Pool lighting with LED spotlights
As we discussed, the possibilities offered by LED lighting for swimming pools is really infinite , given the wide variety of options that exist. It is not only the way of locating the spotlights, but also the colors. With halogen lights the incorporation of colors without the use of filters is impossible.
The most original way to illuminate the pool with LED spotlights is taking advantage of all the game that can cause the implementation of colors . They do not have to be fixed colors, RGB bulbs can be regulated to provide a wide range of colors. As they contain green, red and blue leds, they can make the most complex combinations by playing with the intensity of each of them through a waterproof remote control.
The outdoor LED spotlights can also be used to set the passage areas and illuminate the whole surrounding a swimming pool . There are many elements that can be incorporated to provide warmth, as well as a special, personal and modern touch, perfect for creating very pleasant spaces and to enjoy all kinds of celebrations or events. These elements can be spheres, cubes, pyramids, poufs, outdoor and garden seats and even decks with LEDs that can be used both in the vicinity and inside the pool in the form of floating and submersible lighting.
But, on the other hand, if we want to modify or add lighting to our pool carrying out the minimum possible installation, there are also options to do it through LED lighting. These are the so-called spotlights for removable pools, specially designed for these types of pools and which are able to maintain a fairly adequate lighting quality.
What types of light bulbs are there?
Halogen lamps
They are traditional incandescent lamps, much less efficient than LED lights because they waste a lot of energy. 90% of the energy they produce converts it into heat.
LED lighting
The LEDs (Light Emitting Diode) are diodes that emit light in exchange for a small electrical current. LED lighting makes much more use of light bulbs because all the energy is directed towards the production of light.
They can also be classified according to their fixing system, since there are some that are embedded in the wall or that are extra-flat and are installed on the surface thereof, or according to the material of the pool you can find spotlights for Liner and, on the other side, spotlights for concrete pools.
Advantages of led lights
The saving is, in general, the reason that has greater relevance when it is decided to replace the use of halogen bulbs by led lights, but there are many other important reasons:
They are much cheaper. This saving occurs in different ways. First of all, because as we have already mentioned, the LEDs save a lot of energy consumption, which will be reflected notably in the invoices of the light. On the other hand, they are much more resistant, they support better both the temperature and the humidity, as well as the possible movements that can be produced by any type of vibration. This resistance supposes a saving in repairs, in addition, they have a much longer duration, with a useful life of up to 50000 hours, which implies a greater saving if it is possible in replacement of bulbs and purchase of spare parts.
The quality of the lighting is much higher. The color rendering index is very high, which results in lighting with purer, sharper, lively and deeper colors.
They contaminate less. By producing minimal heat loss and saving energy, CO2 emissions are significantly reduced. In addition, they are recyclable bulbs that do not pollute the environment.
They are more secure. Since they withstand temperatures well, unlike a halogen bulb, it is very unlikely that LED spotlights could ignite. On the other hand, the light they produce does not emit ultraviolet rays or infrared rays. But also, LED lamps do not incorporate any chemical element, which halogen lamps do,
They are more comfortable. The installation is much simpler due to its reduced size, therefore, reduced weight, easy handling and also, the simplicity of your equipment.
