Can waterproof PAR lights be used underwater or in pools?

Sunday, November 23, 2025
Explore the suitability of waterproof PAR lights for underwater and pool applications, focusing on their design, IP ratings, and best practices for aquatic environments.

Understanding Waterproof PAR Lights

Waterproof PAR lights are designed to withstand exposure to moisture and are commonly used in outdoor events and stage lighting. These fixtures are typically rated with an Ingress Protection (IP) code, such as IP65 or IP66, indicating their resistance to dust and water. For instance, BKlite offers waterproof PAR lights with IP65 ratings, ensuring durability in various weather conditions. ((https://www.bklite.com/product-tag/best-waterproof-par-light.html))

Can Waterproof PAR Lights Be Used Underwater?

While waterproof PAR lights are built to resist water ingress, they are not specifically engineered for submersion. The IP65 or IP66 ratings signify protection against water jets but do not guarantee full immersion resistance. Therefore, using these lights underwater is not recommended, as they may not perform optimally or could be damaged.

Are Waterproof PAR Lights Suitable for Poolside Applications?

Waterproof PAR lights can be safely used around pools, provided they are installed above the waterline and shielded from direct water contact. Their robust design makes them suitable for poolside lighting, enhancing the ambiance of aquatic environments without the risks associated with submersion.

Best Practices for Using Waterproof PAR Lights Near Water

To ensure safety and longevity when using waterproof PAR lights near water:

  • Installation: Mount the lights above the waterline to prevent direct exposure to water.

  • Protection: Use additional covers or enclosures to shield the lights from splashes and humidity.

  • Maintenance: Regularly inspect the lights for signs of wear or water ingress, and perform necessary maintenance promptly.
