Having a water fountain is a splendid feature of a home, garden or outdoor space. Adding
landscape lighting turns it into a dramatic night time focal point. Interactive fountains are a
great way to add ambiance and tranquility. The light glimmers and dances with the water; it's
truly magical. With Amoray Underwater LED Lights, you have a rainbow of color options in
one light fixture including bright white.
3. Lights Placement
When designing light around a water fountain, you'll want to minimize the glare
with correct fixture placement. For example, you do not wish to put in the lights
and later discover you've created a glaring hazard as people walk by. Also, how the
light is positioned can determine the mood of the space; it ought to enhance the
feeling of serenity.
4. Consider the Space and Distinctive Ways to Add Light
In several cases, strategically placed submersible lights are used to light a fountain. This
creates shadowing effects and makes the water feature visually captivating. But, it’s not
always necessary to submerse lights into the water to achieve these interesting effects.
Consider the surrounding space. If you have a large tree nearby, you may incorporate
down lights that shine onto your feature from above. Multiple light sources make the
space more intriguing.
5. Fixtures & Wires
Lighting a water feature, like a fountain, is tough. Most fountains are designed to
be viewed from multiple angles. You'll want the lighting fixtures to be hidden as
much as possible, and not deflect from the fountain. If feasible, it works best to
wire in the fixtures while the fountain is being assembled. Otherwise, some
elements might need to be disassembled and reassembled to camouflage wires
and fixtures.
6. Water Plays a Major Factor
With all types of lighting fixtures, the connections, wires, and components
should be properly sealed and watertight to prevent problems. With water
features – fountains particularly– the fixtures and its components are
submerged under water. You'll run into problems if these fixtures are not
correctly sealed during installation.
