How to choose pool lighting
The right lighting turns a pool into the centrepiece of your evening and makes night swimming safer. Modern LED pool lights are efficient, long-lasting and come in white or colour-changing options. Here's how to choose.
What you'll need
What to consider
- 1
White or colour-changing (RGB)
White light is clean and classic; RGB lets you set moods and scenes. Many RGB lights also do a steady white when you want it.
- 2
Match the fitting to your pool
Choose lights designed for your pool type (concrete, liner or fibreglass) and the correct niche or surface-mount fitting and voltage (usually low-voltage 12V for safety).
- 3
Brightness and coverage
Larger pools need more lumens or multiple lights for even coverage. Plan placement to avoid glare toward seating areas.
- 4
Control
Look for remote or app control and the ability to sync multiple lights so colours and scenes change together.
Tip: Always have pool electrical work done by a qualified electrician — low-voltage fittings and proper bonding keep night swims safe.
