how to get the SwimWays Light-Up Beach Ball to light

You have to shake it really hard and jar the piece inside, or hit it. It doesn't light up with "normal" pool play. I wasn't happy with the one I purchased for my children.

When we first got it the ball just lite up by banging it. But my daughter took it on vacation and could not get it to light up any more. So not sure what happend.

Yes it is. it is an ordinary beach ball.It has a light mechanism inside of it that turns on when you bounce the ball very hard.The BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH THIS LIGHT is that it doesn't go off if you bounce it again.It doesn't turn off at all until its battery runs out. And then it truly is JUST a beach ball except that the light mechanism is heavy so it will always weight at one point and even just throwing the thing is all wobbly. No good for catch and no good for vollyball in the pool at night, if you were thinking of it.Otherwise it is novel! Good for red white and blue holidays or starry new years. Waiting for the ball to drop.

Thats what were doing....it's bad azz with the blue light under the wakesurfboard. Looks like blue crayola cran coming under the board. We start with the tower lights and turn them off and just use the blue LED lights. We also use glow stick necklaces from the dollar store so you can find the rider when they fall......otherwide it's marco polo haha. We night surfed with a big group of guys about 10 times last year. There nothing more fun......The lights are on my Super Air Nautique

I have the same issue. The documentation says it has to be completely dark for the nightlight to work, but I personally do not think the night lite function works at all

Just take one of the batteries out and turn it around. It cannot light this way. Been doing it for years, ok, decades.

First, choose one of the pre-programmed colors that is close to the color you want, and then press the button labelled RGB. The light should respond be briefly altering its color and then shifting back. Next, choose which color you would like to increase or decrease (red, green, or blue) and press the button labeled R, G, or B. Afterward, alter that color by pressing the rightmost key marked with a sunburst to increase that color, and the leftmost sunburst key to decrease that color. It surprised me that the bulb came without adequate instructions, but once I found out how to do it, I began to enjoy it greatly. Have fun!

I will give it my best. We have a tapered pole with a ball on top. All we had to do is screw the ball off, put the light down over the pole and screw the ball back on. Works great but not sure I have conclusively answered your question.

try using a different light ball because when I got mine one of the light bulbs did not work

Not sure if it's the same ball as the other toys, but yes, it does light up! I think it may come apart to insert a new battery but I am not sure which type of battery.

There is a little button to turn on the light. I would advise against buying this though, as the lights make the rockets too heavy. Just get the regular ones - they are much better!

You have to flip the switch to the on position. After that you just have to touch the face of the ring to the "glass" part of the lantern and it should light up.

Who knows what you mean by that question, but Phosphorescent Pigment needs to be charged up by a lightsource before it will begin to glow. So if you opened the box and expect them to glow, they won't. The glow will also be brighter the longer the balls are exposed to light. The glow begins to fade within minutes and slowly loses it's intensity. If you want bright glow in the dark balls during a kids party then get a UV (black) light bulb and keep it on during the party and turn the other lights off. They will glow brightly for a long time.

The light gets plugged in and the ball has batteries to rotate it. I might add the batteries last awhile, so many times I left the ball on for a day or more by accident!

There is a small clear lens on the top. Look at it very closely with your hands eliminating as much light as possible. If it is not shining, the bulb is out. As for the filter, there is an indicator for that too. Go to the Laguna site and it has all of that information and instructions on how to change the light. It is important to it is done correctly.

Lighter side up - to reflect light/heat Darker side up - to heat pool Hope this makes sense
