I’m torn between loving the look, and being terrified of whatever a Chinese factory with no regulatory standards is claiming is safe.
LED strip lights?

Fiber optics would probably be the way to go. Only a tube full of a light at the pool. Would have to have a powerful light source/transformer/ LED doohickey located a safe distance away and it would certainly cost more to do, but would be completely safe under any circumstances.
Bumping this as I'm going to be needing something under the coping in an area of a pool we're building right now.
Has anyone gone the fiber optics route and have any insight on how to do it so that it lasts under the coping?

I actually am not sure what glue I used. I am pretty sure it was a GE silicone glue that went into a caulking gun. It was very easy to glue. I just made sure I cleaned the LED strips with alcohol and cleaned the tile. Put a small bead down and stuck it on.
My pool came with an old fiber optic setup. I updated the internals with a new bulb and wyze controller for my phone but the fibers are worn and broken in a few spots so the light is kind underwhelming. New systems are about $2k.

I’d like to find some sort of underwater lighting solution for my pool. It has no lights for some reason, and I can’t exactly go under the concrete pool deck. I did make some street type lights by attaching some long conduit to my fence and then mounting these on top. I can see the bottom of the pool at night, so it’s safe to swim, but not quite the same effect as pool lights.
