The kids are now sleep and it is a hot July night. You wish you could hop in the pool but it is so dark in your backyard. Well, there are solutions. Let me tell you nothing beats a night time swim. It is so relaxing, refreshing and fun.
There are many types of floating lights. Solar power ones that give you light shows and a similar battery operated light. We used a combination of these type of lights for three summers. We replaced them a few time because water would leak into them. The electronic compontents would rust. In the long run it would be cheaper to purchase a rechargable light like the Glow Buoy, Beacon Glow Buouy or the Intex floating light.
We purchased the Beacon Glow Buoy. The Glow Buoy and Beacon are made by the same company. The Beacon can be operated using the optional remote. There is also an option base for both lights so they can be used on any flat surface. This light is awesome. We purchased the optional base and use it in our gazeboo when we are not swimming. The base also makes it usuable in the house in case of a power outage.
The one thing that surprised me about the light was that it needed to be charged on a regular household outlet. We have outdoor outlets but it suggested in the instructions that it be charged indoors. Not a big deal but just another thing to carry inside with us.
