Brian's Pick
LED Lighting
I love my job, but during the summer I sometimes work long hours and want to enjoy my backyard pond with my family when I get home. The LED lights in our pond give me the opportunity to enjoy my water feature well into the evening. The kids love watching the fish dart in an out of the underwater lights, and our waterfalls take on a whole new dimension when lit up at night. LED lights are super energy efficient and longer lasting than their halogen counterparts. And I have to confess, the evening hours are my favorite time of day to enjoy our backyard pond. I can't imagine having a water feature without lights!
