The place for all your outdoor living space!
Trex is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2026, and the company is entering its next chapter with an expanded focus on complete outdoor living spaces.
One of the biggest additions is the redesigned new Trex Outdoor Lighting collection, a coordinated outdoor lighting system created to work with Trex decking, railing and stairs.
Trex officially announced the upgraded collection in September 2026 as part of an expansion of its outdoor living portfolio. The company describes the new system as lighting designed to remain discreet during the day while transforming the deck after dark.
For homeowners, that means more than simply adding lights to a deck. The fixtures are designed as part of the overall outdoor space.
30 Years of Trex Innovation
Trex was established in 1996 and helped create the composite decking category.
The original concept grew from finding a useful new application for recycled plastic film combined with reclaimed wood fiber. Over the following three decades, Trex expanded from a decking manufacturer into a broader outdoor living brand.
Today, its portfolio includes decking, railing, outdoor lighting, fencing, drainage products, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, furniture and other outdoor living products.
The new Trex Lighting system reflects that transition. Rather than treating deck lighting as an isolated accessory, Trex designed the new collection to coordinate with the rest of the deck.
Designed to Disappear by Day and Transform by Night
A major theme of the new collection is integration.
Low-profile fixtures are designed to blend into Trex railings, posts and stairs during daylight hours. At night, they create warm illumination around the deck without allowing the fixtures themselves to dominate the design.
Trex has also designed the light output to complement the colors and finishes used throughout its decking and railing systems. The new system uses high-CRI LEDs and a carefully tuned color temperature to help colors remain natural under nighttime lighting.
The Trex brochure describes the concept as making the deck usable from morning coffee through late-night conversations rather than treating the space as a daytime-only area.
A Complete 24VDC Lighting System
The redesign goes beyond the visible fixtures.
Trex developed the new collection as a complete 24VDC low-voltage ecosystem that includes transformers, timers, extension wiring, splitters, dimming controls and compatible lighting fixtures.
Plug-and-go connections are intended to simplify installation, while transformers with dusk-sensing and programmable timer controls make the finished system easier to operate.
Important Compatibility Note: The redesigned Trex Lighting collection uses a new 24VDC lighting ecosystem, including new transformers, wiring, splitters, connectors, and controls. If you are adding lighting to an existing Trex system, confirm component compatibility before combining new and previous-generation lighting products.
A dimmer and remote can adjust the lighting from a low evening glow to brighter illumination depending on how the deck is being used. Trex states that its dimming system offers adjustment from 1% to 100%.
New Post Cap, Stair and Under-Rail Lighting
The redesigned portfolio covers several areas of the deck.
New post cap lighting is available for Trex composite posts, Trex Signature® and Select™ aluminum railing, and Signature® X-Series™ railing.
For stairs, homeowners can choose between compact Oval Riser Lights and longer Linear Riser Lights that create a continuous illuminated line across the stair.
Trex has also introduced an Under-Rail Light designed to create a continuous glow below the bottom railing.
This makes it possible to combine several lighting styles throughout one project while keeping the appearance consistent.
Built for Outdoor Conditions
Outdoor lighting needs to withstand more than occasional use.
The new Trex Lighting collection is UL wet-location listed and uses weather-resistant components designed for exterior environments. Trex also backs the lighting with a 5-Year Limited Warranty.
Extension wiring uses soy-free sheathing intended to help reduce rodent attraction, while threaded water-resistant connections are used across several fixtures.
These small details matter because lighting is installed inside the same outdoor environment as the deck itself.
