THE TOP 10 MISTAKES NOT TO MAKE WHEN CHOOSING YOUR SWIMMING POOL LIGHTING

 

How many of you have fantasised about having the ideal pool lighting, the kind that creates the most stunning pools?

It takes skill to integrate underwater projectors! Similar to photography, light is crucial. It is the key to finding those happy spots. The pool lighting must go by a few fundamental rules in order for your installation to be successful, both for security and aesthetics. Instead of giving you guidance, we will share the traps to watch out for with you! Let's begin!

 

1. Not contacting a specialist


Although it is easy to discover useful instructions for installing lights online, hiring a professional is still a good idea! The two substances that need for the most safety measures are water and electricity. The lights can only be installed by qualified individuals, ensuring your safety. Do not disregard this safety component.

 

2. Deciding on pool lighting that is not compliant with laws


The second important safety factor is equipment selection. If the product is of low quality, electrocution risk exists even with a properly built electrical system. Lighting for swimming pools must adhere to established standards (IP67 and IP68). Make sure to get products that have been duly verified (see more on how to choose high-end lighting).

 

3. Forgetting to include LED lighting when constructing the pool.

Imagine a pool without lights at night. It's simply not feasible! Ideally, your pool won't be finished by the time you read this essay. Now is the time to consider the lighting for the pool. The submerged swimming pool lights can be integrated into the building for a stunning visual effect.

 

If your pool is already built, you may rest easy knowing that there are options. We advise you to speak with a specialist to learn more about your alternatives.

 

4. Having too many lights in your pool would be an issue.


On paper, a swimming pool lighted by 1,000 spotlights sounds like a great concept. In actuality, the outcome can be unsatisfactory. It is advisable to select a suitable floodlight in addition to the difficulty of the task. The golden guideline for swimming pools is to use the fewest possible lights to create the most stunning pool outlines.

 

5. Positioning the pool lighting incorrectly


Near the water's surface, at mid-height, is where pool lights should be positioned. This will make it simpler to switch out the lighting fixtures for practical reasons. You will get the greatest results from this position in the building, rendering well-lit outlines and emphasising depth.

 

6. Adding energy-intensive lighting


Why work harder when you can work harder? As efficient as their halogen ancestors (and much more so), LED lights provide cutting-edge technology. They gain from less energy being used and a lifespan of up to 40,000 hours! Installing LED lighting is both economical and environmentally friendly.

 

7. Using a light that is too white


Picking the right type of lighting is essential whether you're drinking fruit juice or going for a peaceful nighttime swim. Consider illuminating the pool with a warm or neutral white. You'll create a more cosy and welcoming atmosphere for your family and special occasions.

 

8. Inadequately specifying the lighting intensity


Selecting a particular model will depend on where the submerged lights will be installed. Consider a powerful 67.5 W type projector to illuminate the length. There are 17.5 W and 7.5 W lights to illuminate the width or the integrated steps.

 

9. Poor outdoor lighting


You do not need to add additional lights directly around the pool if it is already properly lighted. We advise building a bright walk to your swimming pool because it is both fashionable and practical. The best lighting for creating an outdoor mood are recessed lights.

 

10. Avoiding self-indulgence


It's already done... We'll end by mentioning something that is all too frequently overlooked when working: the idea of enjoyment. What good is it to work if we don't contribute? Absence from the project is the worst mistake you could make. Maintaining your fair amount of enjoyment in the work is crucial if pool lighting must adhere to specific safety and aesthetic criteria.
This is the principle that should be followed throughout your entire construction. This will direct you to the swimming pool of your dreams, one that is just like you.
