Hello Everyone! Here is a simple lighting tip that is very green, quite dramatic, and works on typical pool light fixtures.Try using a colored Compact Fluorescent lamp to replace the 500 Watt Incandescent light bulb commonly used! We use a 11 watt Prolume CFL. They come in Blue, Red, Yellow and Green colors. The drama from this lamp is caused by the travel of light molecules through water, coloring the water and never leaving the confines of the pool structure itself. This makes the pool shape glow, and the landscape lighting around the pool stands alone. It also uses nearly 5000% less energy! That's very green and the "look" is beautiful. We are lighting specialists and we only recommend using the brand mentioned above. The lamp life is consistant and its a designer lamp so they are color constant and very long life.Hope you use this tip! It's a lot of bang for no money! Helps with that "tight" client!Jim Lehmanwww.accentlightingdesigns.com
Hi Jeremy, at this time 12volt Fluorescents are not recommendable. The pro lume brand can be bought through most lighting consultants, you can order them from me and I will ship them to you with no freight charges. It is very energy wise, and I work with DOE Energy Star Program. I keep them in stock at all times! Call us for a sample Jeremy! Thanks for you inquiry, if we could get everyone to use them what an energy savings we could acquire nationwide! Jim@accentlightingdesigns.com
I will get some photos of this effect placed on my site. For this and many more ideas for outdoor lighting near pools, please go to our website and take the virtual tour of outdoor lighting in the Table of Contents area.
