Adding a pool in your backyard not only bestows you with the relaxation point but also, provides your home a lovely and awesome landscape. But, all the beauty dematerializes after the sunset.

Adding lighting to water features in a yard or garden is one of the most attractive things you can do in your home landscape. Explore some ways to make your pond attractive with lights.

But make sure you are well equipped with the essential things like floating solar pond lights, floating lighted pond fountain, electric or solar, underwater pond light with transformer and electricity source.

With all the above things ready, we can easily begin to light up the pond. We now leave in the social light to float over the surface of the pond. These moving lights need no timer or switch. These lights are left to move freely over the surface of the pond and it illuminates with the fall of night, with the energy provided by the sun light during the day.

Market provides us a variety of clear and colored lights in various sizes, shapes and also in the shape of water lily and other aquatic plants. These lights are grouped like artificial plants or their attachments to lit up in the middle of the pond.

Place a floating lighted fountain in the center or deepest part of the pond for the double benefit of a light show with aeration. Fountains can give a variety of spray and light shows, come with control panels, timers, and cords, and will need an electric source and an anchor. Solar floating lighted fountains are a bit more expensive but worth the time-saving installation effort that is saved, as well as the electricity.

Install underwater pond lights around the edge of the pond just under the water for a more dramatic effect. Space lights one to three feet apart, depending on how much light is desired. Underwater lights require a fixture for the light, and a cable, plus a transformer and something to anchor the light in the pond, usually a cement weight or a stake secured well into the earth.

An outdoor GFCI receptacle will also be needed to plug in the underwater light cable. Mount an electric box to a post near the pond for easier accessibility, and encase the GFCI receptacle with a waterproof cover to be able to keep the light plugged in.
