LED Lighting for Pools
Using LED lights as your pool’s lighting source has a variety of benefits. You may be surprised how these lights can improve your life and your wallet. Technology changes the way you do many things, including swim. There are a variety of pool lighting options you can use to enhance the surroundings around your pool, including LED lights. Here are the facts you need to know about LED lighting for pools.
Energy Savings at Its Best – LED lighting is over 80% more efficient than traditional light bulbs. LED bulbs consume less energy than traditional bulbs, which helps you save hundreds of dollars each year on energy costs.
Long Live the Bulb – LED pool lighting lasts tens of thousands of hours, which means you don’t have to worry about changing them too frequently. LED lighting also performs well in extreme temperatures, so regardless of your pool’s temperature, your LED pool lights are always on providing you with the light you need.
It’s Time to “Go Green” – If you’re looking for a more eco-friendly lighting option, LED lighting is what you want. LED pool lighting does not contain mercury and other toxic elements that traditional bulbs do. These eco-friendly bulbs also don’t emit infrared radiation (IR) or ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Unlike fluorescent bulbs, LED bulbs are not harmful to the environment or humans when they are disposed of in landfills or similar locations. LED lights contain higher lumens than other lighting options that allow you to use fewer light fixtures in your pool and save more money on your electric expenses.
Other Advantages of LED Pool Lighting
Playing it Safe – No feature or factor is more important than safety. LED pool lighting emits less heat than other types of bulbs. Traditional lighting poses fire risks due to overheating issues. Traditional light bulbs become more of a hazard due to the locations they are placed. LED lighting won’t overheat because they are thermally protected. LED pool lighting has a thin profile that enables easy installation in narrow, more favorable locations.
Brightness and Wattage Efficiency – Brightness and wattage efficiency are two essential factors that set LED lighting apart from other lighting options. LED lights have higher lumens than traditional incandescent bulbs. Lumens are the measurement that specifies the amount of light a bulb emits. The more you increase the number of lumens a light bulb has, the brighter the emission of light. LED pool lighting has higher lumens than other types of lighting. LED bulbs can be dimmed to suit our needs, which allows you to make your pool as bright or dim as you need.
Adding a Little Color – Personalization is an option other light bulbs don’t offer. If your pool is the life of the party, you’ll want to use LED pool lights to add flair to your gathering. LED pool lighting is available in:
- Red
- White
- Yellow
- Blue
- Orange
- Silver
