Key takeaways

A pool is a mirror at night, so what surrounds it matters too.

The water

Underwater LED lights give the water a clean glow, and color makes it a party.

The edges

Steps, rails and edges should be clearly visible.

The surroundings

Lit trees and walls reflect in the water and double the effect. Try colors on a real pool yard in the LED Color Studio.
