Lighting adds a fun element to any pool environment. Individuals have a wealth of options from which to choose and to accommodate any budget. Lighting can be incorporated into the pool build itself, but if pool owners overlooked this feature during the original pool installation, there are multiple alternatives that are equally attractive and fun.
Pool lights add aesthetic interest and character to swimming pools, but the illumination can also provide an added level of safety at night to highlight the location of pool edges, stairs and the bottom of the pool. Lighting makes the pool infinitely more useable during nighttime hours.
Floating
An extensive range of floating lights are available. They set on top of the water and they’re available in multiple colors. Some models have a pump included that will create a mini spray fountain. Another popular floating light has the ability to connect to phones via Bluetooth to play music.
Depending on the manufacturer, floating lights feature solar or USB capabilities for recharging. The lights are offered in multiple sizes to accommodate pools of any configuration. They come with features that can include a wireless remote control.
Pool owners don’t have to settle for “flat” lights. There are also orbs that are essentially floating balls of colored light that can be set to multiple modes and transitions such as fading, flashing, and blinking. They’re fun for adults and especially so for children of all ages.
Individuals can choose models that look like elegant floating lotus blossoms or sea life such as turtles, starfish and jellyfish, while pumpkin-shaped lights are perfect for Halloween. One brand of floating lights projects silhouettes of fish and even a shark on the pool floor and walls. As the water moves, the projections appear as if they’re swimming. It’s easy for kids to imagine they’re in an aquarium or deep-sea diving.
Submersible
This type of pool lighting uses weights, magnets or suction cups to hold them in the desired position on the bottom or sides of the pool. Many offer the same features as floating lights encompassing the ability to play music, be controlled remotely, and change colors.
Pool Toys
The fascination with light up pool toys isn’t limited to youngsters. Individuals can select from among giant pool toys encompassing swans and sharks to peacocks and unicorns. There are also inflatable balls that light up for a game of aquatic beach ball, along with light up goals for water-based basketball. Glow-in-the-dark game sets for a game of Sharks and Minnows are great for younger children, as are light up toys in various animal shapes for any number of traditional game variations.
