Number of lights in pool

[offshorebound]

Our pool builder is only doing one color LED light in our pool. Should we do two or even three? I am not sure which lights they plan on using but I am going to request Pentair microbrites! This is for a 15x35 pool and the tanning ledge will have (2) color changing led bubblers.

Thanks

Do you know what size/model LED? That will determine how many you need. Example, our 16x40 has three of the smaller 3" LEDs along one side. Yet other pool owners have one of the larger LEDs on one end which works fine.

No, the builder did not specify

Give him a call/text tomorrow so we can give the best advice possible.

Make sure the lights in the bubblers can be turned on without the bubblers going. There will be times you won't want the noise from the bubblers but do want the light.

We have a 20x40 with an angled 15x8 play pad. We have 1 in the deep end, 1 on the side next to the cleaner connection, and 1 on the play pad.
The light the pool well, however we have one corner in the shallow end that I wish I would have put one more in. But it’s bright enough with any color except red. I would rather have more than enough light than not enough. Adding one later is really expensive.

Always remember that you can switch individual lights on and off depending on mood if you have multiple lights.

The builder said they use Globrite. Getting pricing on microbrites

We have a 20x44 rectangle pool. We put in 5 (1.5 inch) colorlogic led lights. 3 on one side, 2 on the other. It lights the pool up amazingly. I only wish we would have done 1 more to equal out both side.
