How to place pool spotlights?

This part is very important, since if it is not done correctly, it can lead to glazing or lighting failures. There are three alternatives when installed. We tell you below.
- A single focus: In small -dimensional pools in which there is no obstacle, it is sufficient to install a single focus. This will always be placed focused on the shortest part of the pool to, in this way, illuminate the longest part of the pool.
- Faced: Whenever our pool allows us by the dimensions, the installation of the foci focused on the shortest part of the pool and confronted from each other can be installed. In this way the light is distributed more homogeneously and small alterations or obstacles that can be found in the pool can be overcome.
- Lighting from the wide part: When the long part of the pool exceeds 10 meters the foci are installed along this part leaving a separation between 2.5 m and 1.25 m sources at both ends. The placement of these spotlights will be turned back to the house or to any passage zone to avoid glare problems.

How to know how many spotlights install in a pool?

 The recommendation of most installers recommends the installation of 1 pool focus per 20 m2 Water surface. The optimal location of the spotlights is 30 cm from the top of the pool. In this way, access to them is facilitated by maintenance tasks. If for example you are going to build a 6 m x 4 m pool, you will only have to install a pool focus.

Compatibility that exists between LED and halogen embodied pool spotlights

If you currently have 100W halogen bulbs installed in your pool of 100W power, the replacement at LED is for 12W, while it has 300W spottes installed, the equivalence to LED will be 25W.
