Pool and Water Feature Lighting in Encinitas, CA
Underwater LED and fiber optic pool lights, deck lighting and spotlights for waterfalls, ponds and fountains, so your water becomes the focal point after dark.
What Are the Best Lights for a Swimming Pool?
Underwater LED pool lights are the standard today, and they come in a wide variety of sizes and outputs. They can hold a single color or move from color to color at the pace you set. Fiber optic pool lighting is another option, with the light source kept out of the water.
We look at the shape and depth of your pool, where you sit and where the views are, then place the lights so the water glows evenly without hot spots shining into your eyes.
How Do You Light a Waterfall, Pond or Fountain?
Moving water catches light in a way nothing else in the yard does. Spotlights and directional fixtures under or beside a waterfall make the falling water sparkle, while light under a fountain lifts the spray. Ponds come alive with a few fixtures that show the water and the plants around it.
We also light the rockwork and planting around the feature, so it sits naturally in the landscape instead of floating in the dark.
Pool Deck and Perimeter Lighting for Safe Nights
Lighting the water is only half the job. Deck lights spread a soft glow across the surfaces around the pool, and walkway lights along the perimeter make it safe to move around at night. We keep these low and shielded so they light the ground, not your guests' eyes.

Can You Upgrade Existing Pool Lights to LED?
Often, yes. Many existing pool lighting systems can be upgraded with low voltage LED solutions that work with the current fixtures, which saves on materials and installation. LED pool lighting uses less energy and gives you more light and more color choices than older lamps.
Pool and Water Feature Lighting FAQ
Can pool lights change color?
Yes. LED pool lights can hold one color or cycle through colors at a speed you choose, and they can be controlled from an app.
Do you light spas and water features along with the pool?
Yes. We plan the pool, spa edges, waterfalls, fountains and the deck around them as one design.
Is pool lighting part of the 3-Day Outdoor Lighting Trial?
The trial is for outdoor lighting, so you can see the yard around the pool lit at night before the design is final. Ask us at the consultation which parts of your pool project can be previewed.
