Dubai Resort Swimming Pool Lighting Project

Dubai Resort Swimming Pool Lighting Project – RGB LED Pool Light Upgrade

This project showcases how Cyangourd Lighting helped a luxury beachfront resort in Dubai, United Arab Emirates upgrade its outdoor swimming pool lighting system. By replacing aging halogen fixtures with high-efficiency RGB LED swimming pool lights, the resort achieved brighter and more uniform illumination, reduced maintenance workload and created a premium night-time atmosphere for guests relaxing around the main resort pool.

Project Background – A Large Freeform Resort Pool by the Beach

The resort’s main pool is a large freeform design located close to the shoreline, surrounded by deck chairs, palm trees and guest rooms. The original lighting system used 300W halogen lamps installed many years ago. Over time, the client reported several issues: uneven brightness, frequent lamp failures, high electricity bills and increased maintenance costs. In addition, the colour temperature of the old lamps made the water look dull and less attractive in guests’ photos and social media posts.

The resort management set clear goals for the upgrade:

• Enhance night-time visual appeal for marketing photos and guest experience.
• Improve safety with brighter, more uniform underwater lighting along pool edges and steps.
• Reduce energy consumption and maintenance frequency compared with halogen lamps.
• Use reliable products suitable for high temperature, salty sea air and intensive daily operation.

Lighting Solution by Cyangourd Lighting

After reviewing pool drawings, site photos and electrical layouts, the engineering team at Cyangourd Lighting recommended a customised solution based on our wall-mounted RGB LED swimming pool light series. The final proposal combined multiple wattages to match different water depths and zones around the freeform pool.

Key features of the selected fixtures included:

• High-efficiency SMD LEDs delivering up to 100 lm/W for bright, energy-saving illumination.
• IP68 waterproof resin-filled or sealed structure for long-term underwater reliability.
• 12V low-voltage operation with remote transformer for improved electrical safety.
• RGB color changing modes with smooth transitions and static colour selection.
• 316 stainless steel or high-grade PC housings for corrosion resistance in coastal environments.

The system was designed so that all LED swimming pool lights could be controlled in groups, allowing the resort to switch between calm warm white, bright cool white or dynamic RGB scenes for events, weekend parties or holiday celebrations.

Installation & Commissioning

To minimise disturbance to guests, installation was scheduled during off-peak occupancy periods and completed mostly at night. Existing niches and cable routes were reused wherever possible to reduce civil work. Cyangourd’s technical team provided detailed wiring diagrams, transformer selection guidance and step-by-step commissioning instructions to the local contractor.

Main on-site tasks included:

• Removing old halogen fixtures and inspecting each conduit and junction box.
• Installing new LED pool lights with stainless-steel mounting bases and waterproof glands.
• Connecting the 12V transformers in a dedicated control room with proper overload protection.
• Grouping fixtures into separate zones (shallow area, deep area, spa corner and children’s section).
• Testing RGB synchronisation, remote control response and preset lighting scenes.

Final Lighting Effect & Guest Feedback

After the upgrade, the Dubai resort’s pool area achieved a noticeably more vibrant and high-end appearance. In white mode, the water surface looks clear and bright, improving visibility along edges, steps and ladders. In RGB mode, the pool can smoothly switch between deep blue, turquoise, magenta and other colours, creating a striking visual focus against the dark night sky.

The resort reported:

• Significant reduction in energy consumption compared with the previous halogen system.
• Fewer service calls from maintenance staff due to the long lifetime of LED pool lights.
• Positive guest comments about the upgraded pool ambience and better night-time photos.
• Improved safety perception around the pool deck thanks to more uniform underwater light distribution.
