I've been lurking for about a month or so doing research for my first pool and this is my first post. I have a design I like and waiting on the last few quotes from the pool builders but I've been doing more research on the lights and comtemplating the number of lights to go with now.
My pool will be 32 x 17 along with a spa and parrallel with my house. It seems all documentation points to having the lights face away from the house which is fine. I'm going to have the back of the pool that is facing the house raised with 2 or 3 sheer decents. The pool builder recommended lights under each sheer decent which I like but those lights will be facing the house. They use Jandy lights and I see on Jandy's website one of the options they recommend is building a bump out with the lights facing up which I also like. I really like the nicheless lights which says to have one light every 8 feet. So that would put me at 4 lights facing away from the house, 2 or 3 more under the sheer decents, one in the cabo shelf and one in the spa. With this setup, what wattage should all of the lights be? I want it to pop at night when the lights are on but I don't want to be blinded either. What's a good middle ground?
