Slash your energy bills with LED pool lights

Britestream LED lights have a lifespan of 70,000 hours. That means if you kept them switched on for six hours a day, they'd last 30 years!

There’s something special about taking a refreshing dip in a pool on a warm summer’s night – even better when you’re bathed in bright blue, red or green light! Pool lighting really does provide hours of entertainment, and not just for the kids. And, like garden lights, they highlight special features you wouldn’t normally see after dark.

Available in flush-mounted or wall mounted fittings, LEDs (light emitting diodes) have revolutionised the lighting industry over the past 10-15 years with their low energy usage and long-lasting quality. And although they’re usually more expensive, LEDs use just 15 watts of energy. That's about 15 per cent of the power consumed by a standard underwater halogen light. They also emit light in a specific direction, and don’t create the same amount of heat.

Britestream LED lights bring your pool to life

Swimart’s Britestream range is among the brightest on the market. Their super-bright LEDs are capable of delivering 352 lumens. (FYI, a lumen is the measure of the total amount of visible light to the human eye from a lamp or light source. The higher the lumen rating, the “brighter” the lamp will appear.)

They're also built to last with a lifespan of 70,000 hours. To put that in perspective, if you ran your lights for six hours a day, they'd last 30 years. There's a pretty good chance you'll need to replace your pool before you need to replace the lights!

Britestream lights are designed so you can easily replace your existing halogen pool lights and, thus, slash your pool light electrical power requirements by 85 per cent. The Britestream LED Replacement Kit includes a retrofit connector and a universal pool light adaptor, cleverly designed to adapt the Britestream to convert a majority of light fittings.

BriteLUX Diffuser Lens improves light output by 50 per cent

The revolutionary BriteLUX Diffuser Lens radiates light throughout the entire circumference of the lens, improving the light’s luminosity by 50 per cent in comparison to standard LED light lens.

Available in new installation kits, and replacement light kits that can be used to upgrade older halogen or LED pool lights, the BriteLUX lens is engineered to significantly boost colour saturation and increase light transmission.

Special features include:

  • Superior optical properties
  • Enhanced colour saturation
  • Light diffusing particles for even illumination
  • More light means less LED fittings for swimming pool installations
  • Engineered to diffuse hot spots while maintaining very high light transmission
  • Reduced power usage and environmental efficiencies
  • Robust construction for long life
  • Available in White and Multicoloured options

 Installing LED pool lights in your pool not only looks great at night but also creates a striking ambiance when you’re entertaining. Your pool becomes a focal point, even when no one is swimming in it.
