Water presents a challenging and
rewarding medium for lighting. Swimming pools, fountains, waterfalls
magically come to life with lighting effects at night.
- For effective swimming pool lighting, the lights are generally set
below the water level, into the sides of the pool.
- This should be done while the construction of the pool so as to keep
the wiring away from water.
The lights should be placed to shimmer down the deep end of the pool.
- Fountains are effectively lit by submerged narrow beam sources set
near the base of each jet or falling on the flowing water casting a
color and sparkle on it. Waterfall comes to life when lit from behind.
