LED Pool Lighting

Written by Posted On Wednesday, 13 March 2019 14:06

Why should you use LEDs to light your swimming pool? LED lighting has completely changed the face of pool lightning perhaps because of the many benefits that come with it. This latest technology in standard pool lighting design is becoming popular lately for many reasons among them the modern emphasis on energy-efficient electronics and green appliances. Incandescent lights have for a long time been used in pools but they are slowly being replaced by LED technology which is an extremely efficient mode of lighting. While incandescent bulbs normally run from 300 to 500 watts, LEDs only use as little as 42 watts. Here are some of the benefits of LED pool lighting.

LED Pool Lighting - Three Advantages

 

Enhances Pool Aesthetics

LED lights are ideal for night swimming especially during the shorter winter days when it tends to get dark much earlier. These lights are available in a variety of colors as well as multiple changing light patterns. This allows you to set the mood for right about anything. For instance, you can install a color changing theme for a dance or a relaxing evening or any other style you desire. LED pool lighting provides a high-definition lighting that lasts which is why this technology is fast becoming popular for pools and spas. LED lighting has a stunning visual appeal with numerous light options ranging from blue, white, green, red and magenta. These lights can be pre-programmed to enhance the desired effect e.g a slow, soothing, fast or energetic light show.

 

Cost-effective

LED pool lighting systems also saves you a lot money since they use less electricity which will eventually help you save on energy bills. LED bulbs use less energy and also last longer which means that the cost of these bulbs will be gained back over time. However, owing to the popularity of this lighting technology, the cost of LED bulbs has significantly gone down. Most LED bulbs can last 6 times longer than incandescent bulbs of equal brightness. Besides LEDs are also eco-friendly since unlike incandescent bulbs that require heat to light the filament, LED lights almost require no heat since for them to operate, electrons move through semiconductor material.

 

Last Longer

Incandescent light bulbs can last for 2,000 hours but LEDs can last much longer than this. Initially, LED pool lighting received negative reviews because if one LED failed, the rest would stop working but LED technology has advanced with new LED pool lighting systems that continue working even when one LED has burned out.

 

The economy and aesthetics of LED pool lighting makes it a pretty tempting upgrade that also promotes safety for swimmers in and out of the pool. LED pool lights have a higher frequency allowing people to see more clearly compared to incandescent light. The days of old school pool lighting are over since you can now switch to more eco-friendly and energy efficient LED lighting systems that will not only save you money but will also enhance the look of your swimming pool. External LED illumination can also be a perfect addition to your pool’s landscaping because even if your pool is well lit and the yard is dark, swimmers might have problems finding their way around the pool.
