Solar Pool Lights: Wireless Underwater Lighting for Any Pool
Have you ever dreamed of a pool that turns into a stage of light and reflections after dark? With ledecsun solar pool lights you no longer have to choose between atmosphere and savings. These are truly wireless pool lights: no cables, no digging, no electricity bill — the underwater light recharges itself from the sun. And they work on every pool, from inground pools to above ground pools.
Why choose solar pool lights?
- No cables, no digging: just the adhesive included in the box, or the magnetic model, and the light is ready — no electrician, no masonry work, and no draining the pool.
- Up to 7 hours of night runtime: one hour of sun = one hour of light; a summer day gives you enough for the whole evening.
- Built-in dusk sensor: it switches on at sunset and off at dawn, so you just enjoy the show.
- 15–20 m² (about 160–215 sq ft) lit per unit: a few lights are enough for a medium pool.
- Ultra-slim design: 308 mm across, only 12 mm thick — no clutter, just light.
- Lower bills and CO₂: the sun charges it, you save.
Not all solar pool lights are the same
The market is full of cheap floating lights that promise a lot and last a single season: no-name LEDs that fade in weeks, batteries with inflated capacity, housings that yellow and flood at the first winter. These lights are built on a different logic — real components and real waterproofing:
- OSRAM Opto high-power LED: 320 real, constant lumens — not a declared peak.
- 3200 mAh lithium battery with genuine capacity, for a true 1:1 sun-to-light ratio.
- Patented lighting system (U.S. Pat. 10132455 · EP 3118392) and made in Europe.
- Sealed housing for chlorine and saltwater: built to last season after season.
The products: Moonlight & DeepBlue
Distributed by MR WATT, this rechargeable lamp integrates high-efficiency photovoltaic cells, a lithium battery and a fully waterproof body patented by ledecsun. Installation takes four steps in five minutes, which makes it perfect for hotels and guesthouses too, where pool downtime is a nightmare. Both flagship models come with a magnet or an adhesive.
Moonlight — white light
Designed for tiled, polyester or liner pools, it bonds with an underwater polymer and resists both chlorinated and saltwater. The warm "moonlight" white creates a soft glow that mirrors the moon on the water.

DeepBlue — blue light
DeepBlue by LedecSun fills your pool with a magnetic blue that turns the water into pure night-time scenery. One touch to install, and the garden becomes an elegant resort lounge.

Many customers mix both colors in the same pool for an even more striking effect.
Solar pool lights for above ground pools: the magnetic solution
If you have an above ground pool with a steel wall and liner (Intex, Bestway, Gre and similar), the magnetic solar pool light is the simplest option there is: the lamp clips to the metal wall through the liner — no glue, no tools, no drilling. At the end of the season you pop it off in a second and store it with the pool. Traditional wired lights are practically impossible to fit on these pools; solar magnetic lights need no preparation at all. Just pick the wall that gets the most sun.
Better than floating solar pool lights?
Floating solar pool lights are the most common cheap alternative, but their limits are obvious: they drift with the wind, light only the surface and leave the bottom dark, get in the way of an evening swim, and often end up stuck in the skimmer. A fixed underwater solar light like Moonlight or DeepBlue lights the water evenly from within, stays exactly where you put it, and lives happily with robotic cleaners and winter covers. For a little more than a floating light, you get real pool lighting instead of a decoration.
How many lights do you need?
Each unit lights about 15–20 m² (160–215 sq ft) of water surface:
- Pools up to 5 × 3 m (16 × 10 ft) → 1 light
- Pools from 8 × 4 m to 10 × 5 m → 2 lights
- Pools 12 × 6 m → 3 lights
Installation: under 10 minutes, zero stress
- Clean the surface (a cloth is enough).
- Apply the adhesive polymer to the center of the back of the lamp — or simply clip the magnetic version to the steel wall.
- Place the lamp 20–30 cm (8–12 in) below the waterline and press for a few seconds.
- Done. Sit back and wait for sunset: the pool does the rest.
Frequently asked questions
How long do solar pool lights last on a charge?
In summer, with full sun exposure, up to 7 continuous hours. The ratio is 1:1 — every hour of stored sunlight equals an hour of night light, managed automatically by the dusk sensor.
Do I need to drain the pool to install them?
No. The adhesive bonds underwater with a special polymer included in the box, with no plumbing work. The magnetic version clips straight onto steel walls, without glue.
Are they good for above ground pools?
Yes, they are the ideal solution. The magnetic version clips directly to the steel walls of above ground pools with a liner (Intex, Bestway, Gre and similar), with no drilling and no glue. At season's end it comes off in an instant and stores with the pool.
Do they work in saltwater pools?
Yes. The sealed housing is designed for both chlorinated pools and saltwater (salt chlorination) systems.
Can I use them in a fountain or garden pond?
Absolutely. Mounting on smooth surfaces is identical, so these underwater solar lights are also ideal for fountains and ornamental ponds.
Do they survive robotic pool cleaners?
Yes. Both the adhesive and the magnet are designed to withstand automatic cleaners passing over them — there is no need to remove the light for cleaning.
