LED Pool Lights

What is LED lighting?

LED lighting (Light Emitting Diode) is a type of lighting based on a high-performance semiconductor diode capable of emitting light. Energy passes through this diode in only one direction, thanks to the two tips it has at the ends. Once the energy passes through, it is converted into light.

Thanks to this system, it is possible to provide the same amount of light as conventional bulbs. However, the difference lies in the lower electrical consumption used, representing a great advantage economically. Using a lighting system with LED lights means obtaining better luminous performance with low energy consumption.

Besides the savings it represents in the long run when investing in LED lights, this system offers several advantages in terms of use. It is a product that boasts a long lifespan, being able to exceed 45,000 hours of use. It is also a product made with certain chemicals that do not contain any toxic elements harmful to the planet, so LEDs are environmentally friendly and therefore ecological. Additionally, the heat emission they produce is minimal, so the level of wasted energy is really low, unlike incandescent bulbs. All these benefits and many more make this type of lights the best purchase option on the market.

How to choose the most suitable spotlights for my pool?

When purchasing LED lights, it is most appropriate to inform yourself beforehand before making any purchase. There is quite a variety of LED spotlights on the market, which vary according to various parameters such as the type of light emitted and the different types of installation.

Another important aspect to consider is the quality of the LED spotlights. Choosing a high-quality spotlight model ensures greater efficiency and reliability, which translates into a much longer lifespan that will save you the trouble of frequently replacing them.

Type of light emitted

 

White LED lighting

 

It is a single-colour and static light, therefore, it belongs to the fixed light category. In this most basic type of lighting, we find warm white light and cool white light. Regarding the warm, it offers a more yellowish tone, creating a softer atmosphere with golden and tawny spectra. On the other hand, cool white light, as its name indicates, has a more bluish and pearly colour, achieving a clearer visible water result. The type of projectors that use white LEDs save energy consumption and boast a long lifespan.

 

RGB LED lighting

 

The great advantage of using RGB LED lights is the wide range of colours we can use to illuminate our pool. The diversity of tones available is very large, giving the user a wide range of possibilities to play with.

 

The colour mixing is achieved by combining the 3 primary colours: red, blue, and yellow. By adjusting the lighting intensity of each colour at different levels, a very varied palette of visible spectra is obtained.
