LED lighting, now ubiquitous, is also used in swimming pools, water parks and theme parks. IP68-certified underwater LEDs resistant to chlorine and salt; submersible LED strips on edges, steps and hydromassage areas; rain-resistant LED spotlights with IP65/IP67 protection on façades or outdoor perimeter areas; even pixelable LEDs combined with intelligent control systems to create images, complex animations, colour sequences in precise synchronisation with music… As you can see, there are many solutions available for use in swimming pools, water parks and theme parks.
The choice of one solution or another always depends on the type of attraction, the depth of the water, maintenance requirements and the environmental experience you want to create. In residential and hotel pools, RGB and COB LEDs safely and aesthetically illuminate steps, edges and large volumes of water. On slides and water attractions, they enable colour animations controlled by computer programmes. For fountains and decorative areas, music-synchronised RGBW LEDs are the heart of night-time shows.
This technology provides safety and visibility in night-time environments. It offers exceptional durability against water, chlorine, salt and temperature changes, and is highly energy efficient, with consumption up to 80% lower than halogen technologies. In addition, it allows for great flexibility and customisation, with millions of colours and dynamic effects that can be controlled remotely. At the same time, it requires little maintenance thanks to its long service life.
