Using LED’s to Light a Deck

April 6th, 2010 Posted in DIY, Neat Features Tags: ,

Some Neat Features appeal to all of us.  Others, though, are just for a select few.  That’s where this Neat Feature falls.  If you like country living, with nature and small woodland creatures hopping about your back yard, then you’re going to want to look somewhere else.  But I grew up in a small, rural town, and woodland creatures aren’t all they are cracked up to be.  I like city life.  And I like to do city stuff.

But even I like to get outside every now and again.  Especially when I’m hanging out with some friends or looking to entertain at home.

The problem has always been lighting at night.  Living in the city means I can’t light a fire.  And giant flood lights take all the charm out of sitting outside.  So what to do?  Well using this simple modification to an existing desk may have solved my problems.

By adding some LED lights you can create a unique atmosphere.  It’s the Goldilocks Effect, not too bright, not too dark.  And, if you get bored of the color, you can always change it.

Sure this isn’t for everyone, but for people looking to spice up their outside areas, this might be just the trick.
