At Illuminations Lighting Design we welcome opportunities to step outside the box to create new and unique lighting effects.
We are in the process of designing a swimming pool and wanted to do something a little out of the ordinary with the lighting. My pool and lighting contractor has suggested we consider fiber optic lighting as well as LED lighting fixtures. What are your thoughts on these light sources?The lighting designers at Illuminations Lighting Design welcome opportunities to step outside the box and create new and unique lighting effects. Certainly, fiber optic lighting is an excellent way to border the pool under the coping as well as illuminate any water features that you are considering. We recently completed a swimming pool project that incorporated fiber opting lighting and extensive outdoor landscape lighting.
We used side emitting fiber optic lighting under the pool coping to follow the contour of the pool edge that changed colors. The built-in color wheel allowed the client to vary the colors or select one particular color depending on his mood. Because the fiber optic light originates from a remote box, it's fairly easy to maintain and requires very little landscape lighting maintenance.
In the fountain area, we introduced aeration or bubbles into the jet nozzles. The aeration is what reflects the light and shows off the colors. Clear water does not accept lighting as well and is much less effective.
LED pool lighting is becoming quite popular. New retrofit LED lamps are showing up as an alternative to standard incandescent pool lights. These new LED lamps provide color options and have tremendous lamp life in excess of 50,000 hours.
