Fancy Up your Pool with a Swimming Pool Light?

Adding a swimming pool light is probably one of the easiest things you can do to make your pool a little fancier.

If your pool doesn’t already have a pool light, then you have a couple of options for adding lighting.

If you don’t want a light permanently hanging into your pool, then you should look into the Glowbuoy. It’s a light that floats in the pool and illuminates the pool using rechargeable batteries. If you want something more permanent, you can use an in ground pool light that mounts on the side of the pool. It’s not going to be flush with the concrete, though, so while it is more permanent, it will be kind of sticking out of the pool. However, it is a lot cheaper than having a light mounted into the pool wall.

If you have an above ground pool, you can consider the above ground pool light. This goes without saying, but don’t try to make the above ground light work in an in ground pool and vice versa. Generally, above ground accessories and equipment aren’t powerful enough to work well in an in ground pool, and they’re usually less expensive. So if you have an above ground pool, you’ll save money by purchasing the above ground equipment, but if you have an in ground pool, the above ground equipment won’t be adequate.
