The bumper member is secured to an edge of a dock. The channel is exposed to receive a lighting system. The lighting system mounts in a flush within the channel ensuring that the lighting system is prevented from damage. The illuminated dock bumper system includes a control unit operatively connecting the lighting system. The control unit is operated either manually, or remotely via an electronic device. The control unit allows an operator to adjust colors and brightness of the lighting system. The illuminated dock bumper system allows the operator to locate the edge of the dock at night or in low-light conditions using illumination provided by the lighting system. The bumper member offers impact protection for both vehicles and the dock.
