Adding Lighting to Your Fountain

Lighted fountains are not just for commercial ponds and lakes, but they can also be used in residential settings.

If your pond is located at an entrance to your home or complex, then a lighted fountain can illuminate both the waterworks as well as information signs to your complex. For ponds, which are located behind your residence, lighting gives you the ability to enjoy your pond both during the night as well as during the day.

You can use underwater lamps or lamps mounted elsewhere to light fountains. To add color, you can purchase light fixtures, which include different colored lenses, or purchase the colored lenses separately if you already have the lights. While many basic lighting schemes include a single lens, if you prefer a more elaborate display, then you can use multiple colors simultaneously or that are automatically changed on a timer.

The cost of lighted fountains varies greatly depending on the type and style of the lighting system you install. For a cost efficient system, consider installing low voltage lamps mounted on the surface, over the high voltage underwater lights. However, if you prefer the look of underwater lights, then the effect is worth the
additional cost. In addition to the cost of the lighting, you can expect your electric bill to increase. For an approximation as to how much, you will need to discuss this with a knowledgeable salesperson or the manufacturer, depending on where you purchase your fountain.

Using Lighted Fountains to Get Customers to Notice You:

The key to increasing sales is to attract more customers. One way to do this is with a lighted fountain, which will differentiate your business from any other in the vicinity. No matter what type of business you operate, an illuminated fountain will capture people's attention. This can be especially useful if your business
is located on or near a major road. Drivers are more likely to notice you as they pass by and many will stop, if for no other reason than to get a better look at your fountain.
