has anyone speced LED pool lighting??? I need both underwater and above water fixtures. Hayward has pool and spa fixtures, but they have to be used under water. I would like to use one company for both so I can control them with the same computer system.
we're probably going to end up with fiber optics for the underwater lighting on a current project. they want to be able to change colors easily and in a sequence.
yeah. i've only seen fiber optics in pools. if a diode dies, you'd have to do some pretty rediculous things to change it out. fiber optics have a separated light source that'll make maintenance a LOT easier.
and they DO have computer controlled fiber optics as well. i've seen them do a star field in a pool w/ a shooting star that fires every once in a while
I have a pool business and deal with Hayward products all the time. Underwater wall niche lights are LED, I believe Haywards colorlogic model is LED and there unlimited colors that the LED's produce. Hayward does not have any above water lighting, so you would probably mix and match. Underwater lights almost always fail after a period of time. The chemicals take a tole of the gaskets and seals and eventually water will get into the fixture and short everything out. Fiber optics may be a better options but more labor intensive as its usually embedded in the concrete.

LED pool lighting

Thanks

Fiber optics is the way to go....and it is as energy efficient...and no electric current pool side...

(7) Fiberstars LBM061208208 mini-fountain fitting, finish: Stainless Steel
Fiberstars FSPT-50 fiber, 175' (7@ ±25' each)
(7) Fiberstars LBM00602041 ferrule, (1) FS163 standard butane hot knife
404N wet location illuminator, Dichroic Reflector with Philips MasterColor lamp,120V, 60Hz, Four Color Wheel, 1 RPM, 400 Fiber.
Colors and Sequence: No-Color-White, Dk Blue, Med Blue, Aqua Cyan (alternate choice: No-Color-White, Amber, Apple, Aqua Cyan)
Start up load: 4 Amps, Continuous Load 1.8 Amps. See Drawings for Illuminator Location .
8mm ferrule, maximum 50 strand capacity.
have you considered Solar LED accents surround the pool?
we were gonna do fiber optic in our pool, but then we found out that it's such a bastard to install that a lot of companies have moved away from it.
It does look damn cool though
