New Build in New Orleans

Metairie, LA
Hey everyone i'm new to the forum. I just started my build yesterday and need some advice. I have purchased 5 Pentair lights, regular not globrites as part of my contract. My plan is to have one in the spa, 1 on the tanning ledge, 1 on the stairs and two in the body of the pool. My question is, is there a location that's best. I was talking to someone and they advised not placing lights facing the house. The pool is about 10 feet from my house but does not really have a direct line of site into the house. It is right along my patio. Attached are the general specs. I have made some changes like adding more decking to completely connect the patio and have built the spa more into the pool. Pool is also shallow 5 feet at its deepest.

Re: New Build in New Orleans- Light Placement

HI! What a fun time for you! Kind of scary too I bet!

Will your bubblers light up? I think your steps will need a light on them as well. I like your set up so far!

Make sure to ask any and all questions you might have no matter how small! We have all been where you are at one point.

This is also the time I have you ask your PB what test kit he will give you. Let us know so we can fill in any blanks.
