I had added a 1/4" styro foam insulation between pool wall and liner has anybody used this light with that set up, magnet strong enough?

I haven't tried mounting it over styro foam but I think 1/4 inch's of it would be too thick. You may have to make a hole in the insulation. Having the light is a nice feature and it may be worth the trouble of modifying the foam.

I don't have that set up but my best guess is that it will not be strong enough, I lost the grip a couple of times with a regular set up.

I have this light & I don't think it will work with the foam...magnet will not be strong be enough...

Yes, I have had mine outside for several months on uncovered doors of a pool enclosure. So far so good. Attach the base. Add the top and then silicone all around the outside. Check connection to magnet. Don't worry about waterproofing the magnet side. Check the silicone from time to time and redo when you change the battery.

The answer to your question is yes . it does bounce and after a while becomes rather loose, however I cut a piece of stickyback velcro and placed it behind the light and it works very well . Hope this helps

I can't tell you exactly how much heat the light generates, but I always find it cool to the touch. I use mine as a grow light, and too much heat would not be good - no adverse affects so far. I think you'll be fine with a heavy-duty mounting tape, but even one screw would help for stability.

Hello, I believe it would light up without any problems, my light shines down on the ground with about a 10 foot circle on the ground. As for the thickness, I am not sure. I have mine on a 20 ft telescoping pole.

hi .. works great! but my pool is very large and the lights do not cover part of it .. the rest are good

I am NOT in construction but I see no reason why foam insulation would be a problem. The light gives off very little to no heat, so if heat from the light is your concern, it shouldn't be.

I didn't notice any problem but I do not know if it actually made my pool warmer. I'm trying now to save for a solar cover & will not buy this anymore

Use the light for a while, Web search the manufacturer. Most are glad to sell more components. After three uses, mine is left out of the way because of the weak magnet and clumsy handling. If I could find the spare I got with mine, I'd give it to you...not convenient

The light comes with some double sided tape but I used my own 3" screws to get through the siding & insulation. Worked Ok although the motion sensor is mounted such that it does not sense motion directly under it. Approach it from 6' out & it works great. I would use the double faced tape only on an indoor installation. Seems like a well built light. Should work fine if motion is coming at it.

I have not found that it will light up my pool, which is smaller in size but deeper than yours. It really works more like a disco ball, it makes cool light and color patterns, but does not provide a source of light.

Idk because it's magnetic the outside part has to make contact with the inside pool light fixture- break the connection and the light goes out- but IF u can get it to work it is worth the $ the light makes the pool beautiful at night!! And no drilling for installation just stick it to the wall and ur ready to GO.

the light has a magnet in the base and they furnish a magnet that goes on the outside of your pool.

I know what you mean. We have ours along a metal fence around our pool. I used three black heavy zip ties to secure the pole to the post. The posts are square sided, about 2" per side. I also used the bottom sections of the previous lamp posts for a little extra height (about a foot or so). We get apocalyptic force winds around our area so we need to secure them as much as possible. Other than that, they're very nice. Good luck.

I have a fiberglass pool with concrete coping. The front roller will come to the coping and levitate there for a few seconds. It will then quit propelling and settle to the bottom. I also have a safety ledge half way in deep end, and has no problem. Excellent product.

Yes, if the pool liner is not too thick. Really don't know with precision how thick the Intex pool liner walls are but to compare it to everyday household item, I would say that they must be a little more than the thickness of an orange juice carton. Maybe twice the thickness at some places (where the joints are) and the light can hold good there. Don't think it will work with metal wall above ground pools because the electricity is not directly connected to the light. The light is powered via magnetism or some other sort of indirect way where the outside (electrified) part and the light enclosure pull together on each side of the pool liner with magnets. The amount of light is adequate for a 24 * 12 pool.

That's a tough question. The magnet IS strong enough to hold the receptacle. However, the adhesive on the magnet is NOT strong at all. It most likely will not stick to the receptacle very well. I wound up buying some glue to make the magnet stick to the crafts that I made. So, YES the magnet is strong enough...but NO, the adhesive is not strong enough. Buy a decent glue in addition to this product. I used Gorilla Glue...worked like a charm. :-)
