What is dockscaping?

Dockscaping is the practice of upgrading your dock the way landscaping upgrades a yard: making it safer, easier to use and better looking, from the water and from the shore. Lighting is the heart of most dockscaping projects, and a solar LED docklight is the simplest way to add it.

A dark dock is hard to find after sunset, tricky to tie up to and easy to trip on. A well-lit one looks like home the moment you round the point. That's exactly what UWGFL Solar Dock Lights are built to do, whether you're docking a boat, mooring for the night or fishing off the end of the dock.

Benefits of solar LED dock lights

Better visibility on the dock. Clear footing at night means fewer stubbed toes, missed cleats and dropped gear. Whether you're unloading coolers or heading out for a sunrise fish, you can see where you're stepping.

Spot your dock from the water. Coming back after dark, every shoreline can look the same. A row of solar dock lights marks your dock so you can pick it out from across the water and head straight for it.

Easier docking and mooring. Lights along the edges outline the shape of your dock, so you can judge distance and line up your boat, pontoon or jet ski with confidence. Less guessing means fewer bumps and scrapes.

Safer for everyone. Kids, guests and pets all move more safely on a lit dock. Clearly marked edges help keep everyone on the boards and out of the water.

Made for night fishing. If you fish from your dock after dark, LED dock lights keep your footing, tackle and lines easy to see. Pair them with UWGFL underwater fishing lights, which shine into the water to draw in baitfish, and your dock becomes your favorite night fishing spot.

They look great. A softly glowing dock reflected on the water turns your waterfront into the best view on the lake, and it adds curb appeal you can see from the house.

Choose your solar dock light color: green, white or blue

UWGFL Solar Dock Lights come in 3 LED colors, so you can dockscape your way. Mix them or pick one for a clean, uniform look.

How to install solar dock lights: no wiring, just 2 screws

Forget trenching cable or running power down to the water. UWGFL Solar Dock Lights charge from the sun during the day and light up your dock at night.

Installing them is an easy DIY job:

  1. Pick your spot on the dock where the light will get sun during the day.
  2. Hold the light in place and drive in 2 screws.
  3. Move on to the next one. That's it.

Most dock owners can light up their whole dock in an afternoon with nothing more than a drill.

Dockscaping ideas: where to place your dock lights

  • Outline the edges. Space lights evenly along both sides so the full shape of your dock shows up from the water.
  • Mark the end. Put lights on the corners at the end of the dock, the first thing you'll aim for when coming in.
  • Light the walkway. Line the path from shore to dock so the trip down is just as safe as the dock itself.
  • Highlight the hazards. Add a light by steps, ladders, cleats and any change in level.
  • Frame the boat slip. Light both sides of your slip to make pulling in at night a lot less stressful.
  • Light your firepit or outdoor seating area. Light the border of your firepit for saftey and beauty.

Outlining a dock and its walkway adds up quickly, which makes right now the perfect time to stock up.
