If you’ve made the decision to add swimming pool lights to enhance your pool landscaping, the decision making is far from over. Today’s market has a large variety of lighting options from which to choose. You will be able to choose from underwater wall lighting, free floating lighting, clip-on lighting, and a growing number of fiber optic options.

Underwater lighting consists of light fixtures placed underwater either in the floor or walls of the pool. Underwater lights are made with strong and resistant glass and often use halogen or incandescent bulbs. They are offered in different volt and watt options and feature different cord lengths. Some prefer underwater lighting for its exceptional ability to offer a lot of lighting to a pool. Underwater lighting provided by halogen and incandescent bulbs are still the most common on the market.

Fiber optic lighting has become an increasingly popular choice for many as it truly gives a pool extra panache. Fiber optic lights run through a cable that can be placed underwater or surround the pool’s rim. The cable that carries the lighting does not use electricity; rather they are housed in an external component making it a safe option for pool landscaping. Fiber optic lighting offers many unique fluorescent color options and offers the homeowner great versatility. In many cases, fiber optic lighting systems provide your pool with a mini-light show. The versatility of fiber optic lighting, along with its safety around water, has made it an increasingly popular choice.

Several companies also offer free-floating lighting options. Floating swimming pool lights are often battery or solar powered and offer a cheap alternative to underwater lighting, are ready to use immediately and do not need to be installed. While solar powered units won’t provide as bright of light as battery powered ones, they don’t run on batteries and therefore may prove less expensive in the long run. Regardless of which option you choose, adding swimming pool lights is sure to enhance your back yard experience.
