SMY Lighting Recessed LED Deck Light Kits with Protecting Shell φ32mm, In Ground Outdoor LED Landscape Lighting IP67 Waterproof,12V Low Voltage for Garden,Yard Stair,Patio,Floor,Kitchen Decoration

Hands down the most affordable and best looking solution for deck stair lights! We're avid DIYers but certainly not super experienced and this was a simple project once we had an electrician install our outdoor outlet. We used the recommendations of many other reviewers and found these the most helpful/necessary to follow: - If you're installing them recessed (without the protective shell), you'll need a 15/16-Inch Forstner Bit - it's a perfect fit - Definitely add on the SMY Deck Lights Dimmer with RF Wireless Remote Controller (or a similar dimmer) - these lights are TOO bright at 100%. We keep ours on at 10% constantly and it's the perfect amount of light/throw without blinding you as you walk up the stairs. - If you want your stair lights to turn on automatically, I recommend the Kasa outdoor smart plug over a simpler outdoor light sensor timer. We lose power at the house where we installed these lights somewhat often and the simpler sensor timer did not remember our settings, so the lights wouldn't come on automatically after an outage. Kasa however, remembers the settings (and keeps the lights at 10%) even post-outage and can be set to follow actual sunset times based on location.

These lights are great. I put them in my main house in the picture included here - in that case the brown Trex deck, and I liked them so much I just installed a second set at my lake house - wooden steps - picture attached here shown as mid-project (for a couple of stairs I've completed two lights per stair, but for most stairs only one in so far (and yes, I'll be redoing my railing next in case you can't tell!)). There was so much discussion around what size hole saw to use with a lot of people indicating 15/16 inch - a size my kit did not come with - so I ordered one from Amazon. Oh dear God, it was not close to 15/16 when it finally came, so that was wasted time and dollars. Save yourself the trouble. Trust me, I've now installed 40+ of these lights - if you're installing them without the outer black case then 25 mm is the perfect hole saw size. I haven't installed any lights with the black case so I'm not going to comment on the correct size for that I stall. Admittedly I might buy a dimmer for the lake house given that there are 28 lights, but I'd rather have them too bright and dim them down than get lights that aren't bright enough... It's very dark at the lake house.

These lights are BRIGHT!!! I bought the warm white LED lights, hoping they wouldn't be too bright. As you can see from the pictures, if you were to be standing in front of the stairs they definitely bright you as you walk up. This would be my ONLY complaint. These lights are super easy to install, all the lights are plug and play from the transformer to the last light in a daisy chain. This setup, you plug into a 110v home outlet when you want them to be on. I didnt want to hvae to plug them in every night or when using our deck at night. I didn't have an outlet close enough to route the lights anyway. I ended up connecting an outdoor power source directly into the plug, mounting a few weatherproof box and some outdoor 14-3 UF wire. I also connected a single gang box for a photocell. This is a dusk til dawn photocell, all I have to do is turn my light switch ON, on the inside of my basement patio door and I'm all good to go. Now these lights will activate at night and turn off in the morning. I also have the option to completely turn off the lights with the flip of the switch.

These are great lights. I think unboxing them might have taken longer than installing them :-) unfortunately, the dimmer and remote did not work well for me. I wanted to keep the lights at 10% all the time and then power them on/off with a switch, not the remote. I was not able to do this. When the switch was turned on, the lights would not come back on without the remote. I simply removed the dimmer unit, and I'm now simply powering them on and off with my switch. It's unfortunate because they're extremely bright.. Which, depending on your application, can be a good or bad thing. Overall though, they're awesome lights and I would recommend them to anyone. I will be buying a 12v driver/power supply separately with a dimming switch to see if I can get them to work the way I'd like them to. I'll update this review when I get this done. The remote is very small and flimsy, I'd rather the remote not be my primary source of adjusting the lights. Not to mention, in my house, that thing would likely get lost! Also, I did buy a 15/16 spade drill bit, I did not use the black sleeve, and the installation was truly a breeze. Be mindful of lining up the arrows - they're rather hard to see. I'd recommend wiring them up during full daylight hours. Update: 10/7/2020 I've since purchased a 12v/60W power supply and dimmer, and I'm pleased to say that the updated configuration is working well! Since I ran together more lights than a single provided power supply can supply in watts, this was necessary. I wired a dimmer switch, which also powers the lights off, and this was the perfect solution for my situation. It's a rotary, PWM dimmer, which I mounted in an outdoor plastic enclosure box. These lights are awesome!

These lights worked great on our stairs. Very easy to install.

Preciosa iluminacion, muy elegante!!!

Freaking gorgeous! Super easy to put in, no issues with wiring. I got an extra all weather box to insulate the transformer more even if it's rated for outdoor use, just in case.

Great product. Ordered the 16 light pack and have since purchased another 16. Very easy to install, no electrician required.

Me encanto que puedes controlar intensidad con el control remoto que compre junto con las lámparas excelente iluminación.

Die Einbaustrahler sind eine hervorragende Wahl, um eine stilvolle und funktionale Beleuchtung für die Terrasse zu schaffen. Ich habe sie in meiner neuen WPC-Terrasse installiert und bin mit dem Ergebnis sehr zufrieden. Die Strahler fügen sich nahtlos in das Terrassendeck ein und sorgen abends für eine wunderschöne, dezente Atmosphäre. Die Installation war unkompliziert, und die Verarbeitung der Strahler wirkt robust und langlebig, was für den Einsatz im Außenbereich wichtig ist. Das Licht der LEDs ist angenehm hell und sorgt für eine gute Orientierung, ohne dabei zu blenden. Ein kleiner Wunsch, der das Erlebnis noch perfektionieren würde, wäre die Möglichkeit, die Strahler zu dimmen. Dies ist für mich persönlich zwar nicht ausschlaggebend, aber es würde die Flexibilität bei der Gestaltung der Lichtstimmung weiter erhöhen. Ich betreibe die Strahler in Verbindung mit einer smarten Steckdose. Das erlaubt mir eine bequeme Steuerung per Sprachbefehl, wie "Alexa, Gartenlicht an" oder "Gartenlicht aus", was den Komfort erheblich steigert.
