While every other person you know is purchasing an electric vehicle to reduce their gas costs and going green, you can apply similar thinking by introducing solar powered dock lights to your docking area to rapidly reduce your costs and boost your green initiatives.
Boats Can Be Expensive to Run; Cost Savings Are Welcome
Whatever size of boat you operate, the overall running costs, including regular maintenance, can increase every year. You will also keep your dock in an excellent condition so that it is safe and secure at all times.
By installing a range of solar powered dock lights, including around your shed, for security and waterfront mooring, you will be lowering your electric bill and increasing the workable area for all involved.
Without having to drain electricity from your utility provider, you can use the benefits of the sun in almost all weathers, to light all the areas around your dock, however far they are away from an easy electric supply. Previously you may have considered vehicle batteries as an alternative method of powering your lighting. This can become an expensive practice as the batteries will require regular maintenance and are gradually failing from the day you purchase them.
How Do Solar Powered Lights Work?
Your solar powered dock lights receive their energy from the sun. There will be a number of small solar panels positioned on top of your lights. This catches the solar energy direct from the sky. Inside the dock light will be a rechargeable battery, one that is easily replaceable should it begin to fail in the future. This battery is charged during daylight hours. As the light fades, the dock lights can work automatically or you can choose to use timers to manage when the lighting works for you most effectively.
Using LED lights within the installation, just a small amount of energy is required to light your dock area effectively.
A Choice of Fittings and Colors Is Available
You may decide to light different areas of your dock with differing colors so it is easy to identify certain areas. This will make returning to your dock area, either as the daylight fades, or during the evening, a far safer experience because you will be guided safely to your waterfront, perhaps extending the hours that you can operate your boating experience.
When you explain, to an expert, the size and variety of lighting that you require around your dock area, it will be easy for them to describe the different types of solar powered dock lights that are available to light your entire dock area, and the walkways to and from that zone.
