Outdoor lighting · Integrated automation systems
An outdoor space
that lives after sunset.
Layered landscape lighting and thoughtfully coordinated controls for the pool, garden, and places you gather.
Plan Lighting & Automation
Outdoor Lighting & Automation · SRL Pools
Light the experience.
Simplify the controls.
Good lighting reveals texture, guides movement, and gives the landscape a different character at night. Automation can bring compatible systems into a more convenient routine. We consider the fixtures and controls together, beginning with how you want to use the space.
Paths, steps & transitions
Plan light where you move between the home, terraces, garden, and pool. Fixture placement and glare control matter as much as brightness.
Stonework & planting
Reveal the texture of a wall, the form of a tree, or the edge of a garden with a restrained lighting approach. Thoughtful aiming helps keep the focus on the landscape.
Poolside atmosphere
Coordinate landscape fixtures with pool lighting, seating areas, and views from indoors. Consider reflection, light spill, and the balance between task light and ambience.
Integrated automation
Discuss compatible control of pool equipment, lighting groups, schedules, and selected features. The available functions depend on the chosen controllers, fixtures, network, and equipment.
Craftsmanship & coordination
Plan the hidden work
before the finishes.
Conduit, cable routes, junctions, transformers, controller locations, and service access are easier to coordinate before the stonework and decking are complete. Electrical work, pool-area requirements, and equipment compatibility are addressed with qualified professionals as part of the project.
From the first conversation to the final detail
Plan it together.
Build it with care.
Share your property, priorities, and the experience you want to create. We coordinate the visible finishes with the systems and site work behind them.
01 · Map the evening experience
Identify routes, gathering areas, focal points, views, and areas that should remain dark.
02 · Coordinate infrastructure
Plan fixture locations, wiring routes, power supplies, controls, network needs, and access before hardscape finishes.
03 · Aim, program & hand over
Adjust fixtures, configure supported schedules and scenes, test operation, and explain everyday controls and ongoing care.
Outdoor Lighting & Automation · Questions & planning
Details worth discussing.
Can one app control the pool and all outdoor lighting?
Sometimes, but compatibility must be checked. Some systems can share a controller or integrate supported features; others need separate controls. We confirm the actual functions before specifying the system.
Can lighting be added to existing stonework?
Often, though access and wiring routes may limit the options. A site review helps identify practical fixture positions and the amount of alteration needed.
Do you plan lighting during pool construction?
Yes. Early planning helps coordinate wiring, power, fixtures, and service access with the pool, stonework, planting, and decking.
Can automation operate an automatic safety cover?
Cover controls must follow the manufacturer’s safety and operating requirements. We do not assume a cover can be operated remotely or through a general automation app.
Where do you provide this service?
SRL Pools is based in Stone Ridge and serves Ulster, Dutchess, and Orange counties in New York’s Hudson Valley. Share your project address so we can discuss the property, scope, and next steps.
