EZ Docks has many accessories for your dock, including dock lighting. Explore different dock lighting types and how to decide what’s best for your property.
Dock Lighting Options
There are two choices when it comes to picking dock lights:
- Solar-powered lights: A solar-powered dock lighting system is advantageous for numerous reasons. Most prominently, solar lights charge during the daytime and turn on when night falls. If your dock gets enough sun during the day, these lights are the perfect choice to save energy. Our pocket lights fit perfectly into dock pockets for convenience.
- Underwater lights: You can also choose underwater lights, which illuminate the water around your dock. This option is great for providing extra ambiance, as well as assisting in navigating watercraft around the dock. The gentle lighting can also attract marine life, which is perfect if you enjoy fishing.
How to Choose
While both solar-powered and underwater lights have their advantages, one of these options might be a better choice for you. For example, if you plan to entertain on your dock after sunset, solar lights may provide better illumination for people walking around. Meanwhile, underwater lights will work better if you want less light pollution.
The right option might also be a combination of both types of lights. You can use solar-powered lights to illuminate the surface of the dock to maintain visibility and underwater lights to provide ambiance and help boats navigate more easily in dark waters.
Benefits of Dock Lighting
Some advantages of adding lights to your dock include:
- Safety: It’s essential to know where you’re going when walking on or near the water, especially after dark. Dock lights add necessary visibility to prevent missed steps and accidental falls into the water.
- Convenience: Whether you’re unpacking from a long day out on the water or preparing for a nighttime fishing expedition, dock lights keep your hands free and help you see where you’re going.
- Extended use: With dock lighting, you can entertain past sunset and extend the use of your dock.
- Aesthetics: In addition to being useful, this lighting adds a certain ambiance to enhance the appeal of your waterfront property.
