Lighting question...
We have one large color changing LED in the middle facing the back waterfall. Any thoughts if we should add any more lights? We thought about an LED Bubbler, but from what I read they fail more often than not. Possibly a GloBrite on the sunshelf? Also thought about lighting on the waterfall side.
Lights get expensive so not sure we need to spend any more $ though.

PAPA SMURF in for the win!!!! LOL LOVE IT!
I would have one small light on or by the shelf/steps into the pool OR a pretty post light on the outside like this:

I love these kinds of lights and it would be easy to run power to it now.

I have asked the PB for a cost estimate on the sun shelf in pool light as well as what options we have for a hand rail (maybe removable) We have older parents and that would help them out. Granted they can be viewed as an eye sore.
Thanks again!

Thanks again!

Jeff,
Ugly is when you don't plan on them and then add them later...
I believe that at least having the fittings in the ground beforehand is a great idea...
I find having the railing works well for me. I don't need it to drag myself in or out of the pool, but it gives me that little bit of security just in case..
Here is my ugly railing...
Thanks for posting,

I have 2 led lights in our pool and none on the tanning ledge. The tanning ledge is pretty much pitch black at night and I do wish I had added a small light to it. The two lights in the main pool do light it up pretty well though.

Thanks for the pic - very nice pool!
My PB was not sure if one glo-brite would sync well with the large Intellibrite with the automation. Does anyone have experience with both types of lights in one pool?

Updated design (final) with changes to the shelf/steps to reclaim pool space in the shallow end. We still retained a small shelves for our little dogs to be able to jump on to. This is now being drawn up with schematics to send to the Gunite company. We are still pending approval from the HOA.
That design ROCKS!! It has something for everyone! Who came up with this one?? Give them a BIG

The final design was a joint effort between us and the builder. We are very happy with it [emoji41]
Ask if you go with all glo brites will it be cheaper. They are nice and non intrusive and blend in with the pool so they are not a eye sore and light the pool well
I have 4 in my pool and I’m so glad I did that

I did ask the pool builder about glo-brites and they would cost $1000 more plus the builder said I should stay with the one large LED in the middle of my layout shining towards the waterfall. He felt three glo-brites would make the pool too bright.
With the weather like it is here in the Houston area and other builds ahead of us, it may be early March before breaking ground. As long as we are done by May we will be happy.
We are now in Hurry Up and wait mode... At least we have the utility lines marked and the temporary line for the Cable laid down so it does not get chewed up during construction. Anything else we should be doing now while we wait for the build to begin?
