Pool Lighting

The Fossa Electric lighting company offers pool lighting design and installation services in Moscow and other cities in Russia. We implement turnkey projects: from lighting design development to commissioning and start-up.

Sports swimming pools are equipped with natural and artificial light, and the lighting level must meet the established requirements, otherwise it will not be possible to pass the technical examination. Fossa Electric lighting engineers will carry out the necessary lighting calculations, develop a project for the main interior lighting and interior lighting of different zones, and perform professional installation of equipment with subsequent commissioning.

Artificial lighting lighting of the pool area

Artificial lighting of sports pools and swimming complexes is carried out taking into account the norms and requirements established by law. When designing lighting in a swimming pool, all zones available at the facility are taken into account.

Fossa Electric installs LED lights in all zones of the swimming center:

Main room with a pool bowl;
Staff rooms;
Changing rooms, showers and saunas;
Vestibules and entrance groups;
Spectator stands;
Lounge areas;
Dressing rooms.

Decorative water lighting is possible for the pool bowl. Interior lighting complements the overall lighting concept, creating a complete and harmonious look of the entire facility.

Fossa Electric can also take on architectural lighting on the facade of the pool building - to create bright and attractive outdoor lighting for the entire pool complex.

Fossa Electric provides comprehensive services, developing lighting projects from scratch, manufacturing lamps and performing installation. As part of the implementation, we carry out:

Design development;
Coordination of the necessary documentation with supervisory authorities;
Manufacture of lighting equipment and fastening systems;
Installation of lamps on site;
Checking and commissioning.

The specifics of the project implementation depend on the type of facility. For example, floodlights are always installed in open-air swimming pools, which allows for classes and competitions to be held in the dark. Indoor swimming pools combine natural and artificial lighting, while the light flux must be of a diffusing nature so as not to create glare from the water that would disturb spectators and make it difficult to film.

Decorative lighting of water in the pool

Decorative lighting is used for decoration purposes, to give the bowl an aesthetically pleasing appearance. We use RGB LED strips with customizable lighting scenarios, special underwater spotlights or fiber optics. It is possible to use smart control to configure different lighting modes.

For architectural lighting of the pool, we use different types of lighting:

General - creates the main level of illumination, we place lighting fixtures on the walls and ceilings;
Local - highlights a separate area from the general lighting, for example, a decorative waterfall, stairs, elements of architectural design;
Contour - works well for bowls of atypical shapes, we can focus attention not only on geometry, but also on depth.

To implement such design solutions, spot, built-in and overhead lights are used.

Standards and requirements for pool lighting

The basic provisions regarding the installation of lighting in the pool are set out in the following regulatory documents:

SP 52.13330.2016;
SP 310.1325800.2017;
SP 31-113-2004;
SanPiN 2.2.1/2.1.1.1278 and 2.2.1/2.1.1.1076.

Based on these documents, four types of lighting are used in pools: natural, artificial (main), emergency, evacuation. Regardless of the type of pool complex, the installation of lighting equipment is carried out in such a way as to ensure quick access to the lamps for maintenance and replacement.

Underwater lighting devices must have a moisture protection level of at least IP68. The class of above-water lamps is IP67. The electrical wiring is supplemented with high-quality waterproofing, especially in the areas of connections.

Natural light in the pool

Provided by light openings, the area of which varies within 12%-16% depending on the layout of the lighting fixtures. For uniform illumination, the light openings are made strip-shaped, placed at a height of at least 2 meters from the paths.

Standards for artificial lighting in the pool complex

The illumination level is measured in lux. Depending on the type of pool and operating conditions, different indicators are used:

Diving pools - at least 600 lux at 1 meter above the water level;
For water polo competitions - from 600 lux;
For competitive swimming competitions - 1,500 lux;
For indoor and outdoor pools on the water surface - 150 and 100 lux, respectively;
Horizontal illumination - 50 and 150 lx for outdoor pools and preparation rooms.

Additionally, the following established requirements are taken into account:

Object type	Horizontal illuminance level in lux at water/floor level	Combined discomfort index	Flicker effect
Physical education and health swimming complexes;	100-150	24	Up to 20%
Bowls in private baths and saunas	100		Not regulated
Showers	75		Not regulated

Features of pool lighting

Decorative lighting of water in the pool can significantly improve the overall appearance and atmosphere of the pool, creating unique effects and giving it a special charm. What to consider when installing decorative pool lighting:

There are several types of lighting fixtures that can be used for pool lighting, such as LED underwater lights, halogen lamps, filters with lighting, etc. The most popular and energy efficient are LED lights.
Modern LED pool lights usually offer the ability to change the color scheme, which allows you to create various effects and customize the lighting according to the mood or event.
For ease of use and customization of the lighting, it is important to choose lights with control systems such as remote controls, touch panels or smartphone apps.
When choosing and installing decorative pool lighting, special attention should be paid to safety and compliance with electrical codes and regulations.
To achieve uniform and aesthetic lighting of the pool, it is recommended to correctly distribute the lights over the entire area of the pool and take into account its shape and depth.
In addition to general pool lighting, you can use decorative lighting to create various effects, such as lighting waterfalls, fountains, decorative elements, etc.

Pool lighting design

LED lighting for a pool is developed in several stages:

We visit the site to obtain initial data, evaluate the characteristics buildings on site;
We prepare a computer model in 3D visualization format using the actual characteristics of the lamps;
We develop a technical specification with a justification for the location of the lamps and the level of illumination;
We order the necessary lighting equipment and fasteners from our own production;
We prepare engineering and design documentation, if necessary, we coordinate the project;
We carry out the installation of equipment.
