Spend the perfect day with family and friends lounging on the lawn and splashing around in your home’s in-ground swimming pool, and you can keep the fun going once the sun sets. With the right lighting solution in and around your pool, you’ll be able to continue hosting guests well into the night. There are several ways to light your pool and deciding which is best will depend on your home’s unique features.

4 Ways to Light Your Home’s Pool

1. Moonlighting

By illuminating your in-ground swimming pool with soft lighting from above, you can create the illusion of swimming under the light of a gorgeous full moon. Hang lights in nearby trees or on your pool deck rafters to utilize your home’s features to create a relaxing ambiance.

2. Tiki Torches

Perfect for someone who loves a tropical home decor, this lighting option illuminates your pool and the surrounding pathways in a fun and exotic way. Professional torches provide the light you need without looking cheap and gaudy, and they’re available in traditional flame or wired-in lighting.

3. Floating Lights

Floating lights are a fun option to light up your in-ground swimming pool, particularly when you are hosting social events. They highlight the pool area for your guests and serve as a wonderful artistic centerpiece for the event, just be sure to purchase lighting options that are waterproof and durable.

4. Underwater Lights

Underwater lights installed in your pool allow swimmers to enjoy the water regardless of the time of day. Built into the walls of your pool, underwater lights illuminate the water and truly separates your pool from your surrounding landscaping. For an added effect, install colored lights to make your pool area pop.
