Touchstone H2 Cleat Light and Updated Dock and Pier Lights
Touchstone is well known in outdoor and landscape lighting and so it’s no surprise they have a dock light that incorporates a cleat to make your backyard dock the envy of the neighborhood. The H2 cleat light is designed to fit under a standard 10” throughbolted dock cleat to light up your slip and put an end to nighttime toe stubbing.
There are two versions of the H2 cleat light – solar and 12V. The H2-S14 solar light comes on automatically at dusk and provides 8-12 hours of illumination. It’s easy to install as it requires no wires, and its sealed acrylic lens has 14 LEDs with a 30,000 hour life and a 5 year warranty. If used with the cleat, a question with the solar version is how well it will charge when a line is tied to the cleat and possibly obscuring the photo cell.
The energy efficient H2 12V20 operates in shaded areas, regardless of weather conditions with the user controlling the on/off time for consistent operation. The acrylic lens has 20 LEDs with a 50,000 hour life and an 8 year warranty.
Both lights are roughly 12” long x 3.5” wide x 2” high, are maintenance-free and should be mounted 8-12 feet apart. The single piece, rugged aluminum uni-body design comes with two stainless steel mounting screws although the cleat is optional. Both of the lights can be installed horizontally or vertically.
The two cleat versions sell for $80-$90. You can also buy a non-cleat sleek dock version for around $40. For more information visit www.touchstonelights.com.
