Open Box Pool JOYO Solar LED Light for Above-Ground Pools

Summer evenings in the backyard go by fast in Canada, so it’s worth making the ones you get count. This open-box above ground pool solar light from Pool JOYO fits onto the frame of a metal frame pool and charges from the sun during the day, ready to glow in red, green, blue, white and more once night falls. There’s no cable to run across the lawn and nothing to drill, and at $54.99 it’s an easy way to add colour to night swims.

Check your pool first: metal frame above-ground models only

The manufacturer designed this light for one style of pool: above-ground pools with a metal frame. The included mounting kit fixes it to that frame, and the adjustable, folding design lets you set it firmly in place. It isn’t meant for in-ground or inflatable-ring pools. If your above-ground pool has a different kind of edge, compare it with the product photos or email a picture to our team before you order.

Getting the most from an above ground pool solar light in Canada

The built-in solar panel recharges the battery during the day, so there’s no extra electricity cost and nothing to plug in. Like every solar light, how well it performs at night depends on how much sun it soaks up. A few habits help:

• Mount it on the sunniest side of the pool, clear of shade from a fence, deck or tree.
• Expect a softer glow after a cloudy or rainy day. That’s normal for solar lighting.
• Shorter days in August and September mean less charging time, so placement matters more late in the season.
• When you close the pool in the fall, take the light off the frame and store it indoors with the remote.

Colours, effects and brightness from the remote

The multifunction remote, supplied with its battery, switches the light on and off, changes colours, adjusts brightness and runs fade and other animated modes. A steady blue suits a quiet late swim, while cycling colours work well when friends come over on a long weekend. You can make changes from a distance, without walking over to the light.

Built for splashes and rain

The light carries an IP68 rating, and the manufacturer says it handles splashes, rain and immersion near the water. No water rating is given for the remote, so keep it on the deck.

About this open-box unit

Being open box, this light’s packaging has been opened, so it isn’t sealed-new. We inspect and test it before it ships, and the contents are as listed on this page: the light, the remote with battery, the metal-frame mounting kit and the instruction manual. Our open box grading guide explains how items are checked, and the 90-day limited warranty covers manufacturing defects. You also have 30 days to return it in the condition it arrived.

Complete your pool setup

A clean floor matters as much as good lighting. The open box Pondee WaveRobo X1 cordless pool cleaner is designed to vacuum leaves, sand and debris from the bottom, and adding it to this light takes your order past $99 for free shipping. On its own, the light ships anywhere in Canada for $14.99; see our shipping policy for delivery times by province. More backyard gear is waiting in Open Box Pool & Garden.
