The swimming pool contractors from Tipton Pools in Knoxville, Tennessee understand that swimming pool lighting for safety and aesthetics is an important consideration when planning your pool project. If you’re someone who swims a lot at night and if you throw parties once the sun goes down, you will definitely want to consider adding swimming pool lighting to make it safer for you and for everyone when you swim after dark.
Swimming pool owners who have pools with “deep ends” especially need to look at in pool lighting to help light up the darkest depths of the pool — this is important even if you swim in the daylight hours if the pool has a deep end.
Swimming pool lighting for safety and aesthetics
Here are in-pool lighting considerations whether you’re having a new pool constructed or are in the midst of a pool renovation
- Factor in the cost of pool lighting when putting your pool construction project together. Also, add in the additional cost of utilities when you’re using pool lights. LED lighting is cost effective and the bulbs can go for decades without being changed. You can opt for floating solar powered lights, but that won’t help light up the depths of the pool if you’re swimming at night. Fiber optic lighting offers a gentle glow that lights the entire pool. Fiber optic lighting will not last as long as LED bulbs and will require more frequent maintenance.
- Look for lighting you can operate with a remote controlled device. You may also look into lighting that offers up different color options to set the mood and enhance the party atmosphere!
- Safety is one of the most important reasons to have swimming pool lights installed in the pool. Your pool lighting will also offer a glow that enhances the lighting of your outdoor living space. Pool lights are functional and aesthetically pleasing.
