Question
Hello, I'm intressted in submercial architecture and would like to know what are the possibilities for underwater lighting installations and what kind of lights are useful in the water?is there already existing an interesting submercial space with a lot of lights and so on?exept the Hydropolis hotel in Dubai?thank you and excuse me for my english!

Answer
Underwater lighting products are widely used in theme parks, casinos and hotels.

There are several factors in deciding which products to use. However underwater lighting design (i.e. the effectual location of products to produce specific scenes or effects) is highly complex and requires detailed information on sites, water flow, water quality, depth pressure etc and would be designed for each project.

Are you researching a specific project or looking to sell products? Let me know as I am both a lighting product designer and a lighting installation designer and can point you in the right direction.
