Technology advances over the last ten years have provided a wonderful array of choices for you to consider when remodeling your swimming pool and backyard living space. Choosing the right lighting can be the final piece to your personal masterpiece and greatly enhance the enjoyment of your home. Pool area lighting and landscape lighting can take on various forms and styles. You should also carefully consider the environment in which the lighting will be installed. Living close to the coast and the ocean can cast another set of requirements on your lighting needs if you want your lighting to last any considerable length of time. Be sure to consider all elements of your backyard living space when considering your lighting needs. Do you need step lights or path lights? Or do you desire the more traditional lamp post style? You can also choose from a variety of in-ground lighting, bollards, underwater lighting, and energy efficient lighting.

In addition to your landscape lighting needs you want to blend in just the right lighting for your swimming pool. The right lighting options added to your swimming pool can really enhance the beauty of your backyard home resort. While standard halogen white pool lights can show off the natural beauty of darker pool finishes, there are now wonderful options that can add color and efficiency to your pool area. The emerging technology of LEDs (light emitting diodes) offer both color options as well as energy efficiency. New LED lights need only 50 watts to create the same output as traditional incandescent and halogen pool lights do at 150 watts. That’s because incandescent and halogen lights use only a small amount of their electricity consumption for emitting light, while LED lights use 100% of their energy to produce light. These color changing pool lights run cooler utilizing solid state technology and can run for over 30,000 hours. So whether you are looking for a solid color such as white, blue or green; or, desire the beauty offered by a variety of color changing light shows, you should consider upgrading your pool lighting today.
