Illuminate Your Pool with Style, Safety, and Efficiency
At Sunkissed Pools And Spas, we specialize in bringing new life to inground pools and spas across Charlotte and surrounding North Carolina communities. Whether your pool lighting is outdated, broken, or simply not as bright as it used to be, we can transform it with modern LED and smart lighting technology.
Many older pools still use halogen or incandescent lighting with large, outdated housings. Replacing or retrofitting these systems with modern LED fixtures provides brighter, more efficient, and longer-lasting illumination — often without major renovations.
We evaluate your current setup and recommend the best retrofit solution, whether you have vinyl liner, fiberglass, or a plunge pool. Even in older vinyl, fiberglass, and plunge pools — delivering modern lighting that’s brighter, longer-lasting, and far more energy efficient. Our upgrades also integrate seamlessly with smart controls, giving you full command over color, brightness, and schedules.
Why Upgrade Your Pool or Spa Lighting?
Upgrading your pool lighting isn’t just about looks — it’s about safety, performance, and energy savings. Modern underwater lighting systems can completely change how your pool feels and functions at night.
Key Benefits of a Lighting Upgrade

Brighter, More Even Lighting: Advanced optics eliminate dark spots and improve underwater visibility.

Color & Mood Options: Choose soft white tones or full RGBW color-changing systems to match your evening mood or special occasion.
-
Enhanced Safety: Proper lighting improves visibility on steps, benches, and pool edges.
-
Smart Controls: Adjust brightness, colors, or pre-programmed light shows from your smartphone or pool automation system.

Energy Efficiency: LED pool lights use up to 85–90% less electricity than older incandescent or halogen bulbs.

Longer Lifespan: Most LED lights last 20,000–50,000 hours, reducing maintenance costs.
