Deck lighting suggestions? (Railings are iron)

[Don Wiss]

I have a deck about 12 feet square. The railings are wrought iron and 42" high. I could mount some light on the wall on the side that is against the house. Better lighting it seems is on the railings. But when I search the web all I find are for wood railings. :(

How about installing a square wooden post light in a corner, wired through the bottom and under the deck.

Best is small white courtesy lights made for use on boats. Mount on the underside of the metal railing, mounting and wiring will be a pain in the butt. Power from a suitably sized low voltage landscape lighting transformer.

Can you floor mount some lights on the deck? I mean using flush mounted lights that are not a trip hazard. You might see them around larger buildings. Be aware the get hot (touching by children).

This is a deck over a roof. It has removable panels in a parquet pattern.

12ft sq? 3x4ft, so it holds one person

Uh - no.

OP said 12 feet square - ie 12' X 12', not 12 square feet - ie 3" X 4' or 2" X 6".

At least that's how I read it.
