LED Screen Cage Lights

I think @setsailsoon is doing some type of panoramic cage for his new pool.

Hi,
Yes I have one for my new OB pool. They're becoming more popular these days and really set off the view if you have something scenic behind the pool like a lake or ocean view. I have a panoramic or picture window cage that's being designed and fabricated now. Permitting for the cage needs to have a stamped drawing from a registered Florida PE. Not all that difficult to do unless your dimensions are super large. My window is 32' long, 10' high and faces almost due west over a lake behind our lot. The drawing will also have to stipulate the footer design. In most cases a 12" X 12" deep footer with one or two rebar rods seems to be standard. Check your permit to see what inspections are required. Will probably be at least a footer form inspection and equipotential bonding inspection. I'm in Martin County and permitting is pretty straight-forward in most Florida locations. What county are you in and what are your approximate dimensions?

Mine is not lighted and if I was to do that I'd look at something that clips on rather than a track. @Katodude has used LED strip lighting at the water line using the LED's that are in a plastic tube... looks great! I think this might be a better solution for you. Tracks could be pretty prone to obstructions and damage over time from insects/weather. You'll need to think about power and getting it supplied/concealed.

I hope this is helpful.

You have a few options for DIY.

I use IP67 LED light strips that I buy off eBay. They are 20M RGB, I use the 24v ones as they provide consistent power through the entire 20M. They can be powered from both ends so you can cut them and make two strips. I dont know how long of a run you have. Quality varies greatly and since they come from China no way to know. The first ones I used lasted 5 years. The latest batch about a year. They are only about $60 each so replacing them is not a huge deal (except for my labor).

I have also heard great things about the Govee permanent lights. I am thinking about installing them on the soffit of the house for Christmas (and other occasion) light. They are on sale now, but they have a sale about every 2 months.

If you want something that resembles that just buy the Govee lights. They come with an adhesive backing. If not you can always use silicone adhesive to attach them.
