We want to install low voltage lighting every 25' on each side of a 500' marina dock. Is this feasible?

It is possible to install low voltage lighting on a project that big.  However, you will need several LOW VOLTAGE TRANSFORMERS to maintain your light levels and voltage over that kind of distance. 

I would suggest using a transformer with a FIBERGLASS HOUSING and high out taps for your application. Since you did not specify what wattage you have in mind it is difficult for me to help your engineer a formal design.   

Depending on the design of your dock, you have several options.  One is the use of BRASS BUTTON LIGHTS mounted to the pilings which cast a soft, glare free pattern of light.  How much area they cover depends on the mounting height. 

Another idea would entail the use of COPPER DECORATIVE POST TOP LIGHT FIXTURES. These handsome copper lights have a rich look and provide a very pleasant light pattern.

Feel free to send me a drawing and I will lay out several designs for you at no obligation.  I have done several docks and would love to help you with this one. infor@rlldesign.com
