Pool lighting can be divided into three main types. General lighting that illuminates the pool deck and paths so you can wander safely after dark. Then there is underwater lighting that is useful for swimming after dark as well as creating cool night time lighting effects. Finally, there is accent lighting that is generally used to add atmosphere to the poolside setting.
Fibre optic lighting is becoming a popular option for pools. This doesn't carry any electrical current, rather fibres of light move through the cable. It offers a wide range of both colours and styles of light - this variety can be used to create multi-colour special effects. Even if you have an older pool, it can probably be retrofitted to support fibre optic lighting.
