How Do I Choose the Right Deck Cap Light for Me?
There are a few things to consider when adding outside deck lights on your railing post caps. We’ve already gone through the different deck cap lights available, so choosing one is up to your style and preference. Consider these factors:
- Existing Design: Is your home rustic and homey, or modern and sophisticated? Choose one of the deck cap lights that match the existing aesthetic of your home.
- Color Availability: If your railing system is bronze, you’ll likely want to choose a deck cap that can be ordered in bronze for cohesiveness.
- Amount of Light Needed: The larger deck cap lights, such as the Sirius and Titan, offer more glass surface area for the light to shine through, making them valuable in particularly dark spaces. For less lighting to create a romantic ambiance, choose the Iris or Venus styles.
