10. Motion-Sensor Perimeter Glow
For a high-tech approach, use motion sensors. The pool area remains dark and moody until you step outside, at which point a gentle “pathway” of light illuminates the pool edge.
How to make it: Install low-profile LED path lights around the pool perimeter connected to a smart hub and motion sensor.
Ingredients needed: Smart LED path lights, motion sensor, smart home bridge/hub, low-voltage cabling.
