Low Voltage Deck Lights Installation (Lighted Post Caps)

How to install low voltage deck lights and lighted post caps. Using lighted post caps also helps protect the wood posts from rotting.

Good video. I am helping my son rebuild his deck and we used a router to groove the top of the rail and ran the wires through the groove so no wires can be seen at all

That is supper cool! I want this! You should show more pictures of it at night though. Nevertheless, I am getting this for our new house!

We have lots more pictures of the deck lights at night on our website.

What kind of staples did you use? I can barely see them.

What size Forstner bit was that... 1" or was it larger?

[@SteveHodesJr]

I used a 2.5" Forstner bit. 1" auger bit. Then .5" drill bit to shoot up into the hole from under the handrail. The 2.5 (or larger if you have a 6" post) gives you some room to tuck your wire connectors in easy. Good luck!
