LEDs don't give off enough light IMHO. I have 2 in my main pool 15k gallon and one in the spa. Worth the extra expense. Otherwise, I would go with a single standard light and orient it from the deep end to the shallow end. Clink on the link in my sig and look at the 5th or 6th pics. You can see that on either side of the lights, it's somewhat dark (along the stairs closest to the house). With one light, that dark space would have included the entire shallow end.
First pool under construction. Please provide some help! Marietta GA

Wow that's very nice. I will have to read your tread when I have time today. If my budget only allows for 1 more light, would you do a second pool light or a spa light?
Spa light. I think a dark spa against a lit pool wouldn't look as good. You can look into a portable or a drop in light for the spa and go with 2 pool lights.
My rec would be to have them run the conduits and install the housings and add lights when financially feasible. Should add about $6-800 bucks to your project up front.

Who is the Pool Builder? I live in Canton GA and I'm getting estimates now. Thanks!!
I also decided to drop the extra 1000.00 and add two more lights. A second pool light and a spa light.
How funny - I can't wait to see how all your material choices turn out. I wanted travertine and glass tile, my husband wanted flagstone and stone......he was right, it does go with the house better 
But I can't wait to root on your wife's choices! -Karen

Smart....I have 3 LED lights in my pool and one in the spa. One I know would not be enough.
