If you’re lighting your deck or patio, you no doubt want to create a unique, festive atmosphere. One way to do this is to install nautical outdoor lighting. The more expensive versions of these lights are made from brass and are actually salvages from decommissioned or wrecked ships. However, there are outdoor nautical lights that are made of cheaper materials and are replicas of these lights that are affordable and in the price range of nearly every homeowner for their outdoor deck lighting.

What are Nautical Outdoor Lighting Fixtures?

Nautical outdoor lights are generally lights either were used on ships, lighthouses, or docks prior to use in your home or they are replicas of these lights. Outdoor nautical lighting usually simple in design and made to resist the harsh conditions of the sea. Older models are made from stainless steel, bronze, and frosted glass, but newer replicas can be made out of aluminum as well. There are light from many different eras and made of several different types of materials as well. So, you don’t just have to use the light fixtures replicated from early American schooners and ships. You also have the choice of using lights from several different eras.

Installing Nautical Outdoor Light On Your Deck or Patio

You have many different options for nautical outdoor light fixtures that you can install on your deck or patio. First and foremost, make sure that the light fixtures that you are choosing are rated for use outside since so many are replicas and may simply be only rated for indoor use. Using these lights outdoor can create a huge shock hazard.

But, once you’ve figured this out, you’re free to create an amazing nautically themed outdoor deck or patio. The light fixtures are a great start, but don’t stop at just focusing on outdoor lighting design. Look at other design elements that you can incorporate into it. There are many nautical décor items that you can choose from to create the atmosphere that you want, from life preservers to clocks to compasses. Just make sure that you match the styles of your décor and light fixtures together. Otherwise, if you mix lighting from a schooner with décor from a more recent ship, you really will just create a confusing feeling instead of an amazing atmosphere.
