Adding lighting to your pool allows you to continue using your pool and backyard as the evening encroaches and the sun sets. They can bring a whole new experience to your pool design, add amazing ambiance to the evening and allow the pool to take on an entirely different look. A great addition for entertaining! There are many different ways you can choose to add lighting to your pool, as well as many benefits. Pool Lighting Benefits Enhance Your Pool’s Appearance: First and foremost, adding lights to your pool enhances your pool’s appearance. Lights in or around your pool can create a magical glow that transforms your otherwise plain pool into something peaceful and serene. It highlights and defines your landscaping, enhances pool features (waterfalls, fountains, bubblers and spas) and creates a sparkling effect on the surface of the water at night. Increase Safety: Pool lighting also increases swim safety. Everyone enjoys a dip in the pool at night, especially children. When you own your own pool and have access to night swimming, it’s still important to make sure that swimmers and non-swimmers can clearly see the pool, its elements and the surrounding area. Lighting up the pool area at night enhances contrast and highlights transitions between the pool and decks, walkways, stairs and other hard-to-see places.
