Lighting Areas for Swimming Pool


The main purpose in installing swimming pool lights in the pool area is for safety especially when you want to use the swimming pool at night. On the other hand, swimming pool lights also add ambiance and attraction to the pool area when installed with designs and patterns. In line with this importance that the pool light can bring, the following are the different areas where you can install you pool lights:

Inside the Swimming Pool
This area is the most needed when safety is your priority because as you install pool lights inside the water, you can easily see if there is someone or anything in the pool water. This can greatly help when swimming at night to avoid bumping and other accidents. It is important to have lights in the entire pool especially in the edges and corner of the pool. For more aesthetic, you can use lights with colors (just make sure that the color is bright).

Outside the Swimming Pool
Placing pool lights outside the pool is less about safety (though is also considered on the stone edges) but is more about the beauty and ambiance of the pool area. If you have trees and some shrubs around, enhance it by putting lights around it. Lighted fountains will greatly enhance the magnificence of the area. Walkways should also be lighted for safety and more beauty also. In the pathways, you can also place colorful lights to make the area more attractive and safe.

In the Pool Deck/Wall
Pool lights can also be placed in the pool decks or in the walls. Colorful and bright lights can improve the plain walls and decks at night and can even bring more splendor to the a swimming pool.
