Ensuring Safety with Underwater Pool Lighting: A Guide by Ajmera Infinity Apartment Owners Association (AIAOA)
- Sep 1st, 2024
Swimming pools in gated communities offer relaxation but come with risks such as electrocution. To prevent fatal shocks, underwater pool lighting must adhere to safety standards. LED fittings should meet Ingress Protection (IP) ratings, which indicate protection against water and dust, and operate at low voltage to minimize electric shock risks.
Three safe wiring systems are used: SELV (Separated Extra Low Voltage), PELV (Protective Extra Low Voltage), and FELV (Functional Extra Low Voltage). These ensure electrical safety by providing isolation and protection.
Human perception of electric current begins at 1 mA AC or 5 mA DC, with AC being more hazardous. To maintain safety, ensure pool water voltage is below 50 volts AC or DC and use a digital multimeter for regular checks. Following these guidelines helps enhance pool safety and prevent electrocution.
