11. Swimming Pool Lights – Types And Uses
from:Swimming pool lights are used to add style to the pools. You can also use them for safety reasons – enabling everyone to see the pool so as to avoid accidents. Underwater swimming pool lights are a particularly interesting addition, as they can create an amazing optical effect during night. Installing these lights is not an expensive or time consuming task if you know how to do it. Many lights are not installed with the original construction but rather added later on, sometimes even by the pool owners themselves.
Just like everything else, swimming pools lights have undergone several changes when it comes to their design. Over the course of a few decades there have been many more models and types of lights that have hit the markets. There is today a wide choice in lights, which operate better and last longer. The vast selection of lights allows users and owners to choose the ones that meet their requirements and needs more. Let’s see some of the most common types of lights for swimming pools.
Setting the mood: These are the most common and popular lights nowadays. Until a few years ago, most of the pools had a typical and basic scheme. There was a regular light which was mounted usually at the end of the pool. Today there is the so called mood lighting which allows the owners to set up a nice ambience using discreet lights. These can go anywhere in the pool depending on the desired effect.
Small and flat lights: These are also very discreet lights which allow users to enhance parts of the pool. They are mostly used in jacuzzis and saunas and they can also be used in areas where the landscape and surroundings allow it; between small rocks for instance.
Fiber optic lights: These are the most modern lights. They were introduced with the advent of fiber optics technology and are considered to be among the best possible options. These lights require no electrical energy, therefore do not need maintenance or replacement often. The light is transferred through a network of glass cables that feature a fiber optics system.
Light boxes: There are some small fiber optics boxes that can be placed close to the pools so as to adjust the underwater or out of the water lights without leaving the water. This is very convenient in case of people who are swimming and want to create different kinds of effects with lights.
Always keep in mind that safety comes first. No matter how nice or romantic some kinds of lights might be, it is important to ensure that you are safe when using them. Remember to place hazard safety signs around cords and ensure that they operate well, so as to avoid electrical accidents.
