When you love night swimming, the quality of your pool lights matters. While incandescent versions can illuminate the space, updating your pool lights to LED bulbs comes with many advantages.

3 Reasons to Invest in LED Pool Lighting

1. Improve Safety

LED lights emit more lumens than incandescent or CFL bulbs. For instance, a 40.5-watt LED bulb generates 3,550 more lumens than a 40-watt incandescent bulb. A brighter pool means better visibility for swimmers, making stairways and ladder areas safer to use. People are also less likely to accidentally fall into a brightly lit pool at night. 

2. Make Your Pool More Eco-Friendly 

LED pool lights are up to 80% more efficient than incandescent or fluorescent bulbs, transmitting 95% of their energy into light and losing only 5% to heat production. Additionally, unlike other bulb varieties that contain mercury to interact with the filament and generate light, LED lights don’t contain any toxic elements, protecting the environment. Because LED bulbs require so much less power, they also drastically reduce carbon emissions.

3. Save Money

High-efficiency LED pool lights only cost about $1 a year to use, while traditional incandescent bulbs cost $4.80. As an added bonus, LED bulbs can last up to 25 times longer than an incandescent bulb, lowering your lighting costs significantly.

When you factor in the costs tied to replacing and illuminating multiple lights, it’s clear how using LED bulbs can save you a significant amount of money over the course of your pool ownership.
