Are the lights too bright to put up next to a swimming pool for night time swimming?

They would work fine around a pool but only if you do not look directly at them. Unlike an incandescent bulb, the LED's are extremely bright to look at directly. The higher and further out of your normal line of sight the better.

They did a fair job of making it underwater capable, but I would not say its not a real underwater light. If I was to put them in a fountain I would probably add a layer of hot glue over the joint between the lens cap and the body, and over the entry point of the wire. And even then I would remind myself of how cheep they were to just replace if they flood.

The light is extremely bright especially considering the cost. We use them for additional light during day time dives. The depth should not be a problem as far as submersion but penatration into less Than clear water may be. Good luck and happy hunting.

Yes, I placed mine in my side yard and can light up the side of my house, otherwise it is a very dark area between my house and the neighbors.

I've had my two lights installed since December 2013, in my back yard, on two 12 foot poles. They are very bright and I have not had any problems at all. They are waterproof so I don,t see a problem with the installation you have in mind.

I haven't used it outside, but as long as it's properly protected from the elements a couple of them should work nicely to light the pool.

I purchased these to be used for normal lighting (i.e. ceiling lighting). I have never used them under water. Given the how these are made, I really doubt that they are made to be used under water. I would be careful.

I do not think they are bright enough. We use them to photograph artwork and they must be placed VERY close to the object.

hi, they would be fine for night time use. I uploaded some pics ( in my review) of the goggles at night time, hope they help

I think it would be to bright. I installed in a small galley style kitchen. It's almost as bright as daylight on a sunny day. Great light but not soft.

They are. I have mine outside and they do fine. Not very bright as the moment though, but I'm in Oregon where it gets dark so early. They were a bit brighter when I first got them, earlier in the year, and I expect them to do very well this summer.

Probably fine. The lights are nice and bright when you first change the batteries; they do dim over time. If that would be a problem, it might be better to get something that plugs in.

Really depends on what you consider too bright. But compared to many other aquarium lights, this light should be on the lower brightness level.

I do not think so. They are decent as far as solar lights go, but I would keep them within ten feet of the object to be illuminated.

My Zoom occasionally goes into flashing mode, and when it gets stuck there (requiring a reboot of the system) the lights will wake me up at night even though the unit is about 12 feet away and up high. So, in my opinion, yes, the lights are bright and sometimes hideously so.
