Florida Pool Lighting Certification Services
Helping Your Facility Meet Florida Department of Health Requirements for Night Swimming
If your pool or aquatic facility will be open after dark, compliance with the Florida Department of Health’s lighting requirements is essential. Southeast Lighting & Design provides professional on-site lighting certification services to verify that your facility meets the illumination standards required for night swimming. The Florida certification process requires a signed lighting certification along with a photometric survey documenting light levels across the pool and surrounding wet deck areas.
Our experienced team performs accurate field measurements, prepares the required documentation, and helps owners, property managers, municipalities, schools, and aquatic facilities navigate the certification process with confidence.
Why Lighting Certification Matters
Proper pool lighting is about more than compliance—it’s about safety.
Adequate illumination allows lifeguards to clearly see swimmers, improves visibility throughout the pool area, and helps create a safe environment for evening operations. Before approving night swimming, the Florida Department of Health requires verification that your facility meets the applicable lighting standards established in the Florida Building Code.
Whether you operate a:
- Community or HOA pool
- Apartment or condominium pool
- Hotel or resort pool
- School or university aquatic facility
- YMCA or recreation center
- Municipal swimming pool
- Water park or aquatic center
our team can help ensure your lighting system is properly documented for approval.
Our On-Site Certification Process
Site Evaluation
We visit your facility after dark to evaluate your existing lighting system and determine the appropriate measurement locations.
Photometric Light Measurements
Using professional light meters, we measure illumination levels across the pool water surface and surrounding wet deck in accordance with Florida Department of Health requirements. The certification package requires documented light readings throughout the pool area, including measurements at specified intervals.
Documentation & Certification
We prepare the required lighting certification documentation and photometric survey needed for submission as part of your approval process.
