Underwater Lighting

Underwater pool lighting – what it consists of

Every system has several parts. First comes the light or the lamp. Second is the transformer, which lowers 220 V to 12 V. Third is the panel or the controller for switching on and for the colours.

Lights for underwater pool lighting

Among the pool lights there are LED and halogen models. Underwater LED lighting gives white, daylight, blue or multicolour RGB light, while the halogen PAR56 lamps of 100 and 300 W give an underwater light too. The magnetic Poolsana RGB 10 W suits prefabricated pools, and Bestway offers floating glowing lamps. Atlas Pool offers the Joker and SD series, and Poolsana has Compact, Profi and VARIO.

Transformers and panels for underwater pool lighting

Because the lamps run on 12 V, the lighting of a pool needs a 220 to 12 V transformer. The pool transformers are from 50 to 600 W, so choose the power according to the lamps. The pool control panels switch on the pump and the lights, while the radio controllers change the colours from a distance.

How to choose underwater pool lighting

• lining – concrete with glass ceramics, a liner or a metal pool;
• colour – white, daylight, blue or RGB light;
• power – the total of the lamps determines the transformer;
• control – a switch, a panel or a remote control.
