There are several ways to proceed. There is something for everyone, to satisfy all desires and in the context of all budgets. Essentially, there are two major families of lighting dedicated to the pool: indoor lighting and outdoor lighting.

The different possibilities of pool lighting

As part of an interior lighting, the concept is to illuminate the pool so that the pool is bathed in the light at dusk. A submerged pool spot is used for this purpose, including a floodlight, a pool lamp and various LED pool bulbs. It is also possible to use an optical fiber that opens the possibility to a custom lighting system . There is also a floating pool lamp on the market, which will avoid using electrical connections.

In the case of outdoor lighting, the lighting will be placed around the pool. Spotlights or spotlights can do the trick.

Different types of lighting are proposed to give more effects and colors to the pool . The possibility is opened through a pool projector, installed for indoor lighting. Installed in a not very immersed way, the floating swimming pool light can give an original and magnificent rendering to a swimming pool.

If, on the other hand, you opt for an outdoor lighting system, the spotlights to be placed around the pool can also be in different colors. There are lighting systems with lights that change color automatically. It is also possible to combine both systems, both illuminate underwater and on the beach.

Many ways are available to you to sublimate your pool, through several colors by color projectors or with a monochrome style.

How to install your lighting system?

The pool light is ideal to bring originality and aesthetics to your pool. However, we must not neglect the security side. Thus, it is necessary to arrange a 100% secure installation . To do this, we must be particularly vigilant about the electrical system. Attention must be paid to the installation of the transformer at the electrical box of the technical room, burial cables in the ground, and the installation of spots in the basin. In addition, your pond lighting must meet the standard C 15–100 section 702 prescribed by the Technical Union of Electricity , which regulates the electrical installations of pools, pools, footbaths, and areas around them.

To install the system, it is necessary to place the projectors on average at 70 cm from the surface of the water , in order to target the swimming pool to be illuminated without dazzling the people inside or around. The entire basin must be visible, to reduce the risk of accidents through the lighting of the entire bathing area. It should also be noted that if you opt for indoor lighting, through a pool projector, the installation of the lighting system must be studied before the construction of the pool.
