Penguin Pools puts one standard 500w light into each one of our pool packages. While Pentiar lights are strong, we still recommend putting a second light in if your pool is over 36′ long. By putting in the second light for larger pools, it prevents having “shadows” in the corners of the pool.
There are two main types of swimming pool lighting now that fiber-optic lighting is getting phased out.
- LED Lighting
- Incandescent Lighting

1 Incadescent Light = 2 LED Lights
LED Lighting – Pentair IntelliBrite

LED Lighting is the latest and greatest when it comes to swimming pool lighting. It allows you to have different colors, uses less electricity, and is brighter.
Pentiar’s IntelliBrite automated color-changing pool and spa lights feature LED technology is the wave of the future in energy efficiency, lifetime value, quality of light, and automation.
Pentair likes these lights as they can last over 30,000 hours which minimizes replacement costs and disposal.
