What is LED Lighting Supply Natatorium Lighting?

Natatorium Rated Light Fixtures are designed for use in indoor swimming pool facilities. They have special coatings that make them capable of operating in the swimming pool environment. These commercial indoor pool lights are designed to last for a long time without maintenance.

The most common color temperature options in natatoriums are 4000K or 5000K. 5000K is a good replacement for metal halide fixtures. We offer both color options for our Natatorium Rated Commercial Swimming Pool Lights. We also offer color temperature adjustable lighting so you can change the color temperature after you install them.

All the fixtures we have listed here are all IP65-rated or above. The IP rating tests how waterproof and dust-proof a fixture is.

If glare is a concern, frosted lens covers are a good tactic to reduce glare. This is something we do a lot on sports courts and gymnasium installations as well, so they are ideal for public pools.

What are the Benefits of Using LED Lighting Supply Natatorium Lighting Fixtures for Indoor Pools?

Natatorium LED lights have several advantages over metal halide and fluorescent lighting

• Natatorium Rated Light Fixtures: our lights include commercial grade epoxy and powder coating finishes and tempered glass lenses. These lights are ideal for the corrosive environment and chlorinated environment of a swimming pool environment.
• Energy Efficiency: With our lights, you can expect energy savings of at least 50%-75%.
• Powerful lighting: We offer powerful lumen packages that can deliver high quality lighting and uniform illumination.
• Lower maintenance costs: LED Lighting Supply fixtures are low-maintenance lighting solutions. There are no bulbs or ballasts to change.
• Slow lumen depreciation with LED: Our lights maintain their lumens for long periods. HID / Metal Halide Lights' lumens drop significantly over a short period.
• Instant On: Our LED natatorium lights are instant. There are no slow warm-up periods.
• Great Fan and Swimmer Experience: Our lights are a high-quality light source provides a well-lit environment for swimmers and spectators alike.
• Reduce Glare: Our frosted Lens options reduce glare significantly.

What's the Best Way to Design Natatorium Lighting?

The best way is to determine what your needs are in terms of light levels and any restrictions to light placement.

From there, we recommend creating a lighting plan. A lighting plan will achieve many things:

• it will confirm light levels and light balance
• the right fixture with the right optic package
• total number of fixtures, and where they should be located

This essentially takes the risk out of choosing the right light and achieving the results you are looking for.

LED Natatorium Lighting FAQs

What Does Natatorium Rated Mean?

There is no ‘rating’ per se, but lights are rated to work within the natatorium environment. Natatorium lighting fixtures are always exposed to high humidity, water, and chlorine. So the fixture’s rating should withstand this type of environment.

Using tempered glass lenses on our LED high bays, and using the epoxy finish/powder coat will protect the fixture from corrosion. The body of the LED UFO lights is cast aluminum which performs very well in this type of environment. Additionally, any fixture used should be IP65 or higher.

Does Chlorine Degrade Your Natatorium LED Light Fixtures?

Chlorine should not degrade our Natatorium Light Fixtures. Our UFO high bays are cast aluminum with an industrial-grade powder coat. When using them, use a tempered glass lens. This should keep them safe from the effects of chlorine.

What are the Best LED Lumens for an Indoor Swimming Pool?

LED Lumens per square foot is just another way of saying footcandles. So the best way to start is to determine how many foot candles you need, and then have us create a natatorium lighting plan. The lighting plan will show you the ideal light locations. It will also show the type of fixtures used, and foot candles across the surface of the pool and deck. Remember, picking the optic package to ensure a good beam spread is also important and a lighting plan will also show you the best optic to use.

Should I Use New LED Fixtures or Can I Retrofit?

Many natatoriums use ‘up-lighting’ that shines light against a reflective ceiling. This is a great way to reduce, if not cut, glare. These fixtures are also expensive. Retrofitting is a great option. It allows you to convert to LED and keep the investment in your existing up-lighting. The existing fixture must be in reusable condition if retrofitting. Otherwise, replacing is the way to go.

Do You Have LED Up-light Natatorium Rated Fixtures?

We sell retrofit kits to retrofit up-light fixtures. We do offer flood lights and other fixtures that can aim upwards like an up-light.

Can Any High Bay Fixture Be Used in a Commercial Pool Building?

Not all. There are specific high bay fixtures on our site that we would recommend over others. Our UFO fixtures with tempered glass lenses have been used in a commercial natatorium since 2016. To date, we're aware of no issues or failures.

How Easy Is It to Install LED Lighting in Natatoriums?

It's as simple as installing any other type of LED Light we offer. Any qualified electrician will be able to install our fixtures easily.
