Insufficient lighting around the pool area can cause unwanted accidents, highlighting the importance of placing lighting strategically according to the layout of your pool and the outdoor space. Installing lighting around your pool can provide many benefits, such as increasing visibility and safety. Professionally designed outdoor lighting installation can transform your pool and outdoor paths, illuminating the backyard.

Illuminate Walkways

Path lights are a commonly used method for lighting up pathways and stairs and indicating changes in elevation. It is advised to use these fixtures in moderation to prevent creating a runway-like appearance. The pathways from the house to the pool that have differences in elevation are significant areas for lighting. Properly lighting pathways will safely lead your guests and reduce the risk of tripping and falling.

Underwater Lighting

Underwater lighting is crucial not just for safety, making sure that swimmers have clear visibility during night time, but it also gives a pool a striking touch. Strategically positioning underwater lights can emphasize the depth of the pool and improve the water's visual attractiveness. These lights frequently come in a range of colors, enabling you to change the pool's appearance and ambiance easily by pressing a button.

Feature Lighting

Feature lights are utilized to highlight particular details in your yard and around the pool area. These lights are crucial in landscape lighting installation as they bring dramatic focus when illuminating a beautiful tree, a piece of art, or the flowing water of a fountain. They can be positioned in gardens, on pool walls, or in any space where you desire to accentuate a main attraction.

Ambient Lighting

Ambient lighting is essential in establishing the ambiance of your outdoor living area. Gentle, subdued lighting can establish a cozy and inviting ambiance that lets you enjoy your pool and patio areas late into the evening. Ambient light fixtures can be positioned along the pool’s edge, on walls, or incorporated into garden and umbrella designs to create a soft glow that boosts the outdoor space's beauty without being too strong.

Highlight with LED Lights

LED strip lights can be placed around the pool's perimeter to accentuate its edges, assisting swimmers and pedestrians in recognizing the pool's boundaries. These lights are especially beneficial for households with young kids or for individuals who often host guests. LED strip lights not only enhance safety but also provide a stylish, contemporary appearance to your poolside layout. This kind of outdoor lighting installation is quite simple to add to pools, either new or already existing, and can be tailored to fit your design choices.

Motion Sensor Lights

To improve security and safety, think about installing motion-detection lighting by the pool area. These lights have the ability to sense motion and switch on by themselves, preventing possible trespassers and providing light for visitors entering the pool area after dark. Motion-sensor lights can be placed on walls, fences, or poles near the pool, and are especially handy in pool spaces that aren't regularly used but still need security.

The Art of Lighting

Designing the ideal lighting for a pool requires a mix of both practicality and beauty. Different lighting choices exist, each aimed at enhancing the swimming pool experience through increased visibility, safety, and the overall aesthetic appeal of the outdoor space. To gather some expert knowledge and benefit from the hands of a professional, feel free to call Abulous Lighting. We will make the lighting installation process stress-free for you, giving your outdoors a fresh, safer look.

Absolute Lighting installed my outdoor flood lights 2 years ago and they are beautiful! They did such a great job that I used them to setup and take down the Christmas lights for the past 2 years. I would highly recommend them. Frank always responds to questions and automatically puts me on the schedule for set up and take down of the Christmas Lights.

Frank and the team at Abulous were great to work with. They came out and retro-upgraded some previous lighting that we had done a few years back and made it look as seamless and continuous as possible. They also worked with us on the best (& most economical) way to light up a hard to reach area of our yard. They also followed up with us after we had another group of workers "disturb" some of the lighting wires and came back out and fixed everything back up again. Very friendly, dependable local resource who do great work. Highly recommend.

After reviewing multiple companies we contracted with Abilous Lighting to create outside accent lighting for our home, backyard patio, walkways, & fire pit.  Their ideas and design were the best!   It was a pleasure working with Frank Hasty, who did  the design, and his crew of Brandon & Rusty who performed the work.  All were excellent to work with.   We are very happy with Abulous Lighting.
