Using low-voltage LED lights, you can light all of your railing and posts without fear of shock or electrocution. Most outdoor lighting is now low-voltage, which requires a transformer to convert the normal 120-volt current to a low-voltage 12-volt current.
Outdoor post lights are a very versatile option for lighting your outdoor spaces. Since they have the freedom to be moved, you can place them pretty much anywhere, such as the entrance to a driveway, deck, or porch.
