How to enjoy the pool lighting safely?

While we enjoy pool lighting, we also need to pay attention to lighting safety issues. This article details how to enjoy pool lighting safely from lighting selection, design and installation, and maintenance. Lighting Options Choosing the Right Lighting Products Choose the right fixture and light source for your pool. Consider the waterproof rating, durability and energy efficiency of the fixture to ensure it is suitable for the pool environment and long-term use. In addition to providing a rich ambiance and visual effect, pool lighting plays an equally important role in night swimming. It allows swimmers to see over the edge of the pool and into the water. LED pool lights are energy efficient, safe and bright. If you are replacing the old lighting system, it is recommended that you choose LED pool lights to build a new lighting system. Control System Choosing a lighting control system that meets the standards allows for safer and easier control of the lighting effects of your pool lights. In this blog, Colour Changing LED Pool Lights: The Definitive Guide, we cover several common pool light control systems in detail. Waterproof Performance Pool lighting fixtures must have excellent water resistance. Choose fixtures and accessories with high waterproof performance to ensure reliability and safety in wet environments. This will prevent water from entering the fixture, reducing the risk of leaks and short circuits. Underwater pool fixtures need to be IP68 waterproof to prevent water from entering the interior of the fixture. Design and Installation Lighting Design and Layout Proper lighting design and layout is critical to the safety of night swimmers. Avoid overly bright or harsh lighting that may cause visual discomfort or interfere with swimmers' vision. You can also choose the right beam angle for your LED pool lights and arrange the lighting equipment appropriately.…

Interesting facts about LED pool lights

Maybe you’re just used to using LED pool lights and don’t know much about them. I’m going to give you some interesting facts about LED pool lights and lighting so that you can gain more knowledge while you enjoy reading. Let’s get started. Not Just White and Silver White Most LED pool lights are made of plastic or stainless steel. So, the most common colors for them are white and silver white. Plastic Pool Lights Most LED pool lights have a dye added to the plastic housing when it is made. White plastic housings are the most common, but some products offer other options depending on the user's requirements. For example, some pool lights can be supplied with a white or blue face ring as an option. Some plastic pool lights are manufactured with a frosted finish for a unique texture. Bodies with a frosted finish have a degree of light transmission that provides a unique lighting experience when the pool light is illuminated. Stainless Steel Pool Lights Stainless steel is also a common housing material for LED pool lights. The body of a stainless steel pool light is made up of several elements, the most important of which are iron, chromium and nickel. These are all silvery white metals that give stainless steel its final silvery white colour. If you look closely, you will notice that some stainless steel pool lights have a textured stainless steel surface and others have a smooth surface. This is because they are manufactured using a brushed or polished process. Brushing is a surface treatment that uses mechanical friction to create a regular and even texture on the surface of stainless steel. Common brushed patterns include thin stripes and circles. Polishing is a finish that leaves the surface of the workpiece completely flat. Polished…

How Can LED Pool Lights Be Waterproof?

LED pool lights need to work underwater or in wet environments and being waterproof can extend the life of your pool light and ensure safety. This article describes common waterproofing techniques for LED pool lights and compares resin-filled waterproofing and structural waterproofing in detail. Waterproofing Technologies Below are the 4 most common waterproofing technologies for LED pool lighting. Waterproof Materials Manufacturers usually make the housing of LED pool lights from stainless steel, plastic, tempered glass, etc. These materials are inherently more waterproof. Waterproof Power Cable The power cable for LED pool lights must be completely waterproof to ensure electrical safety. Waterproof power cables that are VDE certified are safer. Sealing Gaskets Gaskets often prevent water from entering through the gaps in the luminaire body at the joints of underwater luminaires. Resin-Filled Waterproof A special resin fills the light source and other electronic components of the pool light to completely isolate them from water or other foreign matter. Introduction to Resin-Filled and Structural Sealing Resin-filled waterproofing seals the light source and other electronic components of the LED pool light. Structural waterproofing relies on a well-sealed housing to keep water out of the light body. Resin-Filled Waterproofing Pool lights using the resin-filled waterproofing process require a filler hole in the light source. During the filling process, the production worker inserts a tube into the filling hole. The other end of the tube is connected to the injection port of the filler. The special resin is then injected through the tube into the light, filling the interior of the light source. The worker then disconnects the tube from the filling port and closes the tube with a sealing clip to prevent foreign matter, such as dust, from entering the lamp through the tube. These resin-filled light sources remain for several hours until the…

Interesting Stories About Pool Lighting

WAKING has become friends with many of our customers. Some of our customers have told us interesting stories about what happened to them when they used underwater lighting. I am now writing these stories down and sharing them with you. To protect the reputations of the people involved, I have used letters to refer to them and them. It's My Turn A and B are good friends who occasionally play tricks on each other, and A has an indoor swimming pool at home. A invites B to their house for a play date this evening. As it was too hot, A suggested they go to the pool after dinner and B happily agreed. As no one else was there, the two boys undressed, threw their clothes over the side of the pool and jumped in. After swimming for a while, A suddenly said that he had a stomach ache. He left B to continue playing and walked out of the pool. A was not dressed. He ran straight to the door and turned off the lights. The room immediately went dark. B swore loudly while A laughed happily. It was not long before B suddenly stopped swearing and there was no sound from B. A called B's name but got no response, so A got worried and immediately turned on the light. When the lights came on B walked out of the pool without saying a word and started to get dressed. A hurriedly apologised to B, but B ignored him, and after B's clothes were on, A remained awkwardly naked where he stood. Suddenly, B picked up his clothes from the floor, rolled them into a ball and threw them into the pool. A flinched, cursed and jumped in to fish for his clothes. As soon as A had…

Outdoor Pool Lighting vs Indoor Pool Lighting

Lighting is a very important part of swimming pool design. The right lighting scheme can provide a better pool experience for swimmers. In this article we will look at the differences between outdoor and indoor pool lighting. Let's start now. Influence of ambient light Both outdoor and indoor pools are affected by ambient light. The main differences are in the source, intensity and stability of the light. Outdoor Outdoor pools are affected by both natural and man-made factors such as the sun, sky, surrounding buildings and vegetation. The position and intensity of natural light sources vary with the time of day and the weather, so the lighting environment of an outdoor pool will also change. On a clear day, the sun's rays can shine directly on the pool water, causing strong reflection and refraction. Too much light can cause glare that irritates the eyes. On cloudy days or at night, natural light becomes dim and adequate lighting from lamps is required. Some outdoor pools can also be affected by overly tall or dense surrounding buildings and vegetation. The effects include a lack of natural light due to heavy shading, poor air circulation and an increase in mosquitoes. At night, if buildings are too close together and their internal lighting is too bright, external light is also refracted and reflected into the pool. Indoor Indoor pool lighting is not overly influenced by natural light and surrounding buildings, and it is much easier to control the effects of these factors than in outdoor pools. It is easy to achieve a good lighting experience by simply planning the room and pool lighting design and installing the right lighting products. Lighting Products Outdoor Outdoor pool lighting is more susceptible to weather, temperature, water quality and other factors. Poor quality pool lighting is more prone…

Imported LED underwater lights: A Detailed Guide

LEDs are the perfect choice for pool and water feature lighting. Whether you are a wholesaler, a contractor or a retailer, you may be faced with a wide range of issues in the purchasing process. This guide details each of the various aspects of importing LED underwater lights to help you find the right suppliers and products and build a strong supply system. What do I need to look for when looking for a supplier? Know the tariff policy of your import destination The tariff policies of different countries vary considerably. In order to protect domestic industries, some countries have set very high tariffs on specific types of products. High tariffs can lead to a significant increase in the price of imported products, and the high price of underwater lights will make them less competitive in the local market. Knowing your supplier's reputation Trading across borders involves a certain amount of risk, and knowing the reputation of your suppliers can help you ensure product quality, reduce risk and improve purchasing efficiency. Here are a few common ways to do this. Reviewing suppliers' relevant certificates and licences, which can demonstrate that the supplier meets industry standards and regulatory requirements. Checking supplier information from online sources including but not limited to websites, facebook, youtobe and other customer interactions and reviews of suppliers. When buyers are constrained by geography, or are unaware of industry standards and regulations, consider commissioning a professional third-party audit and assessment of the supplier to get a comprehensive picture of the supplier's situation. Understanding supplier reputation is an ongoing process. You need to keep an eye on their strengths and performance during the supplier selection, transaction and post-sales stages. Maintain communication and make adjustments or replacements as necessary to ensure the stability of the supply chain. Try to choose…
