Step 1 · Determine Light Placement

Carefully measure and mark the top of each deck stair railing post where the solar light will be mounted. Consider the aesthetic placement and ensure the lights will effectively illuminate the stairs without creating glare or being easily damaged. Double-check that the chosen locations do not interfere with any existing hardware or the structural integrity of the railing.
