1. An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one light source adapted to be supported by one of a pool and a spa to illuminate a liquid contained in the one of the pool and the spa, the at least one light source being further adapted to generate a remotely controllable variable color radiation output to illuminate the liquid without requiring the use of a color filter.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus for remotely controlled illumination of liquids in a variety of environments. In one example, remotely controlled multi-color LED-based light sources are employed to achieve a wide range of enhanced lighting effects in liquids. In another example, a pool or spa is illuminated by one or more remotely controlled multicolor light sources that may be employed as individually and independently controllable devices, or coupled together to form a remotely controlled networked lighting system to provide a variety of programmable and/or coordinated color illumination effects in the pool or spa environment.

53. An apparatus, comprising:
at least one remote user interface to remotely control at least one light source adapted to be supported by one of a pool and a spa, the lights source further adapted to generate variable color radiation to illuminate a liquid contained in the one of the pool and the spa, the at least one remote user interface comprising;
at least two selectors to allow a user to remotely control at least one parameter associated with the variable color radiation generated by the at least one light source. - View Dependent Claims (54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70)
