Outdoor Pier Lights - Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a post light and a pier light?
Outdoor pier lights are designed to mount directly onto flat surfaces like pier pilings or deck posts, often with a square or round base. Post lights, conversely, are typically mounted on top of a vertical pole or post, usually 3 to 8 feet tall, and illuminate a wider area. Pier lights are generally more compact fixtures.
Do pillar lights attract bugs?
Pillar lights can attract bugs, especially those emitting significant amounts of UV light or operating at higher color temperatures. Insects are drawn to shorter wavelengths of light. Using outdoor pier lights with warmer color temperatures, around 2700K to 3000K, or amber LEDs, can significantly reduce insect attraction. These lights emit less UV radiation.
What is a pier light?
A pier light is an outdoor lighting fixture designed to be mounted on top of a pier, post, or column, often illuminating docks, decks, or pathways. These lights typically feature durable, weather-resistant materials like marine-grade aluminum or brass and are rated for wet locations, such as IP65. They provide both safety and aesthetic appeal in marine or waterside environments.
