LED pool lights are increasingly popular, but they come with a hefty price tag. With the cost of LED pool lights sitting at around three to four times the cost of a traditional pool light, we have to ask – are LED pool lights really worth the money?
The Benefits of LED Pool Lights
Longer Lasting
When it comes to lighting your pool, the last thing you want to do is replace bulbs every few months. LED pool lights can last up to 50,000 hours, which is around 10–15 years, depending on usage. This makes them more cost-effective in the long run.
Energy Efficiency
LED pool lights are highly energy efficient and use up to 80% less energy than traditional pool lights. This means that you save money on your energy bills over the long term compared to traditional lighting..
Environmentally Friendly
One of the biggest benefits of LED pool lights is that they are more environmentally friendly than traditional pool lights. LED lights don’t contain any toxic chemicals, so there’s no risk of polluting the environment (unlike traditional lights).
Variety of Colours
LED pool lights come in a wide variety of colours so that you can create the perfect ambience for your poolside. From a calming blue to a vibrant pink, you can easily find the perfect colour to suit your pool.
The Drawbacks of LED Pool Lights
High Initial Cost
As mentioned before, LED pool lights come with a hefty price tag. Although the initial cost is high, it’s worth considering the long-term savings you will make in the form of energy bills and bulb replacements.
Installation
Installing LED pool lights can be a tricky task, as you will need to make sure the wiring is done correctly. This can be costly, as you may need to hire a professional to do the job.
The Verdict
Taking all of the above into consideration, we’d argue that LED pool lights are worth the money. Not only are they more energy efficient and longer-lasting, but they also come in a wide variety of colours so that you can create the perfect ambience for your pool.
The only downside is the higher initial cost, but the long-term savings usually make this a worthwhile investment.
