When it comes to outdoor spaces such as patios or pools in Miami Beach, FL, the use of UV lights is a popular choice. However, there are certain regulations that must be followed when using these lights. LED lights do not generate UV light and generate a small amount of heat, making them less attractive to insects. Halogen and yellow dichroic lights are also good options as they don't attract bugs.
In addition to the type of light used, it is important to consider the brightness of the light. The white lights inside the building can be seen from the beach and are often much brighter than the lights outside. To reduce this glare, you can plant or improve vegetation protection zones to block pool lights and accumulated beach glare.
