Dock light installation

Good dock lighting makes the walk to the boat safe at night and shows off the waterfront. For Fort Lauderdale homes in neighborhoods like the Las Olas Isles, Rio Vista, Coral Ridge, Harbor Beach and Bermuda Riviera, we install:

  • LED dock and piling lights that mark the edge of the dock and mooring area.
  • Step, deck and seawall lights for stairs, walkways and the seawall cap.
  • Outdoor receptacles on the dock and patio, with weather-resistant covers and GFCI protection.
  • Controls — timers, photocells and smart switches so lights come on at dusk without thinking about it.

Dock light repair

Salt air and water find every weak point. The most common problems we fix:

  • Lights that flicker, dim or stopped working because of corroded sockets, connections or fixtures.
  • A GFCI that keeps tripping — usually water intrusion in a fixture, box or underground run.
  • Damaged conduit and wiring after storms, high tides or dock repairs.
  • Old halogen fixtures that we replace with longer-lasting LED.

Built for the waterfront

Docks and seawalls are wet locations with special electrical code requirements, including ground-fault protection. We use marine-grade, corrosion-resistant fixtures and fittings, sealed connections and properly rated wiring, and we pull permits when the work requires one. On beachfront properties, outdoor lighting may also need to follow sea turtle protection rules during nesting season — we'll tell you if that applies.

Please note: we install and repair dock and outdoor lighting and receptacles. We don't service boat lift motors or controls — for those, contact a boat lift specialist.

Landscape and outdoor lighting

We also install pathway, garden, pool-area and facade lighting, so the whole yard — not just the dock — is lit safely and consistently. For waterfront homes, we also recommend whole-home surge protection.

Pricing

Dock lighting depends on the number of fixtures, the distance from the power source and the condition of the existing wiring, so we quote in writing after a visit. Repairs start with a diagnostic; see our price list.

FAQ

Dock Lighting in Fort Lauderdale: FAQ

Why does my dock light GFCI keep tripping?

Usually because water has entered a fixture, junction box or underground wire. We find the fault, repair or replace the damaged parts and reseal the connections.

Are LED dock lights worth it?

Yes. LED fixtures use far less power, last much longer than halogen and run cooler, which helps sealed fixtures last in salt air.

How long do dock lights last in Fort Lauderdale?

It depends on the fixture quality and exposure. Marine-grade, corrosion-resistant fixtures with sealed connections last far longer than standard outdoor lights.

Do you work on boat lifts?

No. We install and repair dock and outdoor lighting and receptacles; boat lift motors and controls should be serviced by a boat lift specialist.

Do dock lights need a permit?

New circuits and many dock electrical installations do. We tell you during the estimate and handle the permit with the City of Fort Lauderdale when it's required.
