Don’t forget lighting when you design your dream dock! Lighting can transform your dock, making it an even better addition to your shoreline.
Here are three reasons why you should add lighting to your dock design, plus a few options for you to consider.
#1) Safety
Lighting can enhance safety for almost anyone who uses or approaches the dock. Lights can keep people walking on the dock at night from slipping off. Colored lights can show boats which side of the dock to approach, preventing crashes and other accidents.
Here in Houston, TX< docks are required to have adequate safety lighting, including lights at the very end of the dock, as well as colored lights or group lights to direct traffic.
#2) Aesthetics
Lighting makes any feature look absolutely beautiful! The right lighting can transform your dock from a mere structure into a magical place where it’s fun to spend time, even at night.
A lit dock at night looks lovely from a distance, too.
#3 Increased Enjoyment
When you have adequate dock lighting, you can sit on your dock at night, enjoying yourself with friends or family members. Why not share a drink enjoying the water some evening?
The right underwater dock lights can even help you attract marine life, which means the fish will bite more often and you can enjoy watching the wildlife as it swirls around you.
Dock Lighting Options
Once you’ve accounted for safety lighting, here are a few options to choose from.
- Underwater low voltage LED lights are aesthetically pleasing for both people and marine wildlife.
- Flush mounted lighting can illuminate walking paths.
- Piling lights give away pretty ambient light while offering adequate safety.
- Motion-activated floodlights help you make your boat dock far more secure.
