Reviews of AquaGlow Underwater Light Starship

1.) Best one I have found

Having had many of these types of lights (mostly solar), I have finally found one that has the features, the power and looks to rank above poor. The auto turn off is a great feature, the lights are bright and the selections of light shows are fun. The motorized settings will run the batteries down (obviously) much faster then the light only settings, but if you wish to create a fun atmosphere, this light will do it.

I gave it five stars because I just do not see how they could improve it, beyond adding an internal rechargeable battery system (not solar). As it is, I am going to purchase two more and have three going at my next pool party.

2.) One of the best pool products I have ever bought

One of the best pool products I have ever bought Works great with our 12x30 pool Perfect for our pool party I would strongly recommend this to a person who has a small above ground pool if you have a larger pool then you might want to get more than one.


3.) Not what I expected, but still pretty good!

I bought this initially bought this as an alien beacon to summon back that starship I saw oh so many years ago! Imagine my surprise when I discovered it was just a simple pool light, haha. Well, you know, with the "Light Starship" in the title, and the glowing body of water in the picture, I was certain this was the beacon I'd been searching for! Sure, I thought it rather odd to place an alien beacon underwater, but who am I to question technology of a race beyond my understanding? So, rush forth and purchase I did this magnificent creation, and as soon as it arrived in the mail I tossed it into the bathtub! You see, I have no pool, and I believed any body of water would do. A week passed, and there were no signs like last time. No crackling, no lights in the sky, nothing heralding the return of these aliens I saw as a child! Well, of course, I rationalized, how are the aliens going to see the beacon if it's inside in my bathtub? So I went out and bought a small, plastic pool from Wal-Mart (and for whatever reason was shot many nasty looks from behind finger-plugged noses), and brought it back to my apartment. I filled the pool with water (one cup at a time, do you realize how hard it is to fill a pool with no hose?), placed it on my balcony, and threw the beacon in. To my dismay, the beacon refused to light! I was terrified! What had I done wrong? I searched the beacon over, trying to figure out what the malfunction was (being extremely careful as to not set off any alien security-device).

To my great surprise and delight, I discovered the aliens had made the technology human friendly, using some sort of power converter to take the energy from a simple double A battery. So I changed the batteries, threw the beacon back into the pool and waited. Ah, it was a glorious time, that summer. I refused to go to work, for what if the aliens came while I was away? My work called, and I never picked up, for what possibly could work have to offer that extraterrestrial beings from another planet couldn't offer? As I sat and twiddled my thumbs (I became quite the thumb-twiddler), I thought back to that glorious day when I had first seen the alien spacecraft.

It was during the summer, on a hot and sunny day, everyone was outside barbequing steak and hotdogs and hamburgers with red, white, and blue clothes. The family and I were playing games like water balloon volleyball and football, and all the while the adults talked about apple pie. My cousins and I played a variation of capture the flag, but with squirt guns (we found people were much more willing to be hit with water in this hot weather). Later in the evening, I was playing with my imaginary friend, Henry, a stuffed animal squirrel. We were supposed to be in bed, but we were having much too much fun drawing pictures of aliens and spaceships. And as if by a sign from God himself, we heard a loud boom outside! We rushed to the window and heard crackling off in the distance, and then we saw it... Four lights in the shape of a cross were soaring through the night. We caught but a glimpse of it before it flew behind a tree, and a loud boom followed. Henry and I decided the ship went to hyperspace and flew off to whatever planet it next wanted to visit.

Well, ever since, I always wanted to see these aliens I know I saw on that day, and I thought this would be my chance. But after a summer of waiting, and angry phone calls from my parents, I decided it was not to be. With my head hung low, I called a friend of mine to ask for some help with this device. He came over and laughed at me and explained its real function! Boy, was my face red when I found out I had been using it inappropriately this entire time. So, while I never met my aliens, I'm proud to say that my fish now have better rave parties than any other, thanks to the AquaGlow Underwater Light Starship. :)


4.) Good with smaller above ground pools

I have a 16x3 intex above ground pool and this is "OK" for it. I think I am going to have to invest in one more to get more of a bright effect, but it is a really cool light. It has numerous settings on it and will light up a party indeed. We used it at our bbq with a couple little torches and it was awesome. Everyone loved it. But like I said could be brighter. ALSO, my kids like to turn it on outside the pool and watch it glow on the ceiling..It IS bright up there :) Great bargain, and I would recommend, only if you have a smaller pool.

I used this in my pool for a backyard wedding reception... worked great and added great ambiance.

I imagined it would be a more powerfull lightning. If you have a small pool, it will work well, but I suggest you to use more than one Aquaglow for better result.

7.) Interesting, but not bright enough

Works as advertized, but for me with a blue tile pool the light output is not sufficent to be significant, especially with other outdoor lights on. Maybe it would be fine in a white bottom pool, but I can't say for sure (only have one pool). I'd also like it if one of the modes was to turn on at dusk and then run for the hours specified, but I have to manually turn it on anytime it's to be used.

8.) Jnless you're not worried about it lasting- Skip it!

I saw mixed reviews but thought it would be fun for the pool. It does have a beautiful effect on the pool. You have to be careful though it's seals leaked some water into the bulb each time I put it in the water. There are 2 layers for the water to get to before it reaches the electronics. It got bumped by someone, not dunked, just lightly bumped into and it tipped the topside into the water.

The electronics got wet and it didn't work. We let it dry out and a few weeks later tried again and it was working. The platic snaps that close and seal it are showing wear after only a few uses and I expect will break comletely after a couple more uses.

bought 2 underwater light show disco balls wasn't satisfied in what light they put out seems that they would be better in a kids pool then a intex above ground pool the picture shows that it covers pool but the one i got barely covers 12" of pool hope to find something better

Bought this as a gift for a friend's birthday party. They were excited to see it in action so we put it right in the pool with about twenty guests watching. What a huge disappointment!!! Looks nothing like the picture...totally lame. It barely lit the corner of about a 20' pool. I would return it right away if it wasn't a gift.

11.) This starship can't leave the solar system....

I have a 16x32 inground pool with a deep end of 6 ft. This poor light has the hardest time trying to light up anything. It does not have as many LED elements as a cheaper unit I had picked up at target last year, and the way the lights seem to line up, or not line up with the focal spots of the hosuing there does not appear to be much light that truly is cast down into the pool. Overall very disappointed with this light.

12.) Great Idea.BAD Product.

I have a 15' above ground intex pool and this light did not light the pool up in the least.NOTHING like the pictures to say the least.Sent it back and Amazon was great about it as usual.Thank God cause I would have been really pissed if I had to keep this POS.It is a cool idea and if they get it working right (the LED lights need to be 1000x brighter.No Joke.) it would be REALLY cool!! Dont waste your time right now.

While the quality and look of the light was great, the brightness of the light was not. didn't work well at all. It was very dim, and did not light up a large area of the water.

I bought 3 of these and they are all broken!!!! They leak and my son dropped one and it broke. Not worth it!!! Also the picture they show is not how it works. I have a 27' round pool. That's why I bought so many. I works better as a disco ball in my kids room!
