Personalize Your Above-Ground Pool With Colored LED Lights
Posted on: 22 June 2015
Above-ground pools let your family enjoy the fun of going for a swim, but they can be difficult to personalize. Many above-ground pools look similar, and landscaping around them can only do so much to change that. If you have an above-ground pool that you'd like to give a personal touch, talk with a swimming pool renovation company about installing underwater LED light fixtures. They're economical, environmentally friendly and, most importantly, fun.
Underwater LED Lights will Transform Your Pool
Underwater LED lights will give your pool a whole new look at night. When it's dark, even a single underwater LED light can transform the water from blue to almost any color you'd like. For an additional touch, you can use LED lights that are the same or a complementary color to line walkways and illuminate seating areas.
LED Pool Lights are Affordable
Compared to other potential upgrades, LED lights are extremely affordable. They cost more than incandescent pool bulbs upfront, but the energy savings that LEDs provide offset installation costs.
If you already have underwater lights and are comfortable replacing your current bulbs with LED ones, the upgrade could actually save you money. According to InyoPools.com, an LED light bulb will pay for itself in about two years.
If you need to hire a pool renovation company to install a new lighting fixture, then your initial costs will inevitably increase. The LED lights should still eventually pay for themselves, though. Inyo Pool's calculations show that you can save as much as $1,124 over the course of an LED light's life span, which is 11 years.
LED Lights are Environmentally Friendly
Because they use less electricity than incandescent bulbs, LED pool lights are also an environmentally conscious choice. Pools require a lot of energy to run, but LED lights can help you minimize your pool's environmental footprint.
Whether you purchased a home that has an above-ground pool this past spring or have enjoyed a pool for years, colored LED lights provide a fun, affordable and environmentally friendly way to give your pool a makeover. Depending on your current lighting, you may be able to install LED lights yourself, or you might need to hire a pool renovation company to install new fixtures. Regardless of whether you plan to change the bulbs yourself or not, you should first talk with a pool renovator to discuss different LED pool light options and any associated costs.
