and longer lasting than solar garden lights! The Solar
Dock Lite™ v5 is a great way to light up your dock or pier. During
the day the solar panel collects the sun's energy and charges the
batteries. At nightfall, Solar Dock Lite's sensor automatically
turns on the super bright LED. With multiple units your dock will
provide an elegantly lit pathway for all to walk on. This unit is
hands free and energy efficient! Lasts 18+ hours on a full charge
and is brighter than conventional solar garden lights! Yes it lasts
all night! Just place it on your dock post and you are ready to go!
What's Your Favorite
COLOR ? Six colors Available! (Sold
Separate)
That's right, your Solar Dock Lite is the only solar powered light
in the world that has the ability to easily interchange different
color LED's!! We know not everyone's favorite color is the same
so choose from White,
Blue, Green, Red, Orange, or Yellow!
After all who wants the same color as their neighbor?
