You’ll need some pool lighting ideas if you’re planning on building a new pool to complete your backyard, or if you want to refresh and update an existing pool area.

There are a lot more options nowadays for pool light ideas that go beyond the standard submerged pool lights. It’s a matter of beautifully and thoughtfully illuminating the surrounding pool area as well, so is an integral decision when planning your pool ideas.

'Outdoor lighting ideas are an integral part of enjoying any outdoor living space and should not allowed to go without serious thought,' says Michael Deo, certified outdoor lighting designer (COLD) and owner of NatureScape Lighting in Millington, New Jersey.

'The overall enjoyment of the space is the reason we install swimming pools to begin with, and often, folks don’t get to use them until well after the sun sets,' he adds.

From path illumination to spotlighting the most aesthetically-pleasing surrounding pool landscaping ideas, these pool lighting ideas will inspire and inform your vision.

1. Brighten up the pool deck or patio

While it’s certainly helpful to light the pool itself, it’s equally wise to illuminate the surrounding pool area, deck or patio, something that will let you see your backyard at night in all its glory. 

This effect will create 'an illuminated border outside the swimming pool,' explains Michael Deo, which can make it the centerpiece of your outdoor space. It also will give you 'a safe pedestrian zone,' he adds, ideal for guests, who will benefit from your pool lighting ideas.

2.

Try uplighting and downlighting

If you want to give the outdoor features that surround your pool the attention they deserve, consider a mix of uplighting and downlighting. While uplighting as a pool light idea can illuminate branches and plants from the ground up, installed downlighting additionally creates a natural look and covers more surface area. 

Kirk Bianchi, pool and landscape designer at Scottsdale, Arizona’s Bianchi Design , and his consultant Janet Lennox Moyer , lighting designer and author of new book The Art of Landscape Lighting , believe that pool lighting ideas allow us to reconnect with our garden spaces, permitting us to enjoy outdoor living at the prime hours when we are at home relaxing.

Downlights can shine from a tree or an eave of your home, Kirk and Janet explain. 

3. Light adjacent structures

When devising pool lighting ideas, don’t just stick to the pool – surrounding structures should not be overlooked.  

'Plan to light adjacent structures, such as pergolas, arbors, and other shade structures, including umbrellas,' says Michael Deo of NatureScape Lighting. 'These spaces provide shade during the daylight hours but may become too dark to enjoy after hours.' 

Consider also lighting a pool house, or other garden building located close to the pool area.

Whether these lights are structure-mounted or hanging, such as an outdoor chandelier, dimmable lighting can make all the difference, adds Michael.

4. Think vertically 

(Image credit: Bianchi Design/George Gruel)

Pool light ideas involve a lot more than simply lighting walkways around the pool. There is also an opportunity to be visual and intentional with your choices, making your backyard look its very best. 

One way to accomplish this approach is by illuminating any vertical surfaces by your pool.  'People see vertical surfaces first within a space,' explain Kirk Bianchi and Janet Lenox Moyer. This means that walls, trees, sculptures, and other background elements need to be lit to fully create a sense of setting around your pool.

5. Highlight plants after dark

While your plants alongside your pool may look stunning in the daylight, they should take center stage at night time, too. 

Michael Deo advises planting colorful plants that look their best during the season when you’ll be using the pool. 'Then, use accent lighting fixtures to minimize glare and highlight your favorite plants after dark,' he says.

6. Use the pool as a mirror

Your pool acts as a natural mirror, something that you can use to your advantage in pool lighting ideas. 

'When designing the pool and the yard, ultimately to be enjoyed at night, be sure that there are elements worthy of being lit and reflected in the pool,' explain Kirk Bianchi and Janet Lenox Moyer. This can include the illuminated outline of a nearby pergola, lanterns that line the pool’s edge, or cascading, twinkling lights that hang overhead. 

7. Consider lanterns, torches, or fire features

Outdoor lighting can tend to focus on LED lighting, but you can always choose to think outside the and incorporate lighting throughout your pool patio ideas. Lanterns showcasing candles, tiki torches, or your outdoor fireplace ideas can double as sources of light.

Michael Deo has a penchant for using professional copper or brass tiki torches in pool areas. These fixtures can be combined with LED lighting, illuminating the patio or garden area below with an oil-burning canister and helping to provide insect control along with warm ambiance.

8. Include path lighting

Path lighting isn’t just pleasing to the eye – it is also necessary when it comes to pool lighting ideas.  

'Path lighting is important and should first be accomplished by overhead sources illuminating the adjacent planter beds and indirectly lighting the path by spillover,' advise Kirk Bianchi and Janet Lenox Moyer of their preferred method of lighting up pool pathways. 

'Only when there is no overhead opportunity should path light fixtures or wall fixtures be enlisted, and they must be shielded carefully to avoid glare,' they add. 

9. Make it safe

In addition to turning to pool lighting ideas for added safety in your outdoor space, by illuminating pathways and walking areas, you need to think about the safety of the lights themselves. 

'First, you should ensure that any low voltage landscape lighting is located outside of the zone deemed safe by your local inspector,' lighting designer Michael Deo emphasizes. 

Some inspectors use five feet away from the pool as a standard, while others enforce 'the 10-foot rule. Check with your local jurisdiction,' the lighting designer adds.

10. Highlight three-dimensional features 

(Image credit: NatureScape Lighting)

When you have a feature near your pool, such as a striking tree or sculpture, it’s best to use more light fixtures and a lower wattage – a combination that effectively reveals 'the three-dimensional character' of an object, advise Kirk Bianchi and Janet Lenox Moyer.

This mix will prevent bright, glaring spots while still attracting attention to certain features you may wish to highlight with the pool light ideas.

How do I light my pool area? 

To light your pool area, always use the services of a pool professional. This is especially so when the pool lighting ideas involve any underwater lighting, since this is considered to be 'human bathing,' advises Michael Deo, and so the lighting will be properly rated for this use and inspected for compliance and safety after it has been professionally installed.

'Plan early with pool light ideas,' Michael adds. 'If working with a professional, discuss lighting at the start of the project. Even if the lighting is not going to be installed right away, it should be planned for so you’re not "locked out" of critical areas,' he explains.

Can I add lights to an existing pool?

To add lights to an existing pool in a backyard, there needs to be a planned remodel underway, 'where the deck, or other surrounding landscaping is already being removed in the scope of work,' advise Kirk Bianchi and Janet Lenox Moyer.

If a pool remodel isn’t an option, however, then consider getting creative with other outdoor garden lighting ideas, such as solar-powered pathway lights, outdoor pendant lights, hanging string lights, and tiki torches.

How many lights should a pool have? 

There are no set requirements as to how many lights a pool should have to adequately light the area and it is a matter of personal preference. While some people may prefer low lighting around their pool so they can see the stars, others may want enough ambient light to execute their best pool party ideas well into the evening. 

In their work, Kirk Bianchi and Janet Lenox Moyer will, depending on the length of the pool, place lights about eight feet – centered to the pool – along the house side of the pool, aiming them away from the viewer. 'In this way, you won’t be staring directly at harsh lights at night,' they advise.

10 Great Ways To Light A Swimming Pool This Summer!!

If you own a swimming pool, you’re halfway to having a luxury resort in your own back yard. How do you get the rest of the way? By lighting your pool area so it becomes a magical place at night.

At Landscape Lighting Pro of Utah, our expertise is creating a resort-like setting around your pool, so you feel like you’re on vacation, without even leaving home.

Another goal is to light a swimming pool and surrounding area so it looks beautiful from inside your home. With the right lighting you can enjoy its beauty even when you’re not inclined to take a dip.

And, of course, safety is a top concern. Pools are a lot of fun at night, but you only want to end up in the water intentionally. Let’s eliminate the trip-and-splash.

How do we do all that? Let’s take a look.

Pool Lighting Idea #1: Pool Deck Lighting

 

Chances are, there’s a lot of activity around your pool. In-ground lights, as opposed to above-ground directional lights, are a great idea to light the way. No worries about the lights getting bumped, damaged, or tripping your active guests.

You say your pool decking is concrete? How can we sink lights into it? Because we’re experts. We can drill 5-inch concrete cores out of that decking to install the fixtures to light surounding trees.

It’s a tricky job, but our lighting experts are part artist, part skilled technician. And we have the tools to do the job. It takes a $5,000 drill, a diamond bit and skilled expertise.

Pool Lighting Idea #2: Moonlighting

Illuminating a pool deck from above, with lights mounted in trees or on roof gables, gives the illusion of moonlight. And who doesn’t love a moonlight swim?

If mature trees surround your pool, we install lights in the branches overhead to mimic natural moonlight. This creates intriguing shadows from branches and leaves onto the pool area.  

No trees? No problem. We can create a similar effect by mounting lights high on your home’s soffits or gables.

Pool Lighting Idea #3: High-End Tiki Torches

Love the look of tiki torches but not the poor quality you get at the discount store?

Consider professional grade tiki lights that offer, not only a festive flame, but wired-in lighting, too. Professional grade tiki lights are crafted of high-quality brass and copper and are hard-wired into your landscape.

Fill them with oil and use the wick for an authentic torch flame, or switch on the lights for illumination from a bulb. They’re available in assorted heights, from three to eight feet tall. Hawaiian shirt optional.

Pool Lighting Idea #4: Highlighting Trees And Plants

At Landscape Lighting Pro of Utah, we’re experts at this.The best way to create that resort feel is to surround your pool area with lush landscaping and light it at night.

Worried that your start-up landscape is too small to light?

We know how to softly highlight that 3-foot Japanese maple with a soft 150 or 200 lumen bulb without overwhelming the tree’s delicate beauty.

As the tree grows, we can simply change the light bulb without changing the fixture. We adjust the lighting as your landscape grows.

If your pool area is surrounded by mature trees, that majestic maple might need two or three fixtures to artistically light it, one with a narrow beam spread to penetrate high in the tree and another with a wider beam spread to softly accentuate the leaves and branches.

We design with 30 different types of light bulbs — not just one — to expertly highlight your pool’s landscaping.

Flower beds surrounding your pool look magical at night, with 2-to-4 watt LED lights nestled into the bark mulch.

If there are tall perennials growing in the beds, we’ll use bullet lights with directional uplighting to gain a bit of elevation. You’ll see the light — not the fixtures.

Pool Lighting Idea #5: Water Features

If your pool includes a water feature, like a waterfall, it deserves its own lighting strategy.

We might light a waterfall from underneath, so the light dances off the water. A wash light from the edge of the pool or from a tall tree nearby creates a soft flood of light.

Aiming light where the water hits the surface of the pool catches the air bubbles and highlights the movement.

Pool Lighting Idea #6: Lighting Structures

Don’t ignore the structures near your pool. Lighting them makes them part of the resort atmosphere.

Do you have a pergola in your pool area? It’s probably your go-to place for a cool drink and some shade after a daytime dip in the pool.

But pergolas offer their own magic when illuminated at night. Imagine subtle recessed lighting that illuminates your table for dining and hosting barbecues. We can hide all the wiring and fixtures, so all you see is the soft wash of light.

Uplights attached to the bottom of pergola posts or installed in the flooring highlight the structure’s architecture.

And for a festive party atmosphere, add some trendy bistro lighting, with strings of lights overhead.

Is there an outdoor kitchen near your pool? There’s a host of lighting options here, including grill lighting, bistro lighting, lighting for countertops and moonlighting from high above.

If your pool-area structures already have lighting — maybe a cabana with sconces — we have the expertise to match the existing light’s color temperature, so all the lighting blends nicely.

Pool Lighting Idea #7: Undercap Lights

One of the lighting rules we live by: you want to see the effect of the light —not the source.

Undercap lights are a great example of this. These subtle fixtures are designed to be hidden, casting light downward.

Does your pool area include a sitting wall? A fire pit with benches?  Undercap lighting will wash down the wall to highlight its texture. Undercap lighting tucked beneath your fire pit benches offers safe illumination without glare.

 

Pool Lighting Idea #8: Stair Tread Lights

Pool areas often include steps to decks or patios. Don’t forget to light them for safety.

A great solution is to install lighting into the vertical part of a stair, called the riser.

Tread lights fit right into the stairs and focus light downward onto the step immediately below it. They offer enough light for safety, but the light is subtle enough that it isn’t distracting.

Because the fixture itself is set into the step, it’s barely noticeable in the light of day. Even at night, you notice the steps and the soft light, not the fixture.

Pool Lighting Idea #9: Don’t Forget The Dimmers

All of your pool area lighting is available with an automated, fully dimmable option that can be controlled with your preferred smart device. From pergola bistro lighting to downlighting, you can dim your lights as much or as little as you need to create the perfect poolside ambiance.

Dimming those lights will keep you from feeling like you’re dining under a spotlight and allows your pool area lighting to complement candles and outdoor fireplaces.

 

Pool Lighting Idea #10: The Ease Of LEDs

When you have a beautiful swimming pool, you want to spend your time enjoying it — not worrying about landscape lighting maintenance.

That means long-lasting, easy-care LED lighting.

Landscape Lighting Pro of Utah recommends replacing halogen bulbs once a year. With LEDs, we replace them only when they fail. That won’t be for about 50,000 hours.

If you replace your pool area’s halogen lighting system with an LED system, or install one from scratch, you won’t have to worry about bulb replacement for years.

So pour yourself another lemonade and relax.

 

A Word About Glare

A relaxing evening by the pool is ruined if you’re staring into the glare of landscape lighting. We’re anti-glare experts.

We use LED landscape lighting with bulbs that produce warm white light. We select bulb types and wattages that provide the amount of light needed, with no excess.

We choose fixtures that direct light exactly where it needs to go. We use glare shields and “eyelids” — solid caps above the bulbs that concentrate light where you want it.

Less light can be more. It’s all about where you place the fixtures, their angle, the color and temperature of the light.

photos ideas, norms, types of lamps used

The development of technology has led to a significant reduction in the cost of the procedure for manufacturing artificial reservoirs. Thanks to this, everyone can afford their own swimming pool in the yard, in the backyard or on the territory of sports and recreation complexes.

The operation of such objects can be carried out not only in the daytime, but also after dark, which is associated with a certain danger for bathers. Therefore, the organization of pool lighting is carried out in strict accordance with the requirements of regulatory documents.

Requirements and standards

In view of the fact that the lighting equipment is powered by the mains, and the water used to fill the pool is a conductor of electric current, their combined use causes a number of dangerous factors for humans.

To protect everyone's favorite bathing procedure, lighting in artificial reservoirs must meet the following requirements:

In addition, SNiP II-4-79 "Natural and artificial lighting" regulates the following indicators for the illumination of water bodies.

Pool built by ALLPOOLS

Table: Dependence of lighting parameters on the purpose of the pool

An object Horizontal illumination, lx Combined indicator of discomfort UGR, no more Ripple factor (flicker effect)
Sports and fitness pools 100-150, at water level 24 20%
Pools in baths, saunas, private 100, floor level — Not standardized
Shower rooms 75, floor level — Not standardized

cause a deterioration in well-being among visitors to recreational or swimming pools, which in the future can lead to disastrous consequences. For to ensure sufficient and comfortable visibility, various types of lighting or a combination of several at once.

Type of lighting

All lighting devices are conditionally divided into outdoor and underwater lighting devices.

Depending on the tasks to be solved, pool lighting is subdivided into:

General lighting Local lighting Contour lighting Decorative lighting

Types of luminaires used

use different types of lamps. Each type has its own features of installation and operation, so consider each of them more in detail.

Spotlights

Spotlights

Can be used as wall lights, for local lighting or general lighting for mass installation according to the perimeter of the pool or at the bottom. Structurally, they are analogues of spotlights, for underwater searchlights, sealed models are used, and for external lighting you can install classic lamps.

According to the type of location, spot lighting devices are divided into built-in and overhead. Built-in are installed in a special recess or niche on the wall of the pool or in the edge. For them, holes are pre-developed according to the dimensions of the lighting devices, and the wiring is laid so that the lamp is flush. Overhead lamps are located directly on the wall of the bowl and protrude beyond its borders.

Recessed and surface-mounted luminaires

Spotlights for general lighting with deeper to the bottom so that they shine through the entire water column, some can be placed at the bottom. They are placed at an equal distance from each other, on opposite sides they are installed staggered to cover a large area.

If the pool is not deep, spotlights can be placed closer to the surface of the water, but they must be completely dive even with a minimum amount of liquid. Otherwise they will shine directly into the eyes of the bathers.

An example of the location of spotlights

LED strips

LED strips are a flexible structure with semiconductor elements evenly spaced on it, connected in series to the network. For safety reasons, a tape with a supply voltage of 12V is used for external lighting.

To power it, a power supply is used, selected according to the power of the lighting device. Along with monochrome models, RGB strips are also used, capable of producing various lighting effects.

LED strip lighting

LED strip lighting is convenient for contour lighting of the pool, as the strip can be easily placed along the perimeter of the edge or on the wall. LED strips are easy to stick with double-sided adhesive tape to any surface.

To be located even close to the pool, this lighting fixture must be protected from moisture. Therefore, to illuminate the reservoir, tapes in a silicone hose should be used or they should be placed in a special channel.

Alas, industrial organizations do not recognize LED tapes as a lighting device for the pool due to insufficient level protection. In most cases, manufacturers give the parameter no more than IP67, while as you need IP68. Therefore, they are most often used at home. pools.

Fiber optic filaments

These are polymer or glass fibers that carry a light signal, while the filaments themselves emit light. This principle formed the basis for decorating decorative elements, creating interesting drawings and exotic compositions.

Regarding the design of pool lighting, it should be noted that fiber optic lighting is in no way a source of electric current or voltage, therefore it is completely safe for humans.

Fiber Optic Illumination

any color, can take any shape and be laid both outside and in as underwater lights. Fiber optic luminaires give out the most uniform lighting, and their installation does not require hydro and electric isolation.

Since the fiber itself does not set light vibrations, but is only their conductor, a remote-controlled projector is used to generate light. The projector is installed in a dry place as far as possible from the water, and the threads are connected to it and mounted in the pool.

In case of damage and failure of the optical fiber, it can be replaced even without draining the water. Despite the significant advantages of fiber optic lighting, its cost is many times higher than other analogues.

Overwater Lighting

Overwater Lighting

Pool overhead lighting provides for the installation of lamps at a sufficient distance from the water. Depending on the location, a level of protection no less than that of underwater searchlights may be required.

Surface lighting fixtures can be mounted on the walls of the pool itself, on the edge, on the ceiling or on the walls. In addition to the main function, they can be used to decorate the design of premises. Of course, there will be no decorative effect in the pool itself, since all the light will be spent on creating the design of the room.

Floating luminaires

Floating luminaires

If all of the above types of lighting equipment must be provided for even before the construction of pools, then floating luminaires can be installed in a ready-made structure. Regardless design features of the reservoir, the floating LED lamp can be place it anywhere you like.

Floating models are made in the form of a ball and operate from a built-in battery, so the power supply cable lines are not required for them, which provides them with autonomy.

Selection of bulbs

There is a fairly wide selection of lighting bulbs on the market today, some of them are universal, others are not suitable for use in the pool.

The following models should be noted:

Ideal for subsea installations are LED spotlights or halogen lamps.

Lighting control

The control system allows the use of various operating modes, increase the brightness of the glow, use all or only some groups of lighting fixtures, include colored lamps or monochrome lighting devices.

use dimmers or other light dimmers to you could change the effects according to your needs. In public and sports complexes, the backlight should include several modes: for training, competition and emergency lighting.

Basic requirements

Since electricity and water are incompatible things, the installation of lights in the pool has several important limitations regarding the safety and comfort of swimming.

So, when creating pool lighting, you must consider the following requirements:

  1. Luminaires must be operated with safe voltage (12 V). The use of products powered by a 220-volt network is strictly prohibited.
  2. The degree of protection of all underwater lights should be the highest possible, namely IP 68.
  3. The wiring inside the bowl must be properly sealed. The problem area is the junction of the wires between the lamp and the input wires, so pay special attention to this particular place.
  4. Lighting fixtures must be quickly accessible.
  5. Lamps should not create glare and "sun spots" on the water surface. At the same time, lighting should not blind a person.
  6. Illumination of stairs in the pool should be comfortable, and most importantly - safe for descent.
  7. The light should "flood" the entire area of ​​the bowl, including the bottom.

Lighting options

Today there are two main types of lighting: underwater and general.

General lighting is installed outside and is used for overhead lighting of the water surface and the territory adjacent to the pool. In this case, it is recommended to install spotlights and lamps on brackets, the design of which allows you to create a directional light flux. It is also a good idea to install wall lights if there is any garden building next to the pool in the country house.


There are no special requirements for the protective properties of products, because in this case, contact with water will be completely absent.

For underwater lighting of the pool, the installation of spotlights located on the bottom and side walls of the bowl is used.


Its main purpose is to emphasize the shape of the object, as well as to give it an unusual design look. In this case, it is recommended to place products around the perimeter of the pool at an equal distance from each other. If you do not follow this recommendation, the backlight will be uneven and the appearance of the bowl will only worsen. An alternative to spotlights is LED strip. LED lighting is becoming very popular and it is also very easy to attach the tape to the sides of the bowl.

Another modern lighting option that I would like to talk about is the installation of floating lights. Such an intermediate arrangement of objects (on the surface of the water) cannot be attributed to any of the above options. In this case, spherical waterproof lanterns are used, which can move freely and illuminate the entire water surface. Their main purpose is a decorative function. Most often, pool lighting with floating lamps is used in inflatable and frame tanks, because. here it is more problematic to mount LEDs or tape.

Expensive but interesting pool lighting can be done using fiber optic cable. With this luminaire, it is easy to design an architectural bowl lighting that is original and constantly changing. The only rule to consider when installing fiber optics is that the power supply must be placed away from water so that the wiring does not short out.


To illuminate the indoor pool, which may be located in a house or cottage, it is recommended to use LED ceiling lights. Also indoors, you can make the original illumination of the bowl with LED strip.

Choosing bulbs

Once you have decided on your lighting fixtures, you need to choose the right bulbs for pool lighting. In total there are 2 options: halogen and LED lamps. Halogens have a brighter luminous flux and a radius of its dispersion. At the same time, the disadvantage of such light sources is a shorter service life.

As for LED lamps, they can last much longer, while saving up to 70% of electricity. The disadvantage is the smaller radius of illumination and the high cost of products.

I would like to note that LED lamps, unlike halogen lamps, can have several color glow options. When installing special RGB lights, the pool bowl can be painted in all the colors of the rainbow to your taste.

We also draw your attention to the fact that the above listed bulbs were considered as underwater lighting. For general, you can use any of the existing options.

Useful tips

Finally, we bring to your attention some useful tips for creating lighting in the pool with your own hands:

  1. When buying underwater lights, pay attention to their technical specifications. The main indicator is the maximum installation depth, which must meet your conditions. If the product is placed deeper than recommended in the norms, then there is a possibility that it will quickly fail.
  2. It is not necessary to install underwater lights directly on the bottom. In this case, in the event of a breakdown, it will be necessary to completely drain the water to access the product. You can simplify your life by placing lamps on the walls of the pool directly above the water. In this case, the entire container will be illuminated, and at the same time, nothing will be under water.
  3. Use dimmers and filters to change the intensity and color of the light.
  4. To create an original soft lighting of the pool, use floating lamps with a matte shade.
  5. Protect yourself by installing waterproof lights above the bowl. Although they will not come into contact with water, accidental splashing or condensation may cause a short circuit.

We also recommend watching a video that provides an inexpensive backlight option:
