Focus landscape lighting fixtures and transformer for deck lighting.

Hello- I am installing low-voltage lighting on a deck and had a few questions:1) What do you recommend - Focus lighting or Kichler lighting for a deck? I am trying to stay w/in a $30-$50 per light range. I was looking at copper lighting to go with IPE decking. What is the best quality lighting within that range?2) Since the fixtures will be on posts and steps, how do you suggest that I conceal the wiring that will run up the posts? Is there a way I can conceal the wiring so all I see is the light fixture?3) Since I will have a 6 foot gap between posts on a deck with aluminum balusters btwn each post, do you recommend placing a light fixture every 6 ft.(on each post) or every other post?

I prefer Focus lighting due to styling and quality. I would not go every post, but every other post. If you use a SL07-BRASS or a SL07-ALUMINUM step light you will be very happy with the results. Pre-drill the posts before installing and make your splices under the deck. You will also need a TRANSFORMER to run the system. Mount the lights about 16" to 24" above the deck. It is always a good idea to test one of the lights before drilling the posts. Good Luck!
