    Gooseneck-Arm Dock Lights

    Style A

    Compared to other dock lights that can only adjust vertically and horizontally, these lights bend at any angle to direct light exactly where it's needed. A polycarbonate lens protects the built-in LEDs, so they’ll withstand bumps and knocks during trailer unloading. Thanks to efficient LEDs and a plastic head, these lights stay cool to the touch. A hinge near the mount allows you to swing them out of the way when not in use. Rated for use in wet locations, these lights can handle humidity and moisture. They also meet rigorous safety standards.
    No need for hardwiring—these lights have a standard three-prong plug. A switch on the arm makes turning them on and off a cinch.
    Style A

    Style A combine a gooseneck arm with a solid arm for stability. They cast cool light that highlights white and blue tones for a bright appearance.

    Store-Flat Dock Lights

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Dock Lights. Store-Flat Dock Lights.
    With built-in LEDs, these lights deliver all the brightness of larger dock lights in a low-profile design. A hinge stop keeps the arm from extending past the dock door, and the curved design fits around the track. Swing them out to light the inside of your trailer, then fold them flat against the door when not in use. Rated for damp locations, these lights handle humidity and moisture.
    Plug them into a three-prong outlet—no hardwiring required. Turn them on and off with the switch near the hinge. Choose the 36” model if you need to mount these more than a foot from the door opening.
