Spa, Garden and Swimming Pool Lighting

Updated on November 21, 2013

Swimming pool lighting, fiber optic displays, subtle garden illuminations and spa lights all add to the experience of your backyard at night.

Now, any spa or pool can be turned into a feature with movie set impact. You can add drama. You can add romance. Or just create the perfect space for relaxation and recharging.

Pool lighting has been revolutionised by the arrival of the underwater LED (light emitting diode) light. SAM lights (colored halogen) are replacing the old white Amerlite lights and bringing new color possibilities for your pool.

With fiber optic pool lighting you can create a Hollywood-style extravaganza or just a great place for a party.

SAM Lights

Spectrum Amerlite Lights (SAM lights) are powerful halogen lights from Pentair that replace the old Amerlite white lights and offer lower power consumption with a full and adjustable color spectrum. A tiny motor in the light turns a wheel with colored lens to create the perfect mood. These can be combined with other SAMs, SALs and fiber optics to produce color shows controlled by Pentair's IntelliTouch systems

SAM lights

About $500 for a twin bulb, 150W, 4000 hour light with 100 feet of cable.

ColorLogic

For pool lighting spectacle, ColorLogic is hard to beat.

Relax, party or just watch in awe as the light show unfolds.

Starting at around $500 for a light, they will fit standard Hayward niches in concrete, gunite, vinyl lined or fiberglass pools. There are 5 fixed colors or 7 color-changing light shows controllable by a wireless remote.

It is worth remembering that LEDs are generally less powerful than SAM lights so you might need more LEDs than SAMs for your pool .

Water Features

Outdoor pools and spas benefit from water features as part of the pool itself or in a surrounding garden.

The big advantage of the LEDs here is that they do not need to be submerged unlike the the LEDs already described. They can be used in shallow water or to light any aspect of a garden or deck.
