If you’re hosting a fancy party by your pool and, wearing your prettiest summer dress, carry a tray of bacon-wrapped shrimp out to your guests, but trip in the dark and fall into the pool, that’s a good reason to add pool landscape lighting.
OK, so that’s pretty specific. Here are a few more reasons to add lighting around your pool in Central Florida.
This is number one for a reason— it’s super important.
Lots of activity happens around a pool. Add light to any dark areas where people could trip, slip, or fall.
Don’t worry about step lighting getting in the way. Central Florida landscape lighting companies can tuck inconspicuous lights right into that vertical part of a stair, called the riser.
You won’t notice the fixture — just the perfect pools of light keeping everybody safe.
Add festive string lights to your pool area and you’ve got an instant party atmosphere — or the setting for a romantic poolside evening for two.
Hang them over your poolside patio. String them around tree trunks or in branches. Magical.
Next up: outdoor tiki torches. Suddenly, your pool area feels like a tropical resort. Battery-operated and electric torches are a safer choice than old-school torches with open flames.
As you lounge poolside, sipping tropical drinks from a hollowed out pineapple (you live this kind of life, right?) you’ll be looking around occasionally.
Light the pretty stuff, from your pool’s fountain to statues to your fire pit to your koi pond.
Great lighting makes your pretty pool area do double duty, creating a magical view from inside your house.
Are there palms or other trees nearby that would love some pool area lighting? That can make a huge dramatic impact around your pool.
Moonlight swim, anyone? Wait, the moon is hiding behind clouds? No problem, with the right pool lighting.
You can set up a smart lighting system to control your pool landscape lighting.
Many systems have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth control options, making it easy to turn your lights on and off from different devices or locations.
Don’t forget dimmers. Put your pool area lighting on dimmers you can control with your smartphone.
Then with a simple click, you can make the landscape lighting brighter or dimmer to suit the atmosphere and your safety needs.
Don’t let sunset end your pool-time fun. Adding outdoor lighting around your pool can extend your summer fun into the evening hours.
What’s a pool without lighting? Just a bunch of dark water. That doesn’t sound very fun.
Now imagine a magical area with pools of subtle light, strings of festive lights, tropical tiki torches, and illuminated landscaping that adds to your enchanted poolside evenings.
Better start wrapping that bacon around the shrimp.
