Lighting & Equipment Upgrades
Swapping dated lights and equipment for color LED, variable-speed pumps and app control so the pool is cheaper to run and better to use at night.
Understanding lighting & equipment upgrades
Older pools were built around single-speed pumps and incandescent lights. Both are energy hogs, and the lights burn out on a schedule you can set a calendar by.
An upgrade replaces those with LED fixtures—white or full color—and modern equipment: variable-speed pumps, efficient heaters, and a controller that runs it all from your phone.
Because a renovation already has the pool drained and the pad exposed, it is the cheapest moment to make these changes.
What homeowners notice
- Pool light is dim, yellowed, flooded or simply dead
- Single-speed pump that runs loud and drives up the power bill
- No way to change lights, heat or cleaning times without walking to the pad
- Equipment that predates the pool’s last renovation
- You want color lighting or scenes for evening use
What Eden does
Electrical and pad review
We verify bonding, grounding, GFCI protection and existing conduit before recommending fixtures or equipment.
Fixture and equipment selection
We match LED niches, pump sizing and any automation panel to your pool’s volume, features and how you actually use it.
Installation
Old fixtures and equipment come out, new units are installed and plumbed or wired to code.
Automation setup
Schedules, lighting scenes and heater setpoints are programmed and linked to the app.
Walkthrough
We run everything with you at night so you can see the lighting and know how to change it.
Common questions
How long does it take?
A light swap is often same-day; a full equipment and automation upgrade usually takes one to three days.
How long do LED pool lights last?
Typically 15,000-30,000 hours—many years of normal evening use compared to a season or two for incandescent.
What affects the cost?
Number of fixtures, whether existing conduit can be reused, pump and heater sizing, and the automation tier you choose.
