Perimeter pool strip lights are a lighting system that illuminates the edges of a pool or spa. A growing interest in RGB lighting has led to a rise in the popularity of pool perimeter lights as being the best way to light up any pool or spa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perimeter lighting is not only eye-catching but also extremely helpful when it comes to safety. Lighting up all the edges of a pool at night is a great safety precaution to reduce the risk of people falling into the pool and aid people with visual impairments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LightEFX’s perimeter pool lighting system<\/a> utilizes fiber optic technology to illuminate the pool’s edges with a halo effect using color-changing fiber optic cables that have a 360\u00b0 <\/strong>neon-like glow. As the fiber cables do not conduct electricity or heat, LightEFX’s perimeter pool strip lights are easy and safe to install.<\/p>\n\n\n

Why You Need Pool Lighting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When building a pool, builders and designers have many factors to consider, most importantly, whether to include pool lighting. Of course, it is possible to build a pool or spa without lighting, but there are many benefits to having lighting in and around your pool or spa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Night swimming is a lot of fun! However, this can be very limited and dangerous without the proper lighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to relax safely in your pool at night, your pool needs to be well-lit up. By doing so, you will not only be able to navigate around the pool, but you will also be able to supervise children and guests easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only can lighting be used for practical reasons, but it can be used as a design feature to create an atmosphere and memorable experiences. With LightEFX’s pool lighting products<\/a>, lights can be automated with color-changing and animated effects. For example, you can create a relaxing atmosphere with light blue lights. Then at the click of a button, turn it into a party atmosphere by selecting a fast color-changing automation sequence and watch the lights change around the perimeter of your pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your pool party will be the talk of the town for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n

Why Use Fiber Optic Pool Strip Lights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fiber optic pool strip lights have the advantage of carrying only light and no power through the fiber cables. As there is no electricity in the fiber cable, it can be safely used in heated and water-treated pools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fiber cables contain no LEDs or bulbs, only fiber optic strands encased in a clear UV protective sheath. This immediately removes the risk of water and electricity contact and reduces maintenance costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A bonus of using fiber optic cables is there will never be any failed LED dark spots or the need to replace faulty LEDs in the fiber cable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light is distributed as an even, clean, cold light throughout the perimeter of the pool and has 360\u00b0 shine around the cables, making it an excellent choice for any pool or spa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How it works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The LightEFX Pool Perimeter Strip Lighting Kit<\/a> comes with an illuminator, fiber optic cables, and clear fiber cable tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Illuminators are typically stored in the pump room of the pool and send light through the fiber-optic cables, which are installed on a clear track and secured in the pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tracks can be attached under the coping or in a channel along the pool wall, depending on the visual aesthetic requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All ends of the fiber cables will then loop back into the illuminator to create a stronger light intensity and better performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The LightEFX’s pool strip lights are controlled remotely by a wireless remote control or integrated with home lighting automation systems. This gives customers complete control over the mood and aesthetics of your pool from your automation app.<\/p>\n\n\n

Are Fiber Optic Pool Strip Lights Submersible?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fiber optic pool strip lights use side-emitting cables that can be submerged in water partially or completely without having to worry about issues associated with pool heating or the depth of installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike LED strip lighting, fiber optic side-emitting cables can be installed in depths greater than 1.5m (5ft) and continue to work regardless of if the pool is heated or not, as all of the electronic compartments are in the illuminator and not in the fiber cable.<\/p>\n\n\n
