Frogs and crickets chirping, lightening bugs all around, and the sound of moving water… The “night life” of a pond is often overlooked by pond owners because they do not have the proper pond lights to really enjoy it.
Underwater spotlights illuminate the water from below. This allows you to see the fish move in a way that the sun’s glare may block. The waterfall uplights make the water dance over rocks and show you 10x more detail and beauty. The landscape lights create a juxtaposition between light and dark, emphasizing details that you would normally miss.
For example, below is a comparison of our pond at home without pond lights and with pond lights. Keep in mind, I did take this on the fly with my phone so the quality isn’t the best. Look at all of the different aspects of the pond that are now illuminated.
The fish are vibrant, the light on the waterfalls show facets that I didn’t see in the day time. It is truly a separate experience to see a pond at night. Having pond lighting is almost like having two completely different ponds.
