When choosing a deck for your house, you'll be looking at all aspects of deck design, including levels, styles, materials, and overall, cost. Once you've chosen your deck design, the materials you want (wood or PVC), it's up to the creative side of you to create the finishing touches that can really 'make' the deck. One of the best ways to do that is with the use of solar post cap lights.
Support posts are necessary to hold up the structure of the deck and the stairs, but they are often very plain looking and don't add much to the design aesthetics of the deck. Adding solar post cap lights can create an interesting accent light that is not to intrusive, but illuminates just enough of the deck to make it usable at night.
Solar post cap lights are very simple in their operation. During the day, sunlight collects on a solar collector panel, which turns it into usable electricity, which is stored in the internal rechargeable battery. A photo sensitive sensor in the top of he unit 'sees' the sunlight, and knows when to turn the light on and off. As long as they get plenty of sunlight during the day, your solar post cap lights will continue to provide hours and hours of gentle nighttime illumination.
With standard lighting options, you would have to hire an electrician to install outdoor power outlets and run electric lines from your house to each light. The electrician may even have to add a new circuit to your fuse box. All that work can get expensive and in the way. Solar post cap lights eliminate the need to run wires everywhere. Since they don't run off of grid electricity, they can save you money on your electric bill as well.
