The dock bumper incorporates a clear, transparent lens which allows a light emitting diode (LED) rope light to shine through, and it incorporates a support member to hold the LED rope light in place. The dock bumper of the present disclosure makes it much safer to dock a boat in poor light conditions (night, fog etc.). The dock bumper of the present disclosure may also be used to protect vehicles such as water vehicles, land vehicles and air vehicles, from damage when hitting a hard surface.
