PIONEERS OF POOL LIGHTING
Far more than just light under water - for decades, Wibre has done pioneer work and continuously develops quality spotlights to be used in pools. Highest level of production and constant enhancement ensure a long service life. Thanks to the wide range of variants, the spotlights are ideally suited for use in private pools. Wibre adds professional quality to your own swimming pool.
A RADIATING NEW STAINLESS STEEL POOL WITH OCEAN FEELING
""We opted for something completely new", was the unison opinion of the owner and pool builder after inspection. The existing pool with a length of almost 13 metres has not been used for many years and could no longer be put into use without reconstruction measures.
Based on the expert's assessment, the client decided on a modular stainless steel pool - on the one hand, because the pool is predestined for this due to its shape, and on the other hand, a stainless steel pool is indestructible. Fun splash is thus ensured even after decades.
In the end, "indestructible" and "stainless steel" were wishes and conditions of the pool owner regarding all other pool components in contact with the water - above all the lighting.
A sophisticated light concept plays a decisive role in a private spa area. With the desire of maximizing the comfort factor, an unlighted pool would be an absolute no-go and would ruin the relaxation effect. The increased safety provided by an illuminated pool is not be understated.
In the course of the lighting planning, full attention is paid to the pool. Only a few wall lights were installed here in addition to the underwater lighting to create a warm contrast to the water. Apart from that, the fully lighted pool by itself is the main light source of this spa. With a width of 3 metres, the pool is optimally illuminated from one long side with a total of four type 4.0202 spotlights.. When using a neutral light colour, the stainless steel walls literally radiate turning the water in a shimmering ocean blue - just as at the sea. And the sand-coloured surroundings with the warm discreet interior lighting are the perfect complement to the illuminated water.
4.0202POOL SPOTLIGHTS
- Recessed spotlights for medium-sized pools
- Very high light intensity of up to 4,600 lumen with a consumption of only 31 watt
- Wide rotation-symmetric light spreading characteristics 50°

An astonishing transformation! From this example, the enormous importance of underwater lighting becomes obvious. Light is the essence for an effective relaxation of the body and soul.
TOWARDS A RADIANT POOL WITH SAFETY
A different light concept has been chosen for the following private property. With this new building, the outdoor spa area as an all-embracing art form is in the centre of things. The pool lighting is also the central light element. The complete landscaping is subordinate to the majestic appearance of the stainless steel pool and thus the highlight of this private house in a peripheral position. The builder's desire for a gorgeous outdoor pool could only be met by powerful pool spotlights. In addition, it had been the owner's concern to switch between a restrained white light and atmospheric colours. The option of switching between white and colour is now possible with almost all current pool spotlights made by Wibre. In this case, the pool builder correctly chose the RGB-W version of the spotlight type 4.0292 - the bestseller in highest professional quality.
To be able to optimally incorporate the spotlight into the pool wall to suit optical and haptic effects, the luminaire has a thickness of only 3 millimetres. Consequently, there is no risk of hitting your elbows or knees while swimming. And thanks to the solid stainless steel of the spotlight cover, cracking or splitting, which take place with plastic covers, are excluded. You will notice that safety was a top priority for this builder and his family, so that even children can play and swim safely in the water.

- Completely made of V4A stainless steel 1.4571, electro polished
