Why Choose Pond Lighting?

When it comes to pond lighting, the lights can serve two purposes: safety and visual beauty. Pond lighting, when done correctly, will illuminate the edges of the water lighting pathways or steppingstones. By doing so, this illumination helps to keep people safe when moving around at night near the pond. Poor lighting can easily lead to a slip and fall and an injury.

On top of the safety elements, effective pond lighting can create a dramatic visual effect and highlight certain features of the pond. There are generally two types of pond lighting we can utilize for your yard. There is lighting that surrounds the pond's exterior and there is lighting that is underwater. Both options can lead to a beautiful presentation of your pond and yard.

For the most part, exterior pond light should be subdued white lights, which makes the surface of the water glow, accentuate a waterfall (if you have one) and illuminates a prized plant or other backyard feature. In most cases, pond lighting is installed at ground level along the shoreline of the pond. This way you get the most out of your lighting.

Underwater Pond Lighting

One of the more popular ways to light a pond includes hiding lights among any surrounding rocks or placing an underwater light near a waterfall. Underwater lighting is commonly used if you want to highlight fountains or sculptures near your pond. However, it is smart to use underwater lighting sparingly, because it is easy to add too much and make it tacky. And if you want the pond to reflect the moon, then steer away from underwater lighting. Our team will help you find the right balance of lighting and where to place them.
