especially the ones on the underside of the deck stairs.
Well, those ones are permanent. :)
although I guess you don't need them nearly as much in the summer months when it is sunny well into the night!
Not at all really. But they help in the late spring and early autumn, when it is still warm enough to get out there a bit, but too dark.
The deck turned out looking great. Very nice combo with the holiday lights. I say keep them permanent and host more parties with the soft lighting. DJ deck next build out!
