Light Up Your Dock with Marine-Grade LED Piling Lights
Piling lights are outdoor-rated dock lights designed to mount directly on top of dock pilings. They combine two functions providing illumination and protecting pilings from weather damage. Often built into durable piling caps, these lights help you navigate safely around your dock at night while shielding pilings from water intrusion, sun exposure, and bird activity.
DRSA’s piling lights are crafted for performance, safety, and a polished waterfront look. Whether you own a private dock, manage a marina, or want to elevate your boat lift area, these lights offer long-lasting protection and reliable LED illumination all built to handle the elements.
What Is a Piling Light?
A piling light is a lighting fixture installed on the top of a dock piling to enhance visibility, safety, and aesthetic appeal around waterfront spaces. These fixtures are often integrated into piling caps made from UV-resistant materials, offering 360° lighting coverage while sealing off pilings from rain and debris. Available in solar or wired options, piling lights are a low-maintenance solution for illuminating boat slips, walkways, and dock edges.

How to Measure for Piling Caps
T
-
Wrap a string tightly around the full circumference of the piling
-
Measure the length of the string in inches
-
Divide that number by π (3.1416) to calculate the diameter
-
Round up to the nearest half inch to select your cap size
Example:
25" string ÷ 3.1416 = 7.96 → Order an 8" piling cap
