Custom Outdoor Pool Lighting in Franklin, TN

Safe, beautiful night swims.

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.

Music City Outdoor Lighting Brings the Experience

Pool lighting in Nashville is two separate engineering problems handled as one. Inside the water you need UL-listed, low-voltage underwater fixtures rated for chemicals and pressure; outside the coping you need glare-free perimeter lighting that reads the wet deck without blinding swimmers. We design both layers together so the pool itself glows and the surrounding hardscape, steps, and rails stay safely visible after sunset.

Most of our pool work is retrofit — we can swap incandescent niche bulbs for color-changing LEDs without draining the pool, add concealed bond-beam perimeter lights, and pair the whole system with an app so you can shift from a calm cool-blue to a backyard-party color cycle from your phone. Every component is kid- and pet-safe at the voltage level, and we work alongside your existing pool builder or service company when needed.

Pool Lighting FAQs

Are underwater pool lights safe?

+
Yes. We install only UL-listed, low-voltage (12V) underwater LED fixtures that are specifically rated and certified for submersible pool use. Low-voltage systems eliminate the electric shock hazards associated with older line-voltage pool lights and comply with current NEC pool safety codes.

Can I change the color of my pool lights?

+
Absolutely. We offer color-changing LED pool lights that let you choose from millions of colors via remote control or smartphone app. You can set specific colors for holidays, parties, or everyday use — or program automatic color-cycling sequences.

How long does pool lighting installation take?

+
Most pool lighting systems are installed in a single day. The crew arrives with all materials and handles fixture installation, wiring, transformer setup, and programming. We then return at dusk for a night-one walkthrough to fine-tune the system with you.

What areas of Nashville do you serve?

+
We're booked most weeks across Davidson, Williamson, and Sumner counties — pool projects in Brentwood, Franklin, Belle Meade, Green Hills, Hendersonville, Gallatin, Mt. Juliet, Spring Hill, and Lebanon are routine. Estate pools further out (Murfreesboro, Columbia, Bowling Green-area) we'll usually take on too — ask.

Can you add lighting to an existing pool?

+
Yes. We retrofit lighting systems into existing pools regularly. Depending on your pool's current electrical setup, we can add underwater fixtures, deck path lights, step lights, and overhead bistro strings without a full renovation. We'll assess your current setup during the free consultation.
