Ponders interested in adding lights also have more color considerations now as pond lighting is available now in just about any color combination thanks to lenses and LED  bulbs.  So if you are interested in turning your pond into more than just a daytime luxury, look into pond lighting.  It just may be an affordable may to extend the viewing of your pond.
