Having a dock at the cabin or at your home means having a way to provide lighting in the dock area, walkways, boat mooring locations and even for the sides of a boat house.
Finding a way to provide a constant, bright yet natural looking source of light on the waterfront of a property also adds to the aesthetics of the area. By choosing solar powered dock lights, boat owners can create the light they need for safety as well as the look they want in their landscaping.
The Solar Advantage
One of the biggest advantages of choosing solar powered dock lights is the ability to complete the install and then run the system off the power grid. This means that all you will pay for is the initial cost of the lights and any replacement bulbs you may need over time.
The new options in solar lighting provide decades of use without the need for running extensive wiring or having to pay for power on an ongoing basis. These systems can operate year round and cost the property owner absolutely nothing to have the lights on as needed.
Additionally, with no need for power, they are environmentally friendly. This is as important as saving money for many people today while also allowing you to find the light style that is best suited for different locations on the dock area.
Placing the Lights
When designing the lighting arrangement using solar powered dock lights, consider the different options available. Lights that mount to the dock itself provide light as needed for mooring the boat to the dock or walking around the dock. They are also ideal for along the steps to the area.
Solar lights for over boat house doors and even motion-activated solar lights for the indoor areas of the boat house or the exterior, perfect when bright lighting is required from a top down direction.
