What is the standard for underwater lighting brightness in a swimming pool and how is it designed?
The brightness standard of underwater lighting in swimming pools is mainly determined based on the purpose, size, water depth, and required visual effects of the pool. The lighting design should be evenly distributed throughout the entire swimming pool area, avoiding significant contrast or shadow areas. By arranging the position and quantity of lighting fixtures reasonably, it is possible to achieve uniform distribution of light in the swimming pool. Here are some basic requirements and suggestions for the brightness of underwater swimming pool lighting:
The standard requirement for underwater lighting brightness in swimming pools: for ordinary swimming pools, the national standard illuminance requirement is above 200LX; For professional training and competition use swimming pools, the illumination at a depth of 1 meter below the water surface usually needs to reach 500LX or above to ensure that athletes and spectators can clearly see the situation in the water.
Anti glare requirement: Due to the generation of waves during swimming, the reflection of light within the range of the waves can cause glare. Therefore, in lighting design, this glare should be minimized, such as using lampshades with layered refraction, biomimetic honeycomb, and curved lenses.
Color effect requirements for underwater swimming pool lighting: Modern swimming pools not only have LED white light color temperature, but also rainbow RGB colors. Different colored lights can create different atmospheres and visual effects. This type of swimming pool generally does not require high brightness and is mainly used for party entertainment and leisure.
The brightness requirements for underwater lighting in swimming pools need to fully consider the attenuation of light propagation in water during design, and try to choose a higher illuminance; The layout of lighting fixtures should be reasonable to avoid problems such as glare and shadows; At the same time, the brightness and color can be customized according to the requirements of the swimming pool lighting effect.
