Lighting

[PoolDoctor]

Hi All,

A topic that tends not to get a lot of attention is, underwater lighting. This is one of the easiest and fastest ways of improving your pool's look at nighttime.

Years ago, I would cringe when a client rang us about lighting. Why? Traditional halogen bulbs burn hot, and then cool down when turned off. This cycling of hot / cool or more precisely expansion / contraction of the housing would inevitably cause water leaks in a large number of underwater lights. Nothing is worse than having to replace a light 11 months into a 12 month warranty! Lol.

These days though, we are pleased to install LED lights, which don't create much heat. The technology has really come up, and now we can offer lights with 10 different colors, patterns, strobe effects, etc without having to worry too much about leaks. Please note that all older pools are also available for a retro-fit and can easilty accomodate LED technology. The different colors are truly spectacular, and the 20w output is really sufficient for most residential pools.

The best part? You no longer have to go into the equipment room to turn them on! We offer a very economical remote control option which permits turning on the lights from the comfort of your living room (some distance constraints). Give us an email at anytime for more information, or a hassle-free quote. We can also install a variety of perimeter (e.g., garden) lighting systems.

Best,

Gil
