Pool Lights

[Simmons99]

IMO - it sounds like you really want the Jazz lights - are they more expensive? When we had our pool built we tried to do everything we could afford - if you are going to spend $40K on a pool - why not spend and extra $10k and have no regrets about it later.

Jinx,

You have never discussed what type of pool finish you plan to put in the pool. Plaster, aggregate....???? I start construction on my pool next week. 36 x 22 IG gunite w/ white plaster. I have a neighbor that has the SunStone select aggregate finish (Darker blue/green finish). Not sure of the true name (emerald/pearl/etc.). Anyways, my wife and I could not find an aggregate light enough for our liking. Long story short, our neighbor has the Color Logics by Hayward (3 in pool, 1 in spa). they light up his pool just fine. Even with the darker aggregate, the light does penetrate and is very vibrant. We also have chosen the Color Logic Lights. I have not seen the Jazz Lights in action, so I can't give comparison. However, my wife and I were thoroughly impressed with the 5 or 6 pools (All Color Logic Lights) we looked at before choosing our builder. Good Luck. Send pics after you decide and finish your build. I will do the same for comparison.

We are also going with white plaster. Its a 44x24 gunite pool. The builder recomends the Color Logic lights but in reading about the Jazz lights I thought they sounded really cool. The 3 year bulb warentee and 10,000 hour bulb life sounds like a good deal. However I have heard so many people say that the Color Logics are great too. Its one of those decisions that is hard to make cause the two lights are so different. And its not something that can be easily changed if Im not happy. LED or Metal Halide ???? hmmmmm

Jinx, my pool should be completed by the end of this week............in pool builder terms that is probably two to three weeks, but we can cross our fingers....as soon as it is done, I will send some pics with the grey/blue pebble sheen....hope it will help...I was able to get a picture of the color logic with a gray pebble surface...this is not my pool, but this gives you an idea of the brightness...I will post when my pool is done....

we have two color logic lights with a dark vinyl liner and it show up great. They have the 7 colors + 5 programs to give you that moody or disco effect. They once went out of snyc but it took less than 15 seconds to get them back together. If you are looking for a lighting system that is very bright then I wouldnt recommend this system, its more of a glow than a spotlight. Then again, if you have a lighter liner it may be different. One note is that our stainless steek screws in the color logic lights have started rusting, we have an SWG, salt is a 2900 ppm, so make sure you get a good batch of screws.

I do want a bright light. One that illuminates the water in color. It seems at this point that the Jazz lights are what im leaning towards. Im hesitating cause I havent heard from anyone here who has the Jazz lights and has rated them as being good or not. I only have a week to decide so, any help on this decision would be much appreciated!!
