That is code in most locations and makes sense. I have seen some on the house itself though. Perhaps the "pool lighting" inside the pool is enough at night, but I was thinking more for relaxing late at night on nice evenings and reading or entertaining. the rope lighting is interesting but got to thinking it would STILL take some electrical work to switch it or have the intial rope start on the wall somewhere.
BTW, just as an aside. The 6' rule I believe came into effect when someone reached up to change a light bulb while in a bath tub, and Poof! Family sued and one. Here's your sign.... lol That's how many of these codes and warnings get established.
