The Dock Edge Solar Piling Cap Light is a self-contained marker for boaters who want their slip and pilings visible after dark without running wire down a post. It caps a standard piling and throws 360 degrees of light so you can spot the dock edge on the approach or mark a piling field for anyone working the water at night. Solar charging during the day handles all the power, so there's nothing to plug in and no batteries to buy on a schedule. For anyone shopping dock lights for pilings, this is one of the simpler installs you'll find.
Power comes from a solar panel feeding a rechargeable AAA Ni-Cd battery, and a built-in photo sensor switches the light on at dusk and off at dawn automatically. The body is molded from UV resistant ABS plastic to hold up against sun and salt, and the unit carries an IP65 waterproof rating per manufacturer specifications. It ships with six preinstalled LED colors and lets you change colors anytime, so you can match a dock theme or color-code separate pilings. A 2 inch wildlife deterrent spike sits on top to keep birds off the cap. Overall dimensions run 6 inches in diameter and 7.25 inches high including the spike, with a 4.375 inch flange that seats over flat or conical mounts.
Mount one on each piling around a slip and you have a lit perimeter that runs every night on its own — useful for night returns, low-light docking, and keeping guests from stepping off the wrong edge. The no-wire setup means it works on remote docks and floating sections where running power isn't practical. Pair it with matched piling caps on your unlit posts for a consistent look, and check our broader docking accessories for fenders, lines, and hardware to finish out the dock.
No. It runs entirely on solar power, charging a rechargeable AAA Ni-Cd battery during the day. A photo sensor turns it on at dusk and off at dawn automatically, so there are no wires to run and nothing to plug in. That makes it practical for remote docks and floating sections where power isn't available.
Yes. The light comes with six preinstalled LED colors and lets you change colors anytime. Many owners use the option to color-code separate pilings or match an existing dock theme.
The body is molded from UV resistant ABS plastic and carries an IP65 waterproof rating per manufacturer specifications, so it stands up to sun, rain, and salt exposure on coastal docks. It is backed by a 2-year warranty against defects in workmanship and material under normal use.
The cap measures 6 inches in diameter with a 4.375 inch flange and a 3.375 inch body, and it seats over flat or conical mounts. Check our piling caps for matched unlit posts if you want a uniform look across the dock.
The 2 inch spike acts as a wildlife deterrent to keep birds from perching on the cap. It also adds to the overall height, bringing the unit to 7.25 inches tall including the spike.
