Find answers to common questions about our LED strip lighting products, installation, and maintenance.
It’s certainly not a “must-have”, it wasn’t even an option which would come up on people’s mind most of the time. The reality is it’s not about necessity, it’s about the experience, it’s about changing the feel of a pool, taking it from updated to transformed.
When planned correctly, the process can be straightforward:
Step 1: Design and decide where the strip lights will have the most impact.
Step 2: Leave space for channels at the construction stage, so the strips can remain hidden.
Step 3: Choose the right models based on their installation location, underpool or above pool surface.
Strip light varies depends on its installation and applications. Not all are crafted to the same standards. Inexpensive models can be found easily from online platforms, but they are rarely suitable for pool application. Premature failure, uneven illumination, fading & cracking of low quality material, and lack of seamless look pool users expect are some of the common issues. Professional grade models come with higher initial cost but save you trouble for maintenance and replacement which delivers far greater value in the long run.
