You’ll enjoy hours of nighttime fun with a well-lit pool, and today’s lights offer plenty of options for safe swimming, lower wattage, and special effects. Among the LED choices on our list is the innovative Intex, which is held on the wall of an above-ground pool via 2 magnets, the outer of which stays dry and plugs into an outlet. If you’re in the market for an incandescent selection, it’s hard to go wrong with the tried-and-true Pentair Amerlite, which typically holds up for years and brings plenty of light. For a backyard show sure to please all your guests, look to the Aliyeah RGB, which offers 14 color-changing programs that can be set via its handy remote control. Note that no matter which one you go with, you should hire a professional, licensed electrician for installation. In addition, the Consumer Products Safety Commission recommends you have a ground-fault circuit-interrupter installed with your pool light to detect any loss of current and prevent a lethal amount of electricity from reaching swimmers.
