Pool Lighting Ideas: Backyard Pools at Night

A pool is used as much after dark as during the day, and lighting is what makes those hours feel intentional. These photographs were all taken at dusk or night so you can see how underwater LEDs, uplit trees and warm deck lighting layer together.

About this collection

Pool Lighting Ideas: Backyard Pools at Night, explained.

A pool is used as much after dark as during the day, and lighting is what makes those hours feel intentional. These photographs were all taken at dusk or night so you can see how underwater LEDs, uplit trees and warm deck lighting layer together.

Notice the temperature of the light — most of the best schemes keep the water cool and the surroundings warm — and how few fixtures are actually visible. Save the moods you want, not just the fittings.
