Outdoor Pond Lighting

Have you ever wondered why outdoor pond lighting seems to be on the rise? One of the best reasons is that homeowners are more aware than ever about the art of accessorizing the home, property and neighborhood.

Whether you have put in the pleasurable time to build a pond in the yard or it was there when you bought the property, you definitely want to show it off. That is the purpose of pond lights. They let people know the whereabouts of the pond, special features you want them to notice, and help make it one of the best accessories to your landscaping design.

Lighting Tips

Reduce electrical use by connecting your outdoor lighting systems to a timer that turns the lights on and off at the time you choose. If your pond is designed to ripple or make waves, put submersible lights under the motion to create a varied display of lights and design.

Maximize the lighting by:

• Leaving open space for submersible lights so they are not covered


• Emphasizing special features, such as a waterfall, lily pads and other plant life with a single light for that item


• Keeping the pool clean so the lights are clear

Types of Lights

Perhaps some people want white lights only in their landscaping theme, including outdoor pond lighting.

Fortunately, there are smart business owners and manufacturers who know how to make a package that provides what consumers want, particularly the homeowners that tell others where to get the accessories for a project.

Exterior lights start as white with a clear lens, and quickly change to a variety of colors with snap on color caps.

LED outdoor pond lighting is energy efficient and makes a beautiful spot light. Switch colors with the yellow, blue, red or green colored lenses.

The 12-volt transformer reduces traditional household power to that of a car battery, making the lights safer.

Light-sensitive photocell timers automatically turn the lights on at dusk and off at dawn. That eliminates the need to wonder if you remembered to shut off the lights when you are halfway to work.

Another elegant way of bringing color to the pond is by using a fully-submersible halogen pond light, created for dramatic scenery and beautiful lighting, with colors provided by snap on lenses of teal, blue, red, and yellow. The lights are merely one and a half inches in diameter, but the intensity is incredible.

Solar lights also bring a cacophony of brilliance to outdoor pond lighting. One of the most inventive things to come to solar lighting in the past decades is the ability of color-changing illumination. Let the new unit charge in the sun, put it in your pond and watch the beautiful lights change as the light floats across the water.

Rainbow colors dance across the water, including indigo, orange and violet. If your pond is located in a shadowy or dark area, remove the light during the day and place it in the sun to recharge for about four hours. Then place it back into the water.
