You shouldn't, try flipping (toggle) the light switch on and off multiple times. Typically, each time you toggle the switch, it should change to a different pattern/color.

You're supposed to be able to change the color by toggling the on/off switch --- think it was in the manual that came with the light. However, we bought the controller.

Getting this will definitely make it easier to change the lights as you can switch to a particular light or a programmed theme with ease.However, the lights should rotate if you flick the switch on and off. Does the light turn on at all? If your light has say 5 colors, you'll need to switch it on and off 5 times to rotate back to the first color. Maybe there's something wrong with the light itself?

Light changes without the pentair controller by toggling on/off the switch to change to different light scheme

I turn my light switch on wait a second then go up & down 5 times and my pool color is set that we like, the switch works fine for know there are some colors that I will never use so I feel the controller is not for me. The manual is helpfull to get the colors you like

Not necessary to change colors, but a whole lot easier than flipping the switch a certain number of times to get it to change color. Light instructions tell to change color by turning power on/off a set number of times (actually quite inconvenient).

This lights don't move at all? They just change colors? IT might be broken. Press menu twice and the lights turn off then use the cryptic sheet that came with it and the up and down buttons to get it to say A7. There are SO many settings that you may not have even hit the right one yet. I'm no expert at all on this I'm just trying to help. My lights move on the ceiling and change colors.

Yes it does. I use it to light my pool. It changes colors by itself, or you can have stick on one color of your choice.

Hello Mary~ I have two of these products. Noticed them used in Minute Clinics. The color means that you need to change the bulb with a new one. It is not a difficult process and your manual explains how to do this, but if you need help, let me know. I have found that I need to change our two bulbs out about every 10 months, so far. When you do change out the bulb, you want to spray out the unit with an air can to clean any particles out of the product. Hope this helps. Let me know if I can help you further. Bill

There is nothing to turn on...just place it where you want and then when the color changes follow the instructions. There is no on/off switch.

Yes. You don't need to turn on the light at all. This has 2 buttons at the base, one for the light (which you can set to change colors, set to one color, or hold to turn off the light) and the other to tirn on the diffuser.

YOu should have a hole in your pool wall where the old one came out. The new one goes in the same hole. Mine is a cement hole. there is a metal ring at the side of it where the light has one screw that holds it in. There is a trick to get the new wires plumbed back to the voltage source and whatever you do, do not pull the wires from the old light out without knowing the trick. If you do you are done.

My pool had installed prior to my purchase, so I was replacing an old unit. If I remember correctly the box came with very detailed directions for installation. Sorry I couldn't help.

The colors change automatically. You have a remote and can set it to use all colors or just certain ones. and you can choose to have flashing, strobe or smooth transition. I chose smooth transition. It is beautiful to watch the colors go from one to the other. I love this light very much. I have two. One shining on a fountain and one on a waterfall. But notice yo have to also buy the transformer to go with it and either wire it together yourself or get an electrician to do it. The transformer is about $11.00 so it is still very cheap compared to other lights like this. I also do not have mine submersed under water so it works great. The colors change automatically.

You should not need to to anything, the camera will switch. At night you should see a ring of red lights around the eye of the camera? If not then it's not working ... If you do it should work just in black and white. Night vision you never get color. Hope that helps...

You will have to buy the light nitch "housing" separately. Need to make sure you get correct nitch. As there is a difference between gunite, or vinyl pool nitches.

Very typical of Chinese products to not include instructions, they figure a search on the internet should suffice I guess? The light should go off when the water is turned off. The light should stay on and turn colors as the water heats up (red is Hot) but again turn off as soon as the water is turned off

Hello. If I recall correctly, these do not have a button, only two silver looking knobbins (connectors) on the bottom of the device. When you submerse the "ice cube", the water acts as a conduit between the connectors and this completes the "circuit". There is no button to change the colors. When you submersed them, they are supposed to light up, then start changing colors. I just re-tried mine and this is the case. If yours are not changing colors, then you either received faulty ones, or you received the ones that don't change colors. Indeed, the description for these cubes was very poor in my opinion, and I gave feedback to that effect.

Hi Cali, You have to manually turn it on. We have an outlet that is connected to our Pool's Filter Control system that is on a timer which turns off at a certain time and then back on at another time. The SharkVac is a good system.

I only bought this item due to a pool technician's instructions to do so. I would recommend that you call a highly reputable pool guy to make sure. Pool parts and constant changes between model years are very specific info. You may be better off calling each manufacturer. But start with a top notch pool guy if u can.

this product may not work with yours. My tub has 2 separate air operated switches, 1 for the lights and 1 for the pump and air. the one for the lights must be pushed quickly in order to change color. Push it once and it comes on. Push it again 2 times (off and on) the color changes. Keep doing this until the desired color or auto color change comes on.
