Athens Luxury Hotel Swimming Pool LED Lighting Project

Athens Luxury Hotel Swimming Pool LED Lighting Project – Courtyard Pool Upgrade

This project showcases how Cyangourd Lighting helped a five-star neoclassical boutique hotel in Athens, Greece upgrade its central courtyard swimming pool with high-efficiency LED swimming pool lights. The hotel wanted a more impressive night atmosphere, safer underwater visibility and lower energy consumption, without disturbing the elegant classical façade. As a professional wholesale LED swimming pool light manufacturer, supplier and factory, Cyangourd provided a complete design-to-delivery solution for the entire pool area.

Project Background & Lighting Requirements

The original lighting used aging halogen fixtures installed more than ten years ago. The hotel management reported several issues: uneven illumination on the pool floor, high power consumption, frequent lamp failures and a “yellowish” color that did not match the warm exterior wall lights. In addition, the pool is surrounded by guest rooms and balconies, so the lighting needed to be bright underwater but comfortable and glare-free for guests relaxing around the deck.

During the on-site survey, Cyangourd’s engineering team defined four key goals for the new system:
– Create a calm, luxurious blue water surface that matches the hotel’s five-star positioning.
– Improve visibility on steps and along the pool edge for night swimming safety.
– Reduce maintenance by switching to long-life IP68 waterproof LED fixtures.
– Use safe 12V low-voltage power and corrosion-resistant materials suitable for daily operation.

Lighting Solution Designed by Cyangourd Lighting

Based on the pool dimensions and water depth, the team recommended a combination of wall-mounted resin filled LED swimming pool lights and a small number of nicheless step lights around the shallow entrance. The selected fixtures used high-brightness SMD LEDs with an efficiency of around 100 lm/W, providing strong, uniform underwater illumination while keeping the electrical load within the hotel’s existing 12V transformer capacity.

For the main pool body, the hotel chose a comfortable cool white / soft blue tone, while several units near architectural details were configured as RGB color-changing lights for flexible event lighting. With simple controller presets, the hotel can switch between:
– Classic cool-white mode for daily operation,
– Deep-blue mode for late-night ambience,
– Dynamic RGB scenes for weddings, cocktail parties and private events.

Materials, Safety & Waterproof Reliability

To handle the Greek climate and pool chemistry, Cyangourd specified housings made from 316 stainless steel and high-impact PC lenses, combined with 100% resin filled internal sealing for key underwater fixtures. This structure provides strong resistance to chlorine, cleaning agents and temperature changes, and eliminates condensation that can shorten the life of ordinary lights.

All fixtures used in this project are rated IP68 for continuous underwater use and operate on AC/DC 12V for maximum electrical safety in wet environments. Before shipment, each batch passed waterproof testing, aging tests and lumen stability checks in Cyangourd’s laboratory to ensure long-term reliability for the hotel’s operation.

Installation Coordination & On-Site Commissioning

To minimize impact on guests, the installation was scheduled during a short low-occupancy period. Cyangourd’s engineers worked closely with the local electrical contractor, providing wiring diagrams, mounting details and remote technical support throughout the process.

Existing halogen fittings were removed and replaced using compatible mounting hardware, which avoided structural changes to the historic pool shell. New underwater cables were routed to the junction boxes, sealed with waterproof glands and connected to upgraded 12V transformers. After installation, the team carried out nighttime commissioning to balance brightness, adjust beam angles and fine-tune RGB scenes so that the water surface, building façade and surrounding plants all appeared harmonious in the courtyard space.

Final Lighting Effect & Guest Feedback

After the upgrade, the central pool now presents a deep, crystal-blue surface with clearly visible tiles on the bottom and well-defined step edges, greatly improving safety for evening swimmers. The reflection of the neoclassical balconies in the water adds a high-end visual effect that has already appeared in the hotel’s latest marketing photos and social-media campaigns.

Hotel management reported a significant reduction in maintenance work and energy consumption compared with the old halogen system. Guests have described the courtyard as “more romantic” and “Instagram-friendly”, and the events team now uses the RGB LED pool lights to create customized color themes for weddings and private parties.

Why the Athens Hotel Chose Cyangourd Lighting

The client selected Cyangourd Lighting after comparing several suppliers, mainly because of:
– Focus on LED swimming pool lights with proven projects in Europe and the Middle East.
– Ability to provide wholesale factory pricing together with engineering-level design support.
– Complete range of ABS, stainless steel, resin filled and nicheless fixtures for different zones of the pool.
– Reliable delivery time and strict quality control, including CE and RoHS compliant products.

With this Athens project, Cyangourd again demonstrated its capability as a professional wholesale LED swimming pool light manufacturer, supplier and factory, helping hotel owners upgrade lighting quality while controlling long-term operating costs.
