Today we are going to talk about how to light your pool. Although having a good lighting in our pool seems an easy task, you have to know which spotlight is the right one depending on the size and depth of the pool.
Therefore, from Llaberia Hydraulic Shop, we are going to offer you a guide on how to illuminate your pool, types of spotlights and how to use them.
The first thing you should know is that a spotlight is usually required for every 20m2 of water surface.
The height of the spotlights is usually 70cm from the top of the pool. At this height they will properly illuminate the interior of the pool; moreover, they will always be accessible from outside the pool and it will not be necessary to empty the pool to access them.
Pool light placement
If we have our pool very close to our house, it is advisable to place the lights in the opposite direction to the house. So as not to be dazzled.
On the other hand, if our swimming pool has a Roman staircase, we will have to place the lights in the opposite zone to it so that it does not make shade and the swimming pool is illuminated correctly.
Finally, if we want to illuminate a competition pool, the best illumination will be installing the spotlights on the sides for a homogeneous illumination.
Outside lights
- Pavement lights: they illuminate the pool without being inside it.
- Removable spotlights
- Floating lighting
- Architectural lighting: on facades and other architectural elements.
So now you know! Take a look at our website and get the lights that best suit what you are looking for.
