My deck railing is pretty short - do I need to purchase 1 for each step (3) or will 2 positioned in between the steps, light them up enough?

mine is 6 steps and i have 2 on each side, however i think i could have lit it OK with 2. try 2 and then if you need more just order em, great lights, amazing how much light they put out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Nancy,Well I think that 2 lights would be sufficient for your needs. I have 2 of them, one on each side of my Storage Shed door and they light that up very well. Just make sure they are where they get sunlight during the day and you will have light at night. Try to position them at that point so they will get all the sunlight you can muster.Good luck and Amazon is where I got mine and they have been great.JB

I found them to be fairly bright lights. So, I think if they were positioned right, you could use 2 easily.

are you getting just one or more than one? Either way, since there are 4 light burbs on each, it's definitely going to create circular flashlight effect. If you put it on high like on ceiling, it may light evenly, but it's going to be pretty dim. (almost similar as nonexistent)

Unless the railing is about four inches wide, the lights will likely teeter

If I wwere doing that I would use three chains from the ceiling and use the middle one to support each end of the fixture. You could use metal strips to connect the two fixtures but you will still have to wire them individually. You will like these much better than your old lights!

In a kitchen area, you want bright lights. I'd use 4 unless you have other lights (under the counter, sink lights, etc.).

I have a five inch step so it should work great for three, also. I needed to use the garage entrance as my front stoop was not deep enough without going through the yard.

My deck is the same way so my husband built a wooden step right on the deck. I am including a picture so that you can see what he did. Hope this helps you.

Minimal light. I use them to line some steps, about 2-3 ft apart. Let's you see where To step, but not bright.

Yes you can. However I agree with Ray's answer - you would need to place them every 15-20 feet if you are going for a complete illumination. On my deck I have 2 mounted 7ft high 20ft apart pointing up so the light bounced on the second floor eves. The light illuminates the 75 X 15 ft. area nicely with a soft glow.

No, not as much as two florescent tubes. But two will give you more light the the florescent. The wiring harness to install actually is good for two led tubes, so you could easily start with one and see how you like. No extra work involved in adding a second tube later.

That question has a lot of variables to it... Depending on your lighting configuration, and depending on how 'bright' you want the lighting, they may. If you want it like daylight, you're going to use an awful lot of them, and you're going to need a pretty big transformer to run them. Like any light, elevation and position make a big difference in coverage. Because of the length of the area you're trying to light, locating them all in one group may not do it... they'd likely have to be spread out a bit if you want even lighting across the whole area. For the price, you may want to pick up just one, and play around with it to figure out how much light and where it would need to be located to get the coverage you're looking for.

double for sure. single lights are really weak. might want to go with two doubles if its salt or you want plants.

I know that I can activate 2 at once using the motion sensors. I use one at the top of the stairs and one at the bottom. The motion sensors at the top and the bottom of the stairs can activate both lights.

I purchased these with the thought of putting them on a deck railing. Unfortunately they were too narrow so I gave them to my daughter. I believe they came with a battery, but I think you could add another one...I'd wait till it came before you purchase more batteries. (I purchased rechargeable batteries thinking I'd need them and didn't really need it). Hope that helps!

I don't think that four of them will be adequate lighting. You will need at least 8. Four for each side on a pole. 12-16 would be optimal.

I don't think so but, if you can afford to experiment, see what happens. Me I thinke it might be wiser to use 2 sets of lights. with separate dimers. This would be the save way to do it.

There's support for 2 lights. Metal is cheap and questionable for a very heavy light.
