Deck stairs in the dark are where people trip. Deck lights fix that and look good doing it: small points of light set into the treads, edges and posts — warm white every evening, or matching the roofline for the holidays.
Each light sits flush in a metal Deck Ring in black, gunmetal or silver, with a clear cap for a crisp point of light or a frosted cap for a softer glow. On busy stair treads, an optional recessed spacer sets the lens just below the ring to protect it from boots, furniture and shovels.
The wiring tucks under the deck and every light stays accessible for service. Deck lights can be added to any Gemstone system, and as electricians we handle the power and the routing.

We couldn't be happier with the work Baer Electric did installing our Gemstone Lights! From start to finish, the experience was seamless and professional. He was punctual, courteous, and incredibly knowledgeable about the product and the installation process. The final result is stunning — our home looks amazing both day and night. What really stood out was Baer Electric's attention to detail and commitment to making sure everything was perfect before finishing the job. He also took the time to walk us through how to use the app and customize our lighting, which we really appreciated.
