NATATORIUM LIGHTING
Proper natatorium lighting is essential for ensuring safety, visibility, and comfort in aquatic environments where moisture, humidity, and reflective surfaces create unique challenges. Glare, shadowing, and corrosion resistance must all be addressed to support swimmers, lifeguards, and spectators alike. LSI’s high-performance LED lighting solutions are specifically designed to thrive in these demanding conditions. Our enclosed and gasketed fixtures, like the EG3 series, deliver bright, uniform illumination with long-lasting durability and low maintenance requirements. Engineered for wet locations and high humidity, LSI’s LED natatorium lighting enhances visibility and safety while improving energy efficiency for aquatic facilities.

INDOOR POOL
Lighting a natatorium requires careful consideration of high humidity, reflective water surfaces, and safety for swimmers and staff. Indoor pool lighting must provide bright, uniform illumination while minimizing glare off the water and condensation on fixtures. LED lighting is ideal for natatoriums because it resists moisture, offers instant-on capabilities, and maintains consistent performance in warm, damp environments. Properly placed fixtures help lifeguards clearly see the pool bottom, enhance visibility for swimmers, and reduce eyestrain during competitive or recreational use.
OUTDOOR POOL
Outdoor pool lighting must balance aesthetic appeal with functional safety. Illumination should be evenly distributed to cover swimming areas, pool decks, and surrounding walkways without creating dark zones or harsh shadows. LEDs are well-suited for outdoor pools due to their weather resistance, low energy use, and customizable beam angles. With the right placement and light levels, outdoor LED pool lighting enhances evening usability, improves swimmer visibility, and creates a safer, more inviting environment for both private and public aquatic spaces.
AQUATIC FACILITY
Aquatic facilities—whether indoor or outdoor—require robust, reliable lighting systems that accommodate swimmers, lifeguards, and spectators. These environments are often multi-use, supporting competitive meets, leisure swimming, and training sessions. LED lighting provides superior color rendering and glare control, which is critical for lifeguards and safety personnel. Additionally, advanced control options allow facilities to adjust light levels based on events, time of day, or occupancy, improving energy efficiency while maintaining safety and comfort. Durable, long-lasting LEDs are built to withstand high moisture levels, chemical exposure, and temperature fluctuations typical in aquatic settings.
