Perimeter lighting in pools is also available and creates an outline of the pool shape or water line through the use of SideGlow or Nexxus  fiber optic cable, track and an illuminator. The  cable is applied to a track that is placed under the coping of the pool or spa. Perimeter/Step Lighting will enhance the overall design of the pools shape or unique features. In darker pools the cables reflection on the waters surface will create a dramatic “double line” effect.

his lighting method  is also an excellent choice for steps or risers as both a safety feature or aesthetic enhancement which can draw attention to changes in elevations. It should be considered for decorative or safety lighting purposes only and is not an alternative for underwater illumination; however the light emitted from the cable is sufficient to illuminate from under the riser onto a lower steps tread. It can also be used underwater to highlight swim lanes or other creative designs.
