What are Dual Outward & Downward Post Cap Lights? Combo Lighting for Decks & Fences
Dual Outward & Downward lighting (often called combo lighting) is one of the most popular options for homeowners who want both style and function from their post cap lights. These caps are designed to enhance the look of your deck, fence, or railing during the day while providing attractive, practical illumination at night. The combination of two lighting directions creates a warm, inviting atmosphere and improves visibility around outdoor living spaces.
What is Dual Outward & Downward Lighting?
Dual Outward & Downward lighting refers to a post cap design that shines light both horizontally outward and downward toward the post. The outward glow adds decorative ambiance along the perimeter of your deck or fence, while the downward light highlights the post itself and gently illuminates the walking surface below. This blend of accent lighting and functional visibility is why these are often called “combo” lights. These caps deliver two lighting effects in one efficient fixture.
