Energy-Efficient Pool Lighting — Supply & Installation

Transform Your Pool with Modern LED Lighting

A well-lit pool changes the entire character of your outdoor space. It extends your usable swimming hours into the evening, creates a stunning visual centrepiece for entertaining, and significantly improves safety around the pool area after dark. For Perth homeowners who love making the most of long summer evenings and balmy nights, pool lighting is one of the best investments you can make in your outdoor living area.

Modern LED pool lights have revolutionised what is possible. Where old halogen lights provided a single dim yellow glow and consumed significant electricity, today’s LED pool lights offer brilliant illumination in a range of colours, consume a fraction of the energy, and last decades rather than a couple of years.

Why Upgrade to LED Pool Lighting

Dramatic Energy Savings

Traditional halogen pool lights typically consume 300 to 500 watts of power. A comparable LED pool light produces the same or greater brightness using just 20 to 40 watts — a reduction of up to 90 percent. For Perth homeowners already managing high electricity costs, this is a meaningful saving on your power bill.

Running a single halogen pool light for four hours per evening at Perth electricity rates costs roughly $1.00 to $1.50 per night. The equivalent LED light costs approximately $0.10 to $0.15 per night. Over a year, the energy savings alone can be substantial, and the LED will still be running long after a halogen globe would have burned out.

Superior Light Quality

LED pool lights produce crisp, clear illumination that makes your pool water sparkle. White LED lights are available in cool white for a clean, modern look or warm white for a softer, more inviting ambience. Multi-colour LED lights allow you to switch between colours — blue, green, red, magenta, cyan, and more — or set the light to slowly cycle through colours automatically.

The effect of a well-lit pool at night is striking. The light reflects off the water surface and the pool floor, illuminating the entire pool area and creating a focal point that draws the eye from inside the house or from your outdoor entertaining area.

Exceptional Longevity

Quality LED pool lights from brands such as Spa Electrics, Pentair, and Zodiac are rated for 30,000 to 50,000 hours of operation. At four hours of use per evening, a 50,000-hour light will last more than 30 years. By comparison, halogen pool globes last 2,000 to 5,000 hours and need replacing every one to three years — often requiring a pool technician or electrician each time.

Pool Lighting Options We Supply and Install

Single Colour LED Lights

Available in cool white or warm white, these are the most affordable LED upgrade option. They provide bright, clean illumination and are ideal for homeowners who want reliable, low-maintenance lighting without the complexity of colour controls.

Multi-Colour LED Lights

Multi-colour (RGB) lights allow you to choose from a range of colours and lighting modes. Most models include static colour selection, colour cycling, and brightness adjustment via a wall-mounted controller or, in some models, a smartphone app. These are popular with Perth homeowners who enjoy entertaining and want to set different moods for different occasions.

Multi-Light Installations

Larger pools benefit from two or more lights positioned at opposite ends or along the length of the pool. Multiple lights eliminate dark spots and provide even illumination across the entire pool. We can install matching lights that synchronise their colour changes for a coordinated display.

Installation Process

Replacing Existing Lights

If your pool already has a light niche — the recessed housing built into the pool wall — upgrading to LED is straightforward. We remove the old halogen fitting and cable, install the new LED light and cable through the existing conduit, and connect it to the transformer. In many cases, the existing transformer needs to be replaced with one rated for the new LED light’s voltage and wattage requirements.

New Light Installations

For pools without existing light niches, we can install surface-mounted LED lights that sit flush against the pool wall without the need for a niche. These are particularly suited to fibreglass pools where cutting a niche into the shell is not practical. Surface-mount lights provide the same illumination quality as niche-mounted lights.

Electrical Compliance

All pool lighting installations in Australia must comply with the Australian Standard AS/NZS 3000 (Wiring Rules), which sets specific requirements for electrical equipment in and around swimming pools. This includes extra-low voltage supply (12V or 24V), proper earthing and bonding, and minimum clearance distances. We work with licensed Perth electricians to ensure every installation meets these requirements and passes inspection.

Pricing

Our pool lighting service is priced from $350 to $1,200 per light, which includes the light fitting, cable, transformer (if required), and professional installation. The price range reflects the difference between basic single-colour LED lights and premium multi-colour models with advanced controls.

• Single colour LED upgrade (replacing existing halogen): From $350
• Multi-colour LED upgrade (replacing existing halogen): From $600
• New light installation (surface mount, no existing niche): From $700
