It is almost pool time here in the Clearwater and Tampa Bay areas. With temperatures consistently in the 70’s, it’s just a matter of time. So why not take that time to spruce up your pool area? Adding pool area lighting increases the number of hours you can use your pool and helps keep the area safe by illuminating edges. But most of all, it transforms this area into a personal oasis where you can relax and rejuvenate. This past week, Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Clearwater and Tampa Bay finished up an installation in a lovely pool deck area, and it has definitely put us in a summer time frame of mind.
Step lights transform this serene deck into relaxing night time refuge.
The deck itself was very minimalist with a Zen-like style. As such, there were no rails on which to anchor lights. Our solution? Step lights embedded into the deck itself. The copper finish of these lights blended seamlessly with the natural wood of the deck itself, and the fixtures cast ample light for the clients and their guests to have clear visibility of the edges. Of course, we did not stop after the deck was illuminated. Using well, deck, step, and path lights, we bathed the entire pool area in a relaxing glow, including the landscape, trees, and fire pit.
The lights we used in this installation were all halogen lights, but Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Clearwater and Tampa Bay carries LED version of all of these fixtures. A total of 27 lights were used, but with LED, the client could have added even more without needing a larger transformer. So if you wanted your pool area to be bright and cheerful rather than subdued and relaxing, such a mood would be well within your reach using LED, given the same transformer.
Beautiful copper blends seamlessly with the deck’s natural wood.
Outdoor lights are like paints in many ways. By using them strategically, we can create the mood of your choice, making the area a private refuge for you, your family, and your guests. There, you can soak in our Florida summer once the setting sun has made temperatures more agreeable. Warm water and enchanting light will rejuvenate you, and it will all be made possible by outdoor lighting.
Pool area lighting is by far the best improvement you can add to your pool. It enhances beauty, functionality, and safety. So if you are ready to transform your pool area into a haven that would make even big resorts jealous, contact Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Clearwater and Tampa Bay. We stand ready to make nights by your own pool the very best part of your summer.
