Lighting Your Way to the Pool

Let’s say that you have a walkway that goes to your swimming pool. You may want to add light to go to the pool so you are able to see well when you are walking to your pool at dusk or dark. You want to keep safety in mind as well as design when you are setting up your pool lighting.

When you are placing your lighting, you want to make sure they are placed no more than 16 ft apart as this is going to be the farthest they can be apart and still be effective. If you have trees around your pool, you can use them to hold your lights and make the pattern along your pool. Downlights in tall trees or any other object you have that is up high can be a great way for you to light your way.

Fire pits and tiki torches are a great way to be able to do above ground lighting without having to do anything too fancy. While they still look great, they aren’t going to cost a great deal or be hard to install. Gas torches give off a beautiful fluttering flame and allow you to get the lighting that you want with a romantic flare.

On Top of Your Lighting
