There’s just something magical about a pool at night. When the sun dips low and the sky starts to glow, the right above ground pool lights can turn your backyard into a whole new experience. Whether you’re hosting a party, enjoying a quiet evening swim, or setting the mood for a romantic night under the stars, pool lighting makes everything more inviting, more beautiful—and let’s be honest, more fun.

At BrightWater Pools, we carry a handpicked selection of LED pool lights for above ground pools that are just as easy to install as they are beautiful to enjoy. These pool lights don’t just look good—they’re energy-efficient, smart, and made to fit perfectly with your above ground pool setup. Let’s light things up!

Step Into the Glow: Bluetooth® Color Step Light

If you love tech, color, and all things vibrant, the Bluetooth® Color Step Light is calling your name. This above ground pool step light uses advanced SMT (surface-mount technology) LEDs to illuminate your pool in multicolor brilliance—and it’s all controlled by your smartphone.

From deep blues to vibrant reds, this LED swimming pool light projects 75–100 feet through the water, creating an unforgettable light show with just a tap. Use the Bluetooth-connected app to change colors, adjust brightness, or set the vibe for the night—whether it’s party mode or chill-and-float.

Why you’ll love it:

  • High-output, multicolor LED pool lighting
  • Smart app lets you control the lights from up to 100 feet away
  • Energy-efficient and easy to install with a 30-foot cord
  • Installs directly onto your pool steps for dramatic effect

This above ground pool light is perfect for those who want an instantly stylish upgrade without the hassle.
