5 Stars Too COOL...
What a great way to light the pool bottom. Lights, colors, movement, a floating disco ball. I'm glad that my girls 6&8 haven't figured that they can bring it in the house( I tried it when they weren't around.) We have a 12foot pool with 32"of water and it is perfect. This just adds another dimention to the water, to play, to snorkeling ,and to 'Pool Party'!! Plus, this light is in the pool, so it isn't something shining into the neighbors window. Of course, with a pool full of screaming kids, you probably don't see or even have neighbors anymore. OK, It's now about 3 months after purchase and much use. The kids brought the light into the house and use it to dance (without music!)and really enjoy this added dimension as a lightshow. If you're an old stony type you can have a flashback or gadzillion with it. The downside is that it leaked and stop working, but once only...If you are even slightly handy you can address this problem. Open it as you would to replace the batteries. Remove the small screws with a small screwdriver. ( Ack! I can't find the unit to say which screws; it dosen't matter, there arent that many screws. Sorry.) Pull it open taking care of wiring and lights. Note the small tab at edge for proper resetting/alignment. See the copper rings? They get a slight patina of corrosion on them and the contacts that slide on them(contacts are on facing part you unscrewed and pulled away.) With all parts dry, take an OLD green scrubber pad from your kitchen sink, it being dry also, and lightly clean rings and contacts. You are only trying to clean it; you can possibly rub the copper off of the disc. After cleaning, make sure no small green scrubber bits are on surfaces. Wipe with a paper towel if necessary; NOT your finger. Natural oils from your fingers will corrode copper. Remember tab for proper realignment so it will work properly. I only had to do this once. I had planned to seal rubber seal with a bit of vegetable oil at battery replacing seal if problem persisted, but I haven't had problems thru the pool season. This process is much simpler than the reading, and I only found one reviewer who had this problem besides my one time. I hope this is helpful IF you have this problem.

4 Stars 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.

1 Star Embarrassing
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.

5 Stars 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. :)

2 Stars wasn't satisfied
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
