What are Solar Dock Lights


Some of us are lucky enough to do our camping on a lake or have some space near a saltwater piece of paradise somewhere and if you do then you need to introduce yourself to Solar Power on the water in the woods for your boat or your cabin. It doesn’t matter Solar Power goes anywhere these days. Especially with solar-powered lighting in and around your boat and dock, there are a thousand and one Marine products to choose from. What are solar dock lights?

  • Mark off shallow H2O
  • Navigate
  • ID Structures
  • Swim areas
  • Light up Channel markers & Buoys
  • ID home Docks
  • Boating Hazards

These days Solar Power can make our world just that much safer by adding some light to it with all types of Marine Lights. With no wiring near or on the water just pure clean power from the sun to provide safety and warnings to people who make their home or live on the sea. Besides that, they are lighting up some of the most scenic views on this earth, right in your own backyard.

Solar Powered Marker BuoyIf you are living in a Boating Lake, River, or Bay community and live a boating life, it can be a fun and enriching life experience.  Boating is fun, but with it, so is the certainty of accidents and incidents that can be preventable. Where I’m from in New Jersey are what are called Lagoon-type houses.  The Lagoon homes have a Bulkhead and dock located right in your backyard.

There is Boat traffic in the lagoon in your backyards where the water leads to the bay and from there leads to the outlet to the ocean. My Bulkhead contained a Floating Dock that is used to tie off my boat and a stationary Dock all connected to Pilings that hold your Bulkhead in place.

You can travel for the day among the many boaters that come out to the waters for fishing, sailing, and moving along the coast to stop in at the very towns that offer restaurants and nightlife even gambling whereas Atlantic City also provides a place to tie up your boat and enjoy the sights for a while before returning home.

Avoid nighttime boat-versus-buoy incidents with the Solar Powered Marker Buoy! Keep boaters aware of obstacles or navigational hazards all night long and put an end to embarrassing, dangerous, and expensive mistakes. Change the LED color to blue or amber with a swipe of the magnet to distinguish the buoy from shore lights and find your way home more quickly in the dark!

The Solar Powered Marker Buoy is the foolproof way to mark your shoreline, swim area, and other obstacles. The powerful and bright Solar Illuminating Buoy Marker will keep swimmers, docks, and obstacles, safe from boaters during the day and at night! Perfect for finding your way home at night after an evening boat ride! The fun doesn’t stop there! This solar illuminating buoy marker is equipped with Lake Lite’s new patent-pending magnet technology! Swipe the magnet over the solar panel at night to change between 7 brightness levels for user-adjustable brightness and run times.

Hold the magnet for 5 seconds and you can change between White, Blue, or Amber illuminating LEDs! That’s right, a simple swipe, and you can adjust the brightness/run time and buoy illuminating color! I feel a lot safer with kids jumping in the water that is marked off so boaters moving past our Bulkhead will stay off the side knowing that there is some risk when seeing the lights and you can see the lights long before you get there.
