I don't keep them in the pool other than when we need them. We turn them on and off out of the water. Too many stories of the lights leaking from being left in the water for extended periods of time. Hope this helps..

I purchased 10 sets of these lights and have had nothing but problems from day one, sent e-mails to vendor no response, I purchased these last year around this same time, GOOD LUCK

We bought three of the light faucets and all of them were replaced about a month after we got them for NOT staying lit, and to this day none of them stay lit! So I have no clue why yours is staying lit, trying tapping on the top to empty the water inside that might be stuck? That worked a couple of times in the beginning for us! We were/are very un satisfied with the purchase, but were tired if installing and uninstalling them so we just kept them and now no light! We would really not recommend these faucets, sorry! Personally I would return them and go for a higher end product ASAP!

I haven't submerged them, but I've been in pretty bad rain... The lights themselves seem like they'd be ok. They have rubber seals, but the wiring would need to be properly prepared.

MIne worked the first 4 nights, but now they will not light. I though it may have been that we had a couple cloudy days, but after 2 full sun days, still nothing. I reread the insert, and it says to cover the panel for a day or two???? I am trying that now. I should know either tonight or tomorrow night if it works. Too bad if they don't....they were pretty.

Hi Sharon, I wish I could help but mine just sit at the bottom. I think the motor on mine isn't strong enough. I sent an email to the company but received no response. Maybe the motors are defected. Who knows lol my son likes the lights. I spent a lot of money just for lights lol

It may haves bad bulb, there is a replacement bulb at the end of the light that screws off.just pull out the foam the bulb is underneath. see if that works.

Same here. The light will not turn off unless I loosen the battery compartment. ...but this doesn't do me any good when I'm underwater and want to turn the light off.

Hi! This light did not stay submerged in the little fountain I used it in. It needs more weight.NancyL

I fought the same problem and found out there is a two year guarantee on this light, I contacted the manufacture and after a bit of haggling they sent me a new one (I had lost the receipt). I have used these lights for 10 years, there is a small problem with the photocell, however there is no other light that compares with one, I suggest the lower wattage light, still plenty of light (35 watt)

I spliced the wire into an existing low voltage line and double heat-shrinked the connections, since I used it submerged in a koi pond. The light worked fine for a while, but quit. When I pulled it out it had water in it. I added a bunch of silicone around the wire and let it cure. Also replaced the bulb and tried it again. Same result, it quit working after a short period. I think it's leaking around the lense. The o-ring doesn't seem very resilient and appears to have relaxed against the glass. If you are using it around a pond, not in it, it might be okay.

Let me first say that if Amazon sends you a light that works will be a small miricile. The sent me 2 used worthless lights. Let's say they work just for kicks and grins. If you put it out in the weather water will get in and not good things happen with water and electricity. The controls are on the bottom and it's designed to have the water flow with gravity.Good luck.Larry H.

No I don't thing it works under the water. I wouldn't try it. I didn't see any o-rings or waterproofing on the flashlight. Sorry.

I have 4 lights total and 2 have always worked perfectly, 1 has never worked and the 4th only ever "glowed" until last night, when I pulled it apart again, flipped switches and reinstalled batteries. Magically it seems perfect now. So, I'd suggest playing with it a bit.

I have had no problems with the light turning itself on. I bought 2 of them and it's great to be able to just tap the top to turn on the light. Maybe yours has a shortage in the wiring. If it's still within the return period, you might try to have it replaced with a new one.

The same thing happens to mine. I will turn it on and try to push large pool and sometimes it will continue to flash. If you turn the on off button off and start over and wait until the selection you prefer lights up then push the start button. I know it seems a little quirky, but once you learn to understand its quirkyness so to speak, then you will know what to do each time. I hope this helps.KC Florida
