Acclaim Lighting, a leader in innovative architectural lighting solutions, announces the release of Aqua Series™, a revolutionary family of fully submersible LED luminaires engineered to bring architectural-grade lighting performance below the waterline. Designed for pools, spas, fountains, and architectural water features, the Aqua Series combines precision optics, dynamic color and white light control, marine-grade durability, and simplified commissioning into a unified platform.
The Aqua Series includes the Aqua Drum E3™, Aqua Drum S3™, and Aqua Linear™ fixtures, enabling spot, flood, wall wash, and linear illumination from a single, integrated ecosystem. A comprehensive accessory offering, including snoots, louvers, glare shields, in-wall pool kits, in-ground sleeve kits, and 0-10V and DALI signal converters, allows designers to tailor performance while maintaining visual consistency across installations. Every fixture is available in both standard and pool and spa-rated configurations (UL676), while the Aqua Driver 4™ can power up to four fixtures from a single driver.

At the core of the platform is Acclaim Lighting’s Quad RGBL Spectrum™ four-channel color engine, which combines vibrant saturated colors with dedicated white light control across a full 1800K to 6000K range. A single fixture allows designers to transition seamlessly between everyday architectural white light and dynamic color-changing scenes for entertainment, hospitality, and special-event applications without compromising performance, in either mode. Static white CCTs, as well as QRGBA and Dynamic White are also available.
The Aqua Drum E3 and Aqua Drum S3 introduce a native 3° x 3° ultra-narrow optic for all emitter options, delivering a razor-tight beam for long underwater throws, tall fountain jets, and pinpoint architectural accents. Combined with a broad range of beam distributions and outputs up to 9,500 lumens, the family provides designers with the flexibility to achieve both dramatic visual effects and high-performance, functional illumination. The native 3° optic delivers a level of beam precision rarely available in submersible floodlights.
Designed for demanding environments, every Aqua Series fixture features a 316L marine-grade stainless steel housing for maximum corrosion resistance. Fully IP68-rated and submersible to depths of up to 20 feet (6 meters), the fixtures are approved for below-waterline use in freshwater, chlorinated, brominated, and saltwater pool environments. Above the waterline, the same marine-grade construction delivers long-term durability in harsh coastal and oceanfront applications, including exposure to salt-air environments.

Supporting the platform is the Aqua Driver 4, featuring Acclaim Lighting’s AquaSense™ technology. Upon startup, AquaSense automatically detects the connected load and self-configures without requiring manual setup for a mixed fixture type load. The result is simpler commissioning, fewer installation errors, and faster project turnaround.
The Aqua Series supports DMX and RDM control with smooth 0-100% dimming, features a five-year limited warranty, and is available in static white, dynamic white, QRGBA, and QRGBL Spectrum Four configurations. Together with a comprehensive range of mounting options and accessories, the platform offers a scalable solution for hospitality, residential, commercial, entertainment, and public-space water feature applications.Backed by the Aqua Driver 4 platform, the Aqua Series delivers a unified ecosystem that simplifies specification, installation, and long-term maintenance.
