Fiber optic lighting uses large core optical fiber cable.
Light is directed from a light source away from the pool through the fibers.
End lighting, which creates a glow in the pool, lights unbroken cascades of falling water and illuminates landscape features, is created where the light is emitted at the end of the fiber. Perimeter lighting is when the fiber emits light from the side as well as the end of the fiber. Such lighting is used for outlining, accentuating a feature or for dramatic design. Not only does fiber optics eliminate electrical danger, but the latest technology in fiber optic brings as much color as a Rembrandt palette to lighting pools, says Dominick Solitario, general manager for the South Daytona office of Blue Haven Pools, a national company. You can bring a pool alive with colors, at night when people are using the pool.
