Saltwater Tough: Built with marine-grade materials, powder-coated aluminum, stainless steel, or UV-stable plastics these fixtures resist corrosion, rust, and fading.
-
Weather-Resistant Design: All DRSA piling lights are sealed against moisture, salt spray, and extreme UV exposure. Rain, waves, or blazing sun won’t compromise their performance.
-
Energy-Efficient Performance: High lumen output with low watts. LED technology ensures your docking area is brightly lit without draining your system.
-
Elegant Aesthetics: Clean lines, multiple finishes, and color options mean you can match your dock lighting to your dock fixtures, pilings, or surrounding boardwalk.
-
Smart Control Options: Many models offer dimmable settings, remote or app control, and color customization (RGB / RGBW) for mood lighting.

What to Consider Before Buying
-
Finish & Material: Bronze or stainless steel offer premium durability; powder-coated options provide cost-effective corrosion resistance.
-
IP Rating: Look for at least IP67 for dock and piling lights. Water intrusion and weather exposure demand seals and rugged construction.
-
Voltage & Wiring: Ensure compatibility with your dock’s power supply (typically 12V or 24V DC or 120V AC). High-current runs may need thicker wiring or transformer protection.
-
Beam Spread & Color Temperature: Warm white (2700-3000K) adds ambience; cooler whites (4000-5000K) improve visibility. Narrow vs. wide optics determine how far your light reaches.
-
Control & Dimming: If aesthetic flexibility matters, consider color-changing or fading effects by choosing piling lights with digital controls, a remote, or network-enabled capabilities.

Installation Tips
-
Mount the piling lights level with the cap or deck surface to ensure no water pooling.
-
Use marine-grade silicone or sealant around mounting holes to prevent leakage.
-
Route wiring inside pilings or using conduit to protect from UV and mechanical damage.
-
Leave slack in wiring for future adjustments or repairs.
-
Test lighting before final sealing to ensure functionality and alignment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can piling lights be used underwater?
No. Most piling lights are designed for above-water mounting only. If you need illumination under the waterline, explore DRSA’s Underwater LED Lights.
Q: Do I need special fixtures in saltwater environments?
Yes. Use marine-grade materials with protective coatings and ensure all internal components are sealed and corrosion-resistant.
Q: Will piling lights attract insects?
Warm white LEDs tend to attract fewer insects than cooler tones. Also, fixtures with integrated shields help reduce stray light and insect landing zones.
Q: Is it better to over-light or under-light a dock?
Under-lighting tends to be safer. You can always dim or add accent lights later. Overlighting leads to glare and wasted energy.
