The niches for pool spotlights are recessed structures designed to house underwater spotlights safely, allowing an aesthetically integrated. They are essential elements to ensure proper underwater lighting, both in private pools and public facilities, and facilitate maintenance and replacement of lighting fixtures.

why choose these products?

Niches are the basis of an efficient lighting installation in swimming pools, and choosing the right one provides multiple advantages:

• Electrical safety: They guarantee a watertight installation, avoiding water leaks into the electrical system.
• Compatibility and functionality: They allow the correct placement and fastening of the spotlights, adapting to the type of LED spotlight.
• Easy maintenance: They facilitate the access to the spotlights for revision, replacement or wiring tasks.
• Professional finish: They integrate the luminaire cleanly into the pool shell.

how do the niches for pool lights work?

The niches are recessed into the pool wall during the construction or renovation process. They are designed to house an underwater spotlight, connecting its wiring through a wall bushing or corrugated watertight tube. Once the spotlight is installed, the niche maintains the watertightness and ensures the stable fixation of the luminaire, also allowing its disassembly when necessary.

Buying Guide: Which is the Best Niche for your Installation?

Before you buy, there are two fundamental factors to consider:

1. The Size of the Spotlight

The first thing is to know the size of the spotlights you are going to install. In Quimipool we work with the two most common formats in the market:

• Standard spotlights: They have a larger diameter and depth, ideal for larger pools or when you are looking for a powerful lighting.
• Mini spotlights: More compact, they are perfect for small pools, spas, staggered areas or to create environments with softer and punctual lighting. The size of the spotlight will determine the type of niche compatible.

2. Pool Construction Type

The second key factor is the type of pool in which you are installing the lights:

• In-ground (Concrete) Pools: They require specific niches that are embedded directly into the concrete wall.
• Prefabricated pools: Whether made of polyester, liner or panels, these pools use niches adapted to their materials and shapes.
