What underwater lighting do i need for my pool?

We are building a bog standard 8m x 4m (13x26 foot) indoor pool and i am not sure what lighting (ie halogen or led - leaning towards led), and what power lighting to get.



ideally i want colour changing lights, but mite have to settle for various coloured bulbs in a DMX array.



some manufacturers have suggested that i utilise 30 9x3w led bulbs to light the whole pool, whereas one supplier suggested i only need one light per colour. 30 does seem an awful lot and i have a sneaking suspicion the manufacturer is jus trying to get me to make a larger purchase .



Does anybody have any suggestions for me?



On a side note, what colour tiles would work best to fully utilise the colours lights?



Also, how could i get a midnight blue colour effect?



Any help would be appreciatedWhat underwater lighting do i need for my pool?see if you can find a dealer that can demonstrate there products in a pool.
