ABSTRACT:
A lighting system for a swimming pool includes a sidewall sized and shaped to define a perimeter of the swimming pool, a liner for covering the sidewall and a bottom of the swimming pool so as to create a watertight cavity for receiving water, the liner including a light-transmitting portion, and a back-lighting apparatus connected to the sidewall behind the liner and configured to transmit light through the light-transmitting portion of the liner to illuminate the swimming pool. The back-lighting apparatus includes at least one housing connected to the sidewall behind the liner, the at least one housing having an opening positioned to register with the light-transmitting portion of the liner, at least one light source sized and shaped to fit within the housing for emitting light through the opening of the housing, and a light-transmitting cover shaped to cover the opening of the housing to protect the light source, wherein the light emitted from the light source is transmitted through the light-transmitting cover and the light-transmitting portion of the liner to illuminate the swimming pool.
