by coming out and showing us options, and Austin did a great installation. We are very happy with the results and appreciate the great communication at each stage.

Bill L.

Awesome experience from the initial call, to the night time demo, to install. Everything went smoothly and the finished product looks amazing! Highly recommend to anyone looking. Communication was remarkable and prices were very fair.

Nicole H.

Thank you Austin, Kevin, Doug and Parker. What an amazing crew! From beginning to end they not only provided a wonderful lighting system, but the professionalism and work ethic is impeccable! The beauty of the lighting system is unmatched and we are extremely pleased. We will see you soon for more lights.

Kelly P.

Are you looking for uplighting for your home?? Joe and I would highly recommend the team at Carolina Outdoor Lighting Professionals Inc., the whole team from beginning to end were very professional and efficient installing our new uplighting to the front and back of our home. We are in love with our new outdoor lighting. Thank you Kevin, Mike and the whole team at Carolina Outdoor Lighting Professionals Inc.

Karen P.

We had a great experience with COLP. They were quick to respond to our request for service, thorough with their inspection of our current system, and helpful to suggest how we could enhance it. They installed supplemental lights, and we love the results. Highly recommend!

Zekiye H.

This is a great company to choose for your outdoor lighting project. They offer a night demo (rare to find) so you can see the finished project ahead of time, which is a big plus! Kevin helped meet our budget, and Austin was patient explaining the system operation, as well as following up several times to make sure we were happy. What more could one ask for! Thank you to all that was involved. Highly recommend.

Patrick D.

We wanted to thank Carolina outdoor lighting professionals for the great job they did on our house it looks amazing. So glad we decided to go with their company. The free demo they offer is amazing. It showed us exactly what look we were trying to accomplish. Thanks Doug. Parker and his crew that installed the lights we’re great to work with, very knowledgeable answered all my questions. Thanks again for everything. I will definitely recommend your company to anyone who asks about the lights at our house. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟stars review

natalie Y.

Highly recommend! Professional and knowledgeable. Mike was great and extremely helpful. 10/10.

Heather L.

We had a wonderful experience with Carolina Outdoor Lighting installing accent lighting on our arborvitaes and various other trees. From start to finish they were consistently prompt and helpful. We appreciate that Greg went above and beyond to troubleshoot issues we were having with our existing bistro lighting from another company on the day of install. We will definitely be contacting them for any future lighting needs!

Charles J.

Great experience all around. The work was done quickly and professionally. Everyone I had the privilege to meet or speak with was wonderful. They are all very knowledgeable about the work they do. Very kind and friendly. Made sure to call the next day to ensure I was happy with the finished product. Will recommend them to everyone!

David J.

Carolina Outdoor Lighting Professional did an amazing job installing the lights on our home. Other companies were not able to light our house across the entire front because of the three car garage. Carolina Outdoor Lighting was able to light across the front of the garage by installing lights within the concrete driveway. Those driveway lights took the look to the next level. We are very pleased and now planning our next lighting project.

Ellen B.

What a great team! Everything was perfect. AAA+

Lana L.

We are so happy with Carolina Outdoor Lighting Professionals! They were efficient, knowledgeable, and friendly throughout the whole process. Our home feels warmer and more inviting. A huge thank you to the team—highly recommend!

Hilda R.

I had a team coming to install my Landscape lights. They were all be polite and professional and pleasant to deal with.
Austin went out of his ways to make sure I was pleased with the final work! I highly recommend COLP, Inc. I love my new Landscape lights and their service is top notch!!

Lawrence C.

I was extremely impressed with the professionalism and integrity of the Carolina Outdoor Lighting team at all stages. The quality of the lighting system is first-class in every way. Highly recommended.

glenn W.

I recently needed some outdoor patio lighting on short notice for an upcoming party. I reached out to a few companies and only one company answered the phone with a live person, Carolina Ourdoor Lighting. Kevin took my call and answered all my questions and scheduled a consultation for the next morning. One of the two owners came out the next day and and designed a wonderful look that fit my need perfectly. Even though their schedule was full, they worked me in and had my lights installed for my party the upcoming weekend. I could not be more satisfied with their customer service and individual attention I received from this company. I highly recommend them for any outdoor lighting needs

stack B.

5 stars! Carolina Outdoor was responsive and so easy to work with. We will call them again for our next project

Kim K.

Parker and the team were efficient, polite and great to work with. Would highly recommend Carolina Outdoor Lighting.

Joe N.

Carolina Outdoor Lighting Professionals installed our landscape lighting many years ago. They came out and set up a demo so we could see what the system would look like before they installed it and made sure we were satisfied every step of the way. The design they suggested is beautiful and the system has operated flawlessly for many years. When we need occasional service, they are prompt and professional. Highly recommend.
