Controlling Your Deck Lights

One of the more important things when installing your outdoor deck lighting is installing the switch controls. Sometimes this item is last on everyone’s list, but should be considered first. Placing the switch to operate your deck lighting needs to be centrally and conveniently located. It is important once you have placed the lights to have the switch easily accessible. More than likely if you place the switch where it is out of reach, the lighting will not be used. If your back yard deck light control switch is in the garage 150 feet away, the switch location is not convenient. Make sure to place switch in an area protected from water and weather. Typically this type of switch works perfectly just inside your home, near the back door. Being able to access the switch from the inside is not only more convenient, but much safer.
