Add ambience and texture to a pool by introducing white or coloured swimming pool lights

Unless you’ve actually carried out any research on the subject, it is probable you're not aware of the myriad swimming pool lights which are available. Installing swimming pool lights in your pool adds an ambience and atmospheric effect unlike no other pool accessory.

Pool lighting styles can be soft and subtle at one end of the spectrum to crisp and clean at the other end. However, whichever your preferred lighting arrangement they add a certain lustre to any pool or water environment. Pool lighting is no longer just about visibility; rather, it is all about creating mood.

Pool lighting doesn’t just have to be functional; pool lighting systems can be as functional as you want but they can also be incredibly fun and funky too. Installing pool lighting in a new pool installation is now the norm rather than the exception to the rule, but don't worry if you have an older installation which doesn’t have lighting.

Installing pool lighting isn't as expensive or time consuming as you may imagine, and in many cases the entire install can be completed in a single day. Of course, this depends on the size and complexity of your current swimming pool layout, but by and large a day is usually a pretty good guideline.

Pool lighting is not merely an inspirational addition to a swimming pool. Pool lights can be installed which not only enhance the entire pool area, but also enhance the backdrop and landscaping of the pool area. This could also include the garden if the pool is an outdoor fixture.

LED (light emitting diode) pool lights are becoming a versatile, cheap and easy way of transforming a swimming pool. These types of lights offer subtle lighting to pools and spas, and in addition offer greater flexibility in colour enabling different moods to be evoked. 

As an example orange and yellow tones invoke the impression of warmth whereas green and blue tones suggest cool or even cold water. The choice is entirely that of the owner of the pool, but in general it is better not to have too wide a mix of colours at any one time.

Pool lighting should be set up to emphasize the contours and gradients of a pool and in addition be set up to avoid glare both in and out of the water. There is such a wide variety of pool lighting systems and options, you might spend a long time making that final choice - but better to take time to get it right rather than rushing in to an ill thought out addition to your pool.
