Pond Lighting

LED lighting for ponds, waterfalls and pondless features. Ideas, costs and what to know before you buy.

Lighting turns a pond into something you enjoy every evening, not just on weekends. Underwater lights, waterfall lights and landscape spotlights tuck in among the rocks and plants so they practically disappear during the day. The Aquascape LED fixtures we install run on low voltage, are sealed watertight, and use a fraction of the power of older halogen lights.

What lighting costs

Pond lighting starts around $1,700 for a 3-light system and about $3,300 for six lights. For a pondless waterfall, three lights start around $1,500 and six about $2,800. Every package includes professional installation and a 5-year manufacturer warranty on the fixtures.

Adding lights to an existing pond

We add lighting to existing ponds, pondless waterfalls and fountains across Central Iowa, including features we did not build.

See our pond and waterfall lighting service, or price out your feature with lighting.
