Hot Spring Lighting Fixtures Recommendations

Last Updated on 2 years by meredith.wang

Thermal/mineral springs was among the fastest-growing wellness sectors from 2017-2019, with revenues growing by 6.8% annually during this time period, according to Global Wellness Institute. Thermal/mineral springs establishments can be found in hotels, health resorts and sanatoria, themed waterparks and even private residence as hot tubs. Given the conditions of hot spring water, there are not many lighting fixtures especially made for thermal/mineral pools. Most of them are spotlights and well lights, which could compromise creativity in design and final look. This article will reveal some of the key challenges in the field and how CLEAR Hot Spring LED Flex Light can tackle these challenges and find success in this very niche market.

Key Challenges on Luminaires for Hot Spring/Thermal Pools

Spring waters might possess healing powers to your skin but the same can’t be said when it comes to the hot spring luminaire. The mineral content is so strong that the water is diluted before use in bathing therapies.

  • High concentration of microelements

Heated springs can hold more dissolved solids, meaning they can contain everything from calcium, magnesium, silica, lithium, to even radium. A multivitamin bath sounds great for the skin, but not so much for the submerged lighting fixtures. Dissolved Sulphur, an element that is frequently found in hot springs could still cause corrosion to the appearance of underwater lights from long-time immersion.

  • Heat Dissipation

Thermal water temperature is usually between 37 and 40 degrees Celsius or 98 and 104 Fahrenheit. And most light that are found in big thermal pools in hot spring resort, hotels or waterparks are in ground lights or well lights. Most of these pool lights are made from stainless steel or plastic material due to the low thermal conductivity. If poor structure design could lead to overheating the led chips, when they are working underwater, which leads to faster light decay.

  • Leakage

Well lights may look sturdy with the steel cover, but water could still get in. Loose screws, glass breaks and bad lens gasket are among the most common causes. When water ingress occurs, replacement by a professional is required.
