Incandescent Lights as one of the affordable choices
Known as the light used by many, especially in residential buildings, incandescent light are also perfect for swimming pools with more a traditional-themed vibe. Though the light gives the area a spooky and murky look, this is one of the more affordable options when it comes to pool lighting because of its cheap installation, parts, and maintenance.

Though this will cost you more compared to incandescent lights, LED lights are more energy efficient. Try the prismatic choices of colours available and experience luxurious nighttime swimming and impressive aesthetic appeal.

Majestic as the Night Sky: Fiber Optic Lighting
Fibre Optic lighting is the transmission of light pulses through a glass or plastic strand. The light that transmits through the hole of the fibre makes the pool look like a sky full of stars. Try fibre optic lighting in your pool and experience enchanting and majestic swimming.

Consider the area around the pool
Underwater lighting is important, but so is the safety and wellbeing of users around it. It's okay to focus on the underwater lighting first, but take note that the background and pathways also need some lighting to avoid accidents. There is no need to put bright lights, just soft lighting to make the area easy to cross.

Solar Lighting
Solar lights don't consume too much electricity because of its ability to recharge underwater during the day. This light helps enhance and define architectural elements, providing noteworthy shadows and focal points.
