What Are Pool Lighting Systems?

Pool lighting systems refer to specialized lights installed in or around swimming pools to enhance safety, ambiance, and design—especially important in a region like Lafayette, where outdoor spaces are used year-round. These systems typically focus on underwater lighting and deck-level illumination near the pool.
Whether you’re looking for mood-enhancing swimming pool lighting or practical solutions to illuminate your deck, the right lighting system makes all the difference.
Types of Pool Lighting
1. Underwater Pool Lighting
Installed directly in the pool walls or returns, underwater lights make night swimming both safe and stunning.
- LED Lighting – Energy-efficient, long-lasting, and available in color-changing or white options.
- Halogen Lighting – Traditional option with warm tones, though less efficient than LED.
- Fiber Optic Lighting – Less common today, but still used for dramatic effects.
If you’re building or upgrading, we offer pool lighting installation that ensures long-term reliability and beauty.
