More than just a few Clearwater and Tampa Bay residents have a backyard pool. In our area, many homeowners would call a pool a necessity, while folks who live further North would consider it a luxury. Our mild climate allows for almost year-round use of a backyard pool or spa. The area that surrounds the pool, whether you have a patio or deck, becomes a versatile extension of our home as well.
Pools and spas aren’t just limited to enjoyment in the daylight hours either. Pool owners find the evening one of the most conducive times for taking a dip or enjoying a restful soak in their spa. With this in mind, shouldn’t the addition of lighting in and around these areas be just as important as having lights within the interior of your home? For obvious reasons you wouldn’t prepare a meal in your home’s kitchen, or shower and dress without lighting, would you? Of course not.
Lighting your pool and spa area is important for safety’s sake, to extend function and of course, what could be more beautiful than light and water in unison…
Pool and spa lighting is loaded with practical and aesthetic benefits, here are just a few:
- A well-lit pool is a safer place to swim – Pool and spa lighting is a mesmerizing addition to any swimming area. If you love to swim when it’s dark, a poorly lit pool or spa can lead to potentially dangerous situations. Professionally design and installed lighting can ease minds, knowing children and adults will have a clear view during their swim. This is especially helpful with larger pools so no one is lost or left in the dark. Too many accidents happen in and around pools, which can be prevented with proper lighting.

With our warm climate, lighting will extend your playtime by the pool even as days grow shorter and there is less daylight.
