Where should a swimming pool light be positioned?

I am having an in-ground swimming pool built. I wonder if the positioning of the light in the jaccuzzi part makes a difference. Does it look any different if facing away from the house (which is the view most will have of it) or toward the house? Will the water just refract the light in every direction anyway? I appreciate feedback from pool builders as well as pool owners.
The main pool light is facing away, but because of it's shape, it is not facing directly away. Should the two match?

    Have any lights facing away from the house, the water will not disperse the light that much at all.

    The lights do not have to match up with the pool to look even they will look good any way.

    All lights would be best to face away from the house and a dimmer switch would be reccommended. 100 watt light for spa
