I have a GC who is building a deck for a customer. This particular deck will have no lid and no railing around it. It is just a deck that comes off the back of the house. I have not seen this house yet, but he has set up a meeting with the homeowner, him and I and wants me to present some lighting ideas for the deck. The back of the house has two lights on the wall, but the GC is wanting something like accent lighting that will light up the edge of the deck opposite the house (I hope that makes sense). I am thinking a couple of bollard lights, but the ones I see in catalogs seem too commercial to me. Any ideas or websites I might check to find something more residential looking?
Any Ideas?

Just finished one similar. Actually talked the homeowner into some built in benches with recessed step lighting in them. They even added some to face out into the yard also, to highlight the edge for safety.
I have also put these in the band on low decks.

I have to ask...how high is the deck off of the ground? There are building codes that require rails at a certain height.

The big orange and blue stores have some nice deck lighting. I put a gazebo on mine and just lit it with C9 X-mas lights. You need a rail if the deck is higher than 30" above adjacent grade.
