Underwater Boat Dock Lights: What You Need to Know
Believe it or not, the lights on your boat dock impact the atmosphere around your home and how you use and enjoy your dock and boat. If you have a hard time docking your boat at night, you’re less likely to use it in the evening. If guests can’t safely walk to and from your dock when the sun has set, hosting nighttime events can be difficult and risky. Your lights should both look great and function properly for long periods of time, which underwater boat dock lights are created to do.

Here is what you need to know about underwater boat dock lights.
What are Underwater Boat Dock Lights?
Underwater boat dock lights are lights that remain underwater while lighting the water and direct surroundings. They are commonly attached to the dock and connected to a local power source. When created and installed properly, they can add safety to your dock and give a unique look and feel to your boat dock.
How Do Underwater Boat Dock Lights Work?
Putting lights underwater comes with challenges. Light travels differently through water, meaning even standard waterproof lights can’t be trusted to light up your dock underwater. Extra precautions also must be taken because electricity travels into underwater lights, complicating installation and maintenance. While some exterior lights, including solar dock lights, do not require professional installation and maintenance, outfitting your dock with underwater lights should be approached carefully to avoid costly mistakes.
- Power supplies
- Straps and mounts to hold lights in place (fixed or hinged mounts)
- Cables to connect lights with the power supply
