Although most people think they have correctly installed deck lighting, they may be subject to aesthetic beauty rather than functionality and safety. Deck lights should be equally spaced around decks or patios to provide enough light to see any and all obstacles, pets or obstructions that could be masked by invisible darkened areas. This can prevent many falls on steps, tripping on pets, or collisions with chairs that are in the dark, causing bruises and cuts. Many people may have a fire hazard on their hands if they have their lights near flammable materials.

Having proper deck lighting also requires having enough space between deck lights and flammable materials. Wood and other flammable materials will become hot over time if you have high voltage light sources. Keeping bushes and trees trimmed as well as keeping climbing plants away from patio and deck areas will help to prevent fires caused by overheating of such flammable materials. This can easily be preventable by using low voltage deck lighting options such as lower watt bulbs, or using solar deck lights which use energy efficient LED lighting that do not create excess heat.
