How to choose the lighting for your swimming pool
1) Size and number of lights
As a general guideline, install one light for every 20–25 m² of water surface. For example: an 8×4 m pool (~32 m²) ➜ two 35W LED lights.

2) Type of installation
- Surface-mounted: quick and easy installation without a niche; ideal for renovations.
- Recessed PAR56: direct replacement for standard niche lamps.

3) White vs RGB/RGBW
- White 3000–6000 K: Clear vision for swimming, traditional style.
- RGB/RGBW: Ambient lighting and scenes; with color memory and remote/app control depending on the model.
4) Control and wiring
- 2 wires (ON/OFF): Program change via the switch or remote control.
- 4/5 wires (RGBV+/RGBW): Independent control of color and white. See controllers.
5) Power supply and safety
Use very low safety voltage (12V) with the transformer/power supply installed outside of bathing areas. We recommend that installation be carried out by qualified personnel.
