5 Tips For Choosing Pool Light 2022

When choosing pool lighting products, do you feel at a loss when faced with the wide range of pool lights available? Indeed, if you don't know much about pool lights, you're bound to be confused when it comes to choosing. Here are five tips to help you choose the right pool light for your pool.

Tip 1: Use pool lights with an LED light source

LED is known as the fourth generation of green lighting source, with features such as engrgy saving, environmental protection, small size and long service life, it is the best choice to replace the incandescent light source in traditional pools of the past. Secondly, LED lights can also be used in different colours and brightnesss in order to give your pool a beautiful light effect at night. In addtional, LED pool lights also have an extremely high illumination capacity underwater and can significantly increase the brightness of the pool uderwater.

Tip 2: Pay attention to the dustproof and waterproof grade markings of underwater lights

The pool light has a dustproof rating of 6 levels. Level 6 of which is high. And the light has a waterproof rating of 8 levels, of which level 8 is high. We recommend that you pay attention to the IP rating mark on the luminaire nameplate when choosing your pool light and use an underwater light with an IP68 protection rating.

Tip 3: Pay attention to the Electrical protection classes

There are four electrical protection classes: 0, I, II and III. For underwater lighting in swimming pools, fountains, etc., we strongly recommend that you choose class III and that the operating voltage of the internal and external wiring of the luminaire does not exceed 12V.

Tip 4: Pay attention to the rated voltage of the luminaire

Pool light installations must be strictly controlled to a human safety voltage of 36V or less, and with a special transformer. Usually the rated working voltage of underwater lights is very low, basically 12 V. The transformer provides a stable voltage to ensure that the pool light works safely and stably underwater.

Tip 5: Pick the right type of pool light.

Pool lights are usually divided into wall-mounted pool lights, pre-built pool lights and underwater landscape lights.

• Wall-mounted pool lights are mostly shell-shaped and are screwed to the pool wall and then used.

• Pre-embedded pool lights mean that the luminaire is fixed to the pre-embedded parts after they have been installed in the pool wall.

• Underwater landscape lights are similar to outdoor spotlights and can be installed at the bottom of pools and fountains to shine light from the bottom up onto the pool surface.

Finally, let me summarise for you how to choose the right pool light：

1. The relevance of the housing material to the environment.

2. The penetration of the light, its structure and performance.

3. Power design, light colour temperature, whether it is your ideal design effect.

4. Easy installation, IP68 standard, waterproof and electricity-proof, safe and stable, perfect after-sales service.
