Illuminating a Water Feature Can Present Big Challenges that Require the Touch of a Pro to Get it Done Right!
Adding a water feature to your property brings another level of ambiance and relaxation to the space due to the sound and the visual beauty. Behold a water feature with the treatment of professional outdoor lighting and you can bet it doesn’t get better than that! Why let your gorgeous watery art disappear under the guise of night when you can make it glitter thanks to the magical touch of light. It doesn’t matter if it’s a pool, pond, spa, waterfall, fountain or even a dock. Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Clearwater & Tampa Bay can make your water feature sparkle.
Thanks to outdoor lighting, water features come to life and take on a whole different vibe. Waterfalls shimmer, fountains become theatrical works of art, and the watery surface of your pool or pond will glow with a divine reflective energy that can only be cast thanks to outdoor lighting. When these water delights are illuminated in the evening, you can enjoy them at any hour—day or night. They add a lot of value to your outdoor lifestyle and bring in another layer of interest and diversity to your landscape.
Lighting water features requires the skill of a professional lighting designer, as it’s quite challenging for the novice to not create a harsh glare off the water’s surface with the correct position of the fixture and even choosing the proper fixture to utilize in the right application to create the desired effect.
Ponds are a whole other difficulty because many of our customers want to be able to see the fish and the fauna inside. We can install fixtures high up in the trees to mimic the moon’s wash of light that will help catch the sparkle of the fish in the water. We can light special ornamental trees or a waterfall to highlight these special facets of your pond and make them stand out as focal points. We can light your waterfall with dazzling effect so you can appreciate the movement of the water and even highlight it in a different color if you like.
Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Clearwater & Tampa Bay can light up the areas that surround your water feature too, such as your pool cabana or lanai so they not only look gorgeous, but can also be used well into the evening for ongoing fun. We can add overhead lighting above your pool deck so that family and friends can hang late into the night and safely enjoy the amenities while still having a great look. It makes these spaces more usable and practical, with the added value of spontaneity too!
