How Much does it Cost to Install Led Deck Lighting?

The cost to install LED deck lighting depends on whether you choose a DIY approach or professional installation, as well as the complexity of your layout.

For materials alone, DIY packages typically range from $400 to $1,200 for a complete system. If you choose to hire a licensed electrician to ensure a safe, code-compliant result, the overall project cost generally falls between $1,500 and $4,000.

Breakdown of Component Costs

To help you plan your budget, here are the typical costs for individual components:

• Fixtures: Most standard fixtures, including post-cap, riser, and rail lights, cost between $10 and $50 each. Integrated LED systems for new decks typically range from $15 to $30 per fixture.
• Transformers: A low-voltage transformer generally runs between $50 and $150.
• Wiring: Landscape wiring averages $0.50 to $1.50 per foot.
