Create an atmosphere in the surrounding garden with carefully planned external lighting.
The setting around a hot tub can benefit from a considered garden-lighting scheme: a separate seating area, an architectural wall or a suitably located pergola. This page covers external surroundings only. A qualified installer must determine permitted positions, separation, protection and electrical requirements for the actual hot tub and site before any product is selected or installed.
Explore related outdoor lighting ideas. These concepts illustrate design possibilities, not a verified installation, specified product or exact colour output.

Shop LED strip lightsBring the light position, mounting, location conditions and complete electrical system into one installation brief.
Start with the places beyond the tub itself: where you sit, where towels are stored and how the surrounding garden looks from the water. A separately located wall or structure may offer a design route, subject to installer approval. Keep the proposed source out of direct sightlines where possible and assess the wider access lighting independently. Do not attach strip to the tub, its cover or its service enclosure by assumption.
Provide the hot-tub manufacturer’s information and a site plan showing the tub, steps, cover movement, service panels and nearby structures. The installer must determine the appropriate separation and requirements; this page does not prescribe a safe distance. Heat, splash, moisture, treatment chemicals and local conditions all need consideration against the equipment manufacturers’ limits. An IP67 strip rating alone does not establish suitability for a hot-tub location or the complete electrical system.
After permitted locations are agreed, measure each lit section and the cable route to accessible power and control equipment. Preserve access to the tub’s own servicing points and keep cables clear of walking routes, moving covers and equipment. Specify suitable protection for every connection and entry. SPLASH12 is not suitable for submersion and must not be used as in-water lighting or where the design depends on it sitting in pooled water.
Explore white-light and colour options, then have a qualified installer confirm the selected products and every connection for the actual location.

View sealed CCT stripThe linked RGBW option offers colour plus a separate white channel. It needs matching RGBW controls and a suitable complete installation.
View sealed RGBW stripRGB and RGBW use different control arrangements. The colour product linked here is RGBW, with its own white channel; an ordinary indoor RGB strip is not an automatic substitute.
Swatches are illustrative, not product photographs or exact colour temperatures. Screens and surfaces change how light appears. Available tones and suitability vary by product. The strip’s rating does not establish the protection of the whole system.
These sealed strip options are starting points for an installer-assessed system. The strip rating alone does not establish location suitability or protect its connections, controls and power equipment.

View productThese are individual strips, not a complete lighting kit or a checked bill of materials. Confirm mounting, power, controls, cables, connections and exposure limits together. SPLASH12 must remain outside water and is not a walkover or driveover lighting system. Product imagery does not identify the products used in the concepts.
No. Its installation guide excludes submersion. This page is about separately assessed external surroundings and does not recommend products for lighting inside the water or the hot-tub vessel.
A qualified installer must determine the permitted placement and separation for your specific tub, installation and applicable requirements. Do not use a generic distance or the strip’s IP rating as approval for a location.
Do not assume those positions are permitted. Ask the hot-tub manufacturer and a qualified installer to assess any proposed modification or nearby electrical equipment. Keep the tub’s service access and safety-related components unaltered.
Send a site plan, photographs, the hot-tub model and manufacturer information, surrounding structures and proposed power location. Include the cover’s movement and service access. Your installer should confirm permitted lighting positions before the final specification.
