Picking out the right light for your swimming pool can be somewhat of a challenging task. Your options would be to go with your standard incandescent light or LED. Depending on what you are looking for, we hope this blog post gives you some insight on how to make that choice. The bottom line is if you are tired of your swimming pool looking "basic" when you turn on your pool light at night and you would prefer not to hire a professional to come out and change your light after only roughly 300 hours of use, then buy a LED light! But, if you are mostly concerned about price, then you will want to buy an incandescent light. We prefer Jandy pool lights and we have many you can choose from in our eCommerce site.

Jandy Pro Series Watercolors LED color pool and spa lights bring a palette of colors to your backyard paradise for a truly unique atmosphere! They have unique wide angle lens design that saturates your water with a wide variety of primary colors and blended water colors. You can choose from five color shows or let Jandy Pro Series Watercolors transition through continuously changing colors! In the end, when comparing them to a standard incandescent light in a swimming pool there isn't much of a comparison. Most incandescent bulbs last 300 hours, cost roughly $400.00 to $450.00 to replace (but far less on our eCommerce site), they use more electricity and you should always hire a professional to install it because of the electricity/water factor. Whereas with a LED light you can get up to 50,000 hours of lighting and they reduce your energy expense by up to 80-90%. The biggest difference is the price where LED lights cost roughly $1000.00 to install if you hire a professional.

We prefer Jandy lights for the following reasons:

• They have a unique wide angle lens design saturates your water with a wide variety of primary colors and blended water colors
• You can choose from five color shows or let Jandy Pro Series Watercolors transition through continuously changing colors
• It reduces your energy expenses by up to 90%
• They are conveniently operated by a light switch, any iAqualink, Aqualink RS, PDA system, or Aqualink Touch

When it comes to your backyard, pool lights allow you to operate your inground and above ground swimming pools and spas even when the sun isn't out. Aside from making it safe to swim at night, pool lights also let you create a cool and pleasant environment where you can have a great swimming experience with friends and family members.
