Dock & Lakefront Lighting in Nashville
Marine-grade lighting for docks, boat houses and shoreline steps, built for water, weather and long summer evenings.
Lake living is one of Middle Tennessee’s great pleasures, and evenings on the dock are the best part. We design dock and lakefront lighting to be safe underfoot, gentle on the water and beautiful from the house and across the cove.
Post-cap lights define the walkway, under-rail and under-dock lighting add a soft glow that reflects on the water, and shoreline steps and paths are lit for safe access. We use marine-grade fixtures and connections that tolerate moisture and humidity, and we aim lights to minimize glare for neighbors and for boat traffic.

Clear, even light along the dock and shoreline stairs reduces slips.
Beautiful reflections

Do I need a permit to light a dock?
Rules vary by lake and jurisdiction, and some waterways have specific requirements. We can help you understand what applies before we start.
Will dock lights attract fish or bugs?
Lights can attract insects, and warm LEDs attract fewer than cool white. We can choose settings and aiming to keep things comfortable.
Can you light a floating dock?
Yes. We use fixtures and wiring approaches suited to floating and fixed docks.
