Options In Swimming Pool Lights
By Linda Rogers

For safety reasons, it's important to keep a pool area well lit. When it comes to swimming pool lights, what options are available? As a matter of fact, pool owners can choose from several types of swimming pool lights on the market. Here are some examples:

Underwater Swimming Pool Lights

Pool owners can choose to have underwater swimming pool lights installed as part of the construction process. This is a more expensive choice than some other options but if you are looking for a bright light in a maintenance-free package, this may be the option for you.

When using underwater swimming pool lights, it is possible to have different colors and have a light show in the pool after dark. Pool owners can choose from a plastic or a stainless steel face rim.

Above-Ground Swimming Pool Lights

People who own above-ground swimming pools can purchase lights in order to enjoy their pool after dark. It is possible to purchase a pool light with a timer to shut the lights off after a certain amount of time. Colored lights are also available with this type of lighting.

Submersible Lights

Yet another option in the realm of swimming pool lights is the submersible version. Fashioned from sturdy polymer, this is also a good choice for a pond or a fountain. Check the packaging before you buy to ensure that the light you choose will not harm aquatic life.

Floating Swimming Pool Lights

For an environmentally-friendly choice, toss a few solar-powered swimming pool lights into the water. As they float in the water during the day, they will collect and store energy in their rechargeable batteries.

At dusk, the lights will come on automatically. At dawn, they will shut off again. Some models of floating lights change color as they float. Imagine enjoying your pool at night while the lights change from purple to blue, green to red, and blue to orange!

Another manufacturer of floating swimming pool lights offers a disco ball that floats on top of the water. This a battery-operated device that puts on a light show for swimmers under the water.

The pool owner can choose whether he or she wants to have all lights flashing randomly, certain lights flashing randomly, all the lights flashing together, or all lights on continuously.

By adding some type of lighting to your pool area, you will be able to enjoy the water day and night!
