After spending a relaxing afternoon in the sun on your deck, the last thing you want is for night to bring an end to your time outdoors. Add both light and ambiance to any outdoor living space with LED lights that are easy to install and simple to manage.
From post caps and dome lights to side and stair lights and underrail lighting, you can illuminate a yard and bring even more warmth to a home with a simple click of a button — literally. Learn how and why lighting for your railing may be just what your outdoor space is missing.
Choosing the location of your railing lights
The lights on any railing can set the mood for the evening, whether it’s a family gathering or a party filled with friends and fun. The location of the lights can make all the difference to the aesthetic and the amount of light emitted in your outdoor space.
RDI® Railing provides four different types of lighting for railing:
- Lighted post caps
- Side and stair lights
- Dome lights
- Underrail lighting
LED lighted post caps come in solar and wired styles — both of which can be easily installed with a plug-and-play lighting system. A variety of sizes and styles are available to match with RDI Railing composite, vinyl, aluminum and steel railing posts.
Side and stair lights are a necessity when enjoying an outdoor space in the dark. Their subtle location not only brings an understated charm, but also makes it safer for your guests to walk up or down the steps at dusk or in the evening.
Dome lights can add even greater ambiance as they easily complement lighted post caps and underrail lighting. RDI Railing’s underrail lighting comes in strips with an adhesive backing, which makes it easy to install on the underside of your railing. The strips fit particularly well with the top rails on Avalon Aluminum Railing® or Transform® Composite Railing, or in the top rail channel beneath Titan® Pro Rail Vinyl Railing, Finyl Line™ Vinyl Railing or Endurance® Original Rail™
