Perfect lighting in your pool tells family and friends visiting that you care about their safety and the ambiance. You will also find a dramatic theme with the right pool lighting, but what are the most commonly used pool lights, and what is the difference between them? This is a question often asked when homeowners prepare to have their pool lighting installed.

Halogen Lights – Halogen lights and incandescent lights were once known as modern pool lights because of their longer life span. However, the one difference between the two is that halogen bulbs use halogen gas, making them operate at higher temperatures.

Incandescent Lights – If you are on a budget, then incandescent lighting is the way to go. Unlike the more modern lights, however, incandescent lights use light bulbs and were popular until compact fluorescent light bulbs were introduced.

LED Lights – The pool lighting standard are LED lights because of their brightness while using a small fraction of lighting. Your time will be saved when changing the bulbs of these long-lasting lights. In addition, LED lights do not use a filament, like other lighting options.
