I have these lights in two different homes and they are quality solar lights that light up beautifully with enough sunlight by day. I bought the pink one for Breast cancer month and they are just as lovely as the clear white ones. I restock on batteries to keep them working. Sometimes the batteries that are new do not work. Customer service is helpful and resolves issues if a new light does not work.

This is tonight’s photo of my Dock Dots after being 1-2’ under salt water
last night from Tropical Storm Nestor in Lanark Village, FL.

To the week, a year ago, these same Dock Dots were under 8’ of salt water
from Hurricane Michael! I lost some from the destruction of the dock then,
but found many of them at night from their green glow scattered everywhere
after the hurricane!

I guess you could say that I’m sold on them. Most of these are about seven
years old.

I bought four two years ago to test out the spacing of lights and see how long they would stay on and also the durability. I was pretty impressed so I ended up buying them for my whole dock. I ended up doing every six feet and the look awesome! I didn’t want something too bright and these were just perfect. I live near Houston so they get plenty of sun and they stay on all night!! Easy to install..

Fall of 2013 I purchased a set of these dock dots and installed them on a floating dock. They worked perfectly never skipping a beat.

Hurricane Hermine came through my area and took my floating dock away, I searched but never could find it.
31 months later I was looking at Google maps and noticed an odd shape in the middle of a heavily thick saw grass island. I went out searching and even knowing where I thought it was I was still unable to locate it.
I went back out late in the afternoon (high tide) and as it got dark I could see a faint green glow, sure enough 2 of the 4 lights were still working and I was able to locate my dock.

I bought 4 of the white lights to try them because I was skeptical in the beginning. They are great lights...waterproof, easy to install, low maintenance, low profile, and best of all, I can replace the batteries myself when needed. I bought a total of 48 for my dock and it looks great. I live on the NC coast so in preparation for Hurricane Dorian, they are easy to take out and store until after the storm. These are great lights. You will not be disappointed.

Bought two packages of four each in white. They arrived promptly and were well packaged. Batteries are included and need to be installed, so that is the first thing I did.
Immediately after installing the first battery, the first dot came on... super cool. After all eight batteries were installed, four of the eight dots were not working. I panicked a bit, as I read most of the reviews and I had decided for myself that these things were a mixed bag of functional and non-functional.
Regardless, I set them outside and gave them a full day under the Kansas sunshine, and that evening I was rewarded with eight glowing dots.
Our dock is almost complete and i can't wait to install the dots! I am almost certain I'm going to get another eight so that I can line all 36 ft of the dock with them. They're a solid product, and as a guy who tries hard to buy American-made whenever possible - which is hardly ever anymore, sadly - I do appreciate the "designed in America" disclaimer on the front of the packaging.
Thanks, Lake Lite, for a great product.

These are awesome lights. I was looking for low maintenance salt water rated lights and these are exactly what I wanted. Easy to install and easy to remove for battery change or replacement if needed (No screws). Just enough light to create a lighted path without overly lighting up the dock. I bought a total of 36 white lights. I was afraid some wouldn't work as I had read in some of the reviews. After installing batteries in all 36, I had 5 that did not light up. I pulled the batteries out and reseated them in the light, put the cap on, and all 5 worked!! I am considering buying more for my deck and stairs.

Bought 4 to test the amount of time they will last. They are in my Florida front yard on the south side of the house and stay on all night. They will go to the river property new dock this weekend. My issue is fishermen at 5 am need to see the dock so lights that don't last all night don't cut it.

I bought four lights for my gangway.I left the lights out on my dock for a few days prior to installing to make sure they charged and stayed lit as long as they should. For the first night or two, only two of them stayed lit all night, but after that all four continued to stay bright until the wee hours. I guess it took a bit for the batteries to charge up. At that point, I felt comfortable enough with drilling the holes in my planks. The lights look great installed - just what I wanted.

I recently ordered 16 of these nifty little lights all in amber to outline my sidewalk leading down to the lake. All of them worked right out of the box and I can say I love the look and amount of brightness. Very pleased with the purchase and will be buying more.

With the disclaimer that my review doesn't include durability (I just installed these), I am overall very pleased with the solar dots. Not knowing the brightness, I purchased 12 dots with the option to buy more if I need them. I personally really like the brightness of them. They are an elegant accent. Not too bright and not too dim...just right for me. I went with blue to change it up from my neighbors docks and it is a very nice color.

It is a little difficult to show these in photos so trust me they look better in person. I posted some with flash on and off for you to view.

I am in a saltwater environment so longevity of these lights will be the true test. Based on my environment and how they look, I would be happy with a 2 year life span. Time will tell.

I think they are a little expensive, however I do like them....so if they last a while I would say they are worth it.

Before I talk about the lights, let me praise customer service! I have had the lights for two years. ANY problem I have had with these lights was addressed quickly and WITHOUT cost to me. I ordered a total of 12 packs and two individual lights didnot work. LakeLites sent me a new four pack and four new batteries. At the start of this season, I had four that wouldn’t come on and I got four more lights and four more batteries again feee I’d charge. Customer service beats everyone else’s!

The lights provide great marking as I come into my dock at night. In addition, the amber lights keep the bugs away and therefore keep spiders population way down. I strongly recommend these lights. As a side note: because the lights fit into a hole you make in your decking, waves can push them out from the bottom. Use a piece of electric tape around the lights to improve friction fit. You will love them!

We installed these on our new pier a year ago. They are one of my favorite extras I added. Recently, 2 weeks ago, our lake flooded. My pier has been completely submerged for 2 weeks. We were hoping that they were still there and that they worked. Pleased to state they are still there and still work!

Pleased customer!

with the large 'out-of-the-box' failure rate from new owners, I am wondering how well these hold up over time. I do not see any reviews from longtime owners. Are these reliable for many months? How easy are they to pull from the dock for Battery replacement? do the lenses yellow Like todays car headlights?

Another site had these but only in white. Wanted the blue to match the solar post lights, which Lake Lite, also made. Ordered 3 packs of 4 or a total of 12 dots. As soon as the package came, I put the batteries in and set the dots outside. (That was yesterday.)
Later that evening, despite the rain, I wanted to position to where I would place them. Look great and classy on that main staircase. For a side staircase, I needed two on the top step. They did not work.
I contacted Lake Lite today and we exchanged emails about what I had done to make the two work. Once I responded to Keith that I had done all that he had requested, he told me that the two replacement were already being shipped out. I go notice right after that - this morning - that the package was being shipped out by USPS.

Ok, you can always expect something to fail, especially ordering several of them. So the question comes down to how true and fast a company come through for you. I give 'em 5 stars!!

Perfect for my application. Bought 4 packs and all but one dot worked. After a little trouble shooting the lakelite team determined it was defective and sent a new pack as replacement !! Their customer service was also perfect. Need to buy a boat so I can use their products elsewhere!!
Thanks

I really like the size and the amount of light they give off. The directions state that the more sun the longer they stay lit. I tested some under trees and up against my house and they stay lit till the break of dawn. I purchased these because of the great reviews and fair price. Frankly the reviews for all the other solar Bricks or pucks have terrible reviews and don't look as nice. I hope they last long.

Thank you so much for your amazing customer service. We ordered your solar dot lights. Three of the four lights worked well. When I contacted Lake Lite for assistance on the remaining light, they immediately sent a replacement.
I could not imaging better service!
We have received numerous compliments in these mini solar lights. They are beautiful and add to the safety of our deck.

Thank you so much!

I've looked everywhere for some solar lights to go on the steps of my front porch that were recessed. I just needed something that would light up the steps enough to see where you were stepping. I finally ran across these and they work perfect for what I need!

We just completed the construction of our pier and was so excited when we discovered these lights. Purchased 4 initially, wanted to make sure that I liked the look and the design. Needlessly to say, I really liked the look. Reordered another 16 lights and had my contractor install them. The lights put off a nice glow and are not intrusive to the night environment. So for week one, I'm loving these lights.

I purchased a 4 pack of these in red to light the path on my deck to the hot tub. I choose red so that my night vision would not be impaired as I like to look up at the stars. When the lights arrived one of them would not stay lit for more than a few seconds. If I tapped it the light would go back on but then switch off again. I emailed lakelite about the problem and the next morning they emailed me to say they had just placed a new 4 pack in the mail to me. I was only hoping to get the one bad light replaced but they actually sent me 4 additional ones. That was much more than I expected. Needless to say I am very impressed with this company and plan to order
more products.

I had a little different application for the lights. We have a boom to keep the seagrass off our shoreline which is held in place by a series of 3" PVC sleeves over metal pipes. In order to spruce up the area, I cut holes in PVC end caps and inserted the Dock Dots. I bought red and green lights to act as navigational aids to show the gate in the boom. So far the lights are working great!

This is our second purchase of Lake Lite products. They privide the classy look of tasteful dock lights that we were looking for. One of our new packages had one light that wouldn't go on, and it was replaced, with no hassle, in about 48 hours! We definitely will be buying from them again!

I bought these to use in lantern niches in my yard, not for a dock or deck. I was afraid they wouldn't get enough sunlight to work but they show beautifully at night. I am very happy with them. Have only had them for a few days but if they keep working as well as they are now I will be buying quite a few more.

I ordered my dock dots almost a year ago. I wanted to preserve the nice view with a subtle light that would nevertheless outline the dock for night boaters. I chose the amber color and orders 20 or so. They are great and have held up fine in the salt environment I put them in. I would definitely reccomend them to others.

Noticed these on a dock and actually trespassed onto their dock to get product information. Ordered them as a surprise for my dad. They look terrific. They installed easily, give off enough light to be helpful and beautiful but not enough to be intrusive or garish.
I absolutely LOVE them!! Dad loves them too... a great addition to a family place that's been around for five generations.

Fantastic product. Only one lite stopped after 2 years, opened it up and clean some slight corrosion on battery and up an running once again. Highly recommend them.

Lake Lite, maybe you can come up with a multi color one that can be changed with a magnet like some of the other Solar lights that change brightness.

I put 2 of the amber ones in the top of a picnic table and 2 in the side tables of a lawn glider bench. Mostly for accent in the dark but also to find them and to help a little with finding our drinks on the table at night. These things are awesome. They were the talk of our first party and I'm sure you will get some orders out of it. The amber ones were the correct choice since they seemed more subdued than the other colors. We are very happy with them.

Hi,
I just returned form the lake where we installed 16 of the solar deck lights and unfortunately only 10 of them worked even after sitting in direct sunlight for the entire day. The ones that worked are fabulous, how do we go about getting replacements for the six defective lights?

i just wanted to share how your dock lights performed during the historical floods of okanagan lake this year. our dock was 18 inches under water (peak was june 9th), and has since receded, and now the dock is about 1/2 inch under water. during this time, your solar dots have stayed on. truly incredible little lights.

It's not often you are completely happy with a purchase, but this is one of them. Been three months now since install and they are still working great. Stay on all night and are just as bright. All our friends and neighbors have complimented me on them. Can't recommend enough. Tip save plastic tabs so you can reinstall for the winter!

Just installed and we love them. They outline the edge of the dock so you can keep away from the edge. They are bright and look really cool. We staggered them and it really makes for a cool look. Stay on all night, at least till we go to bed. I've seen them on nice and bright after 6 hours of being on even after a cloudy day. Used bore bit rather then hole saw and it worked well even on wet dock. Tip, drill strait as you can and deburr hole so they sit perfectly flat. Highly recommend.

I wanted to solar power my dock and these were the perfect product to light the walk way. They last ALL night after a day of sun and hold their brightness. It has been over one year since my installation and I have not had to change a battery. The colors are soft and work well against the night sky. I installed these dots on our lightless channel markers. Use the Blue. Great look and the safety factor is good Karma!

Greatest thing since sliced bread for our new deck, will see how long batteries last and how much new batteries are when these wear out. Very easy to install, drill a hole and slide them in...the light is beautiful at night and lights up stairs to the deck very nicely...little pricey 4 for 50.00, but look very nice!

I originally commented about how long the LED light would last for. It didn't dawn on me the amount of daylight I would be getting during that specific time of the year. As the time started to change and there was more daylight in the day, I find my lights lasting the entire night. I have received many compliments. easy to install and batteries are replaceable should that day come.
