At its most basic, lighting is necessary to make your pool area safe when the sun goes down. But why stick to just basic? A well-designed lighting plan is more than illuminating — it’s inspired! Your local builder can help you choose the right lighting styles and colors to create a mood and showcase your entire poolscape design.
Inspired pool lighting can extend your poolside entertaining well into the evening. By using a combination of low-profile lights around the pool’s perimeter and colorful underwater and fiber optic lights in the pool, you can provide subtle poolside illumination for minglers and a dynamic display for swimmers. Here are some ideas for how you can light up your poolscape:
Low-profile Lights
Low-profile lights can accent paths and walkways while providing muted accent lighting.
Spotlights and Floodlights
Spotlights can be used to draw attention to specific pool, landscape or patio features. Floodlights are used for general lighting around common areas. Motion floodlights can be added for safety.
Up-lighting
Up-lights highlight landscape or pool features from below.
Underwater Lighting
Underwater lights make night swimming safe and can create a colorful pool environment. Fiber optic lights add colorful, whimsical drama to your pool area.
