Pool Lighting
You have a wonderful Fiberglass Pool. Everyday you look outside and take great pleasure in simply feasting your eyes on the inviting pool environment you’ve created. Every night you look outside and see…nothing. You’ve forgotten something! By adding landscape lighting to your pool and spa, you can turn the dark, forgotten area behind your house into an extraordinary and enjoyable pool experience.
Today, one of the most striking lighting systems for pools and spas makes use of fiber-optic technology. Fiber optics provides a warm, soft glow to pool water. The light source is in a remote location, with no electricity and virtually no heat transferred through the plastic fibers lighting the pool. Unlike other lighting types, fiber optics is also perfect for border or perimeter effects that follow the curves and shape of the pool. You choose the color: soft blue, caribbean green, magenta or pure white. You can let the colors slowly turn from one shade to another on a special night.
Beyond the technology, you’ll find that fiber-optic lighting adds to the pleasure of your pool. The light is warm, bright and evenly dispersed. It easily creates an attractive ambiance for the evening’s festivities whether it’s a gathering of family and friends, or something more intimate. Some fiber-optic systems allow you to vary, either automatically or by remote control, the color of light cast into your pool.
Barry Greenwald of Fiberstars, manufacturer of Fiberstars and Jazz Light pool lighting systems, believes that the technology, efficiency and safety are enough to convince most people that fiber optics are the way to light their pools. “There are many good reasons to go with fiber optics, but I always like to point to what we call the wow factor. Whenever a pool owner turns on the system for the first time, the immediate reaction is Wow! I’ve lost count of how many customers have told us that the instant they switched on the system, their jaw dropped. It’s a comment we hear again and again. A lot of people get a kick out of surprising friends and relatives with the system and the reaction is the same... ‘Wow.’ People just go nuts over the beauty of this technology.”
