Pool Deck Lighting

Warm deck lighting transforms a daytime pool into something worth being around after sunset. We design around how your pool area is actually used — dining, swimming, entertaining — with fixtures rated for the moisture and salt environment.

One operator. Same person designs, installs, and maintains your system. Not a subcontractor.

Custom design. Every plan is sketched on-site for your specific property.

Clean installs. Buried cable, hidden transformers, no exposed wiring.

What's Included

  • Pool coping accent lighting
  • Deck hardscape and paver wash lighting
  • Step and riser recessed lighting
  • In-deck low-voltage accent fixtures
  • Equipment zone functional lighting
  • Pool screen enclosure perimeter lighting

What It Costs

Starter deck accent (6–10 fixtures)$1,200–$2,800
Full deck + coping system (15–25 fixtures)$2,800–$5,500
Complete pool environment (30+ fixtures)$5,500–$9,000+

Pricing includes marine-grade fixtures, cable burial, and installation. Smart controller add-on: $150–$400.

How It Works

  1. Evening site visit — we evaluate the pool deck layout, existing electrical, enclosure type, and how you use the space after dark.
  2. Layered plan — ambient deck wash, coping accents, step lighting, and feature zones each serve a different purpose. We plan all layers.
  3. Installation and dusk aiming — all fixtures aimed at dusk, with you present, so you approve the result before we wrap up.

Built for Florida Pool Environments

Florida's pool environments present specific fixture challenges. Salt air (even inland pools have chlorinated splash), UV exposure, and high humidity degrade low-quality fixtures quickly. We specify marine-grade brass or UV-stabilized composite fixtures for all pool deck installs, and route cable away from irrigation zones and chemical storage areas. Pool screen enclosures also affect how light distributes — we account for the aluminum frame structure in fixture placement.

Why Choose Bright Arbor

Rooted in Central Florida

We know the local conditions, plant palette, and municipal codes. That experience shows in every install.

Precision Design

Every fixture aimed after dark so you see exactly what you are getting before we finish. No surprises.

Pro-Grade Fixtures

Brass and composite housings rated for Florida's UV and humidity. Built to last 15–20 years, not 3–5.

Workmanship Warranty

We stand behind every install. If something is not right in the first year, we come back and fix it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you light inside pool screen enclosures?
Yes — we route low-voltage cable through the frame and use fixtures appropriate for the lower ceiling heights. Screen enclosure lighting is one of our most common pool deck projects in Central Florida.
Can you add lighting to an existing pool deck?
Yes, in most cases we can add deck lighting without major excavation. We assess cable routing options and transformer capacity during the site visit.
What fixtures work around saltwater pools?
We use brass and UV-stabilized composite fixtures rated for wet and damp locations. For direct pool splash zones we specify IP65 or better ratings.
Will pool deck lighting increase my electric bill significantly?
Low-voltage LED pool deck systems typically add $8–$18/month to your electric bill running 5–6 hours nightly. Exact cost depends on fixture count and transformer wattage.
Can you match my existing landscape lighting?
In most cases yes — we can tie pool deck zones into your existing transformer if it has available capacity, or add a second transformer paired to your current controller.
Do you handle pool lighting permits?
Most low-voltage landscape lighting installs do not require permits in Central Florida municipalities. We verify this with your specific city or county during the estimate process.
