Simple step with a big impact. Always light up your risers!
What happens here
Begin by selecting the desired locations for your recessed deck lights on the deck fascia or railing. Using a cordless drill equipped with a 7/8 inch spade bit, carefully drill through the composite deck material. Ensure the drill bit is sharp to create clean holes without splintering. Drill completely through the material to create an opening for the light fixture and its wiring. Repeat this process for all planned light locations, maintaining consistent spacing and alignment.
Goal: Create openings for deck lights
