By night, with the right lighting, it becomes something entirely different: the water jets turn into blades of light, the marble-grit surface reflects warm glows, and the whole garden gains a depth it simply doesn&#8217;t have during daylight.<\/p>\n<p>For its <strong>working garden fountains<\/strong>, Italpark offers dedicated lighting kits designed for permanent underwater installation. In this guide we look at how they work, what types are available, and how to choose the right one.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin:1.5em 0;\">\n<video autoplay muted loop playsinline preload=\"metadata\" poster=\"https:\/\/www.italpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/effetti-led-fontana-featured.jpg\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:4px;display:block;\"><source src=\"https:\/\/www.italpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/effetti-led-fontana-video.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\"><\/video>\n<\/div>\n<h2>How Italpark Fountain Lighting Works<\/h2>\n<p>Italpark spotlights are made of <strong>stainless steel<\/strong> and powered at <strong>12V AC<\/strong> via a transformer \u2014 a low voltage designed for safe, permanent submerged use. Each spotlight is <strong>IP68<\/strong> certified, the highest protection rating for continuous immersion in water, with a 3-metre submersible cable ready for connection.<\/p>\n<p>The number of spotlights included in the kit varies depending on the fountain model and size: from compact kits with a single light point to compositions with several spotlights distributed around the basin, for even illumination of the water jets.<\/p>\n<h2>Two Types of Lighting Kit<\/h2>\n<h3>Fixed White Light<\/h3>\n<p>The base version offers a <strong>pure white light<\/strong>, constant and steady, designed to highlight the clarity of the water and the whiteness of the marble grit without any added effects \u2014 the most discreet and elegant option for a classic look.<\/p>\n<h3>Multicolour RGB Light with Remote Control<\/h3>\n<p>The upgraded version uses <strong>high-efficiency RGB LED<\/strong> technology, able to generate 7 different colours \u2014 red, green, blue, yellow, cyan, purple and white \u2014 plus 3 programs that automatically change the shade over time. Everything is controlled with a <strong>wireless remote<\/strong>, letting you select a fixed colour or a change mode: gradual, strobe or fast.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s the solution for anyone who wants to turn the fountain into a real evening centrepiece, perhaps matching the colours to a party or a special occasion, while keeping energy consumption low thanks to LED technology.<\/p>\n<h2>Electrical Safety<\/h2>\n<p>The spotlights run on low voltage (12V) via a transformer, but the connection of the system to the household mains must always be protected by a <strong>30mA residual-current circuit breaker<\/strong>, essential for any outdoor electrical installation near water. Any extension of the power cable should be carried out by a <strong>qualified electrician<\/strong>, never improvised.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Choose the Right Kit for Your Fountain<\/h2>\n<p>The lighting kit is not a universal accessory: it is matched to the specific model and version of each Italpark fountain, with a number of spotlights calibrated to the size of the basin. To find out which kit is available for your model, the simplest way is to check the relevant product page or contact Italpark directly for personalised advice.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Whether you choose fixed white light or the multicolour RGB effect with remote control, LED lighting is the simplest way to give your fountain a second life after sunset \u2014 with the same safety and durability that define Italpark&#8217;s materials and components.<\/p>\n<p>Discover our range of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.italpark.com\/en\/product-category\/working-fountains\/\">working garden fountains<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.italpark.com\/en\/contact-us\/\">contact us<\/a> for advice on the best lighting kit for you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"How does the LED lighting on Italpark garden fountains work?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"The spotlights are made of stainless steel, powered at 12V AC via a transformer, and IP68 certified for permanent underwater immersion, with a 3-metre submersible cable.\"\n      }\n    },\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"Can the fountain light change colour?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"Yes, with the multicolour RGB kit, which generates 7 colours (red, green, blue, yellow, cyan, purple, white) and 3 automatic change programs, controlled via a wireless remote with gradual, strobe or fast modes.\"\n      }\n    },\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"Is LED lighting safe near the fountain's water?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"Yes: the spotlights run on low voltage (12V) and are IP68 certified.
