Guest Reviewer<\/p>\n

This review is a joint effort by Lis and her mum, Sue Armstrong.\u00a0 Recently retired from farming to town, Sue resides in the regional town of Dubbo in Far Western NSW. Sue no longer has cattle, but she does have a pool.\u00a0 So it was a no brainer to have Sue help us out with a review.\u00a0 Over to you, Sue!<\/p>\n

Hello! When posed with whether I\u2019d like to help with a review, I thought \u201cwhy not?!\u201d.\u00a0 My mantra is \u2018You\u2019re never too old to learn or try something new\u2019, and so I\u2019ve drawn on my years of media experience and taken the plunge.<\/p>\n

Editor-in-chief note: If the name Sue Armstrong sounds a bit familiar, she is the driving force behind the Gilgandra Film Festival and one of the stars of Warrawong \u2013 The Windy Place on the Hill (2022)<\/a>. Here\u2019s a short preview of the short film<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Unboxing the Quntis Solar Pool Lights: First Impressions<\/p>\n

The RGB-LED Solar Pool Lights came with a Two IP68 rated Pool Lights,\u00a0 two Solar Panels, User Manual and all fittings required to affix to either an above-ground or in-ground pool.<\/p>\n

As a 79 year old Granny living on my own, I was initially slightly daunted by the long list of installation instructions.\u00a0 That was until I realised the Instructions were in several different languages, and the English part was actually quite brief. Oops! \u00a0Mustering all of my 79 years of life experience, and with the now somewhat shortened instruction booklet, I figured setting up and installing the RGB-LED Solar Pool Lights on my own would be easy peasy.\u00a0 \u00a0 The set up instructions are also available online.<\/p>\n

Remote Control Features and RGB Color Modes<\/p>\n

The controller displays the basic RGB array of colours, with the ability to program cycling through, or setting the colour of your choice.<\/p>\n

There is a fade program too, meaning you can float gently under the stars as your pool gentle undulates the colours beneath you.\u00a0 Honestly, such a peaceful experience.<\/p>\n

The remote control is somewhat on the small side \u2013 any smaller and I think people might have trouble reading the button labels.<\/p>\n

Set and Forget: Testing the Automatic Timer<\/p>\n

While Elisabeth was at my house last week, she set the light timer for two hours via the remote. Approximately two hours later, the pool lights blinked out. With the option for two, six or eight hour set and forget, creating a beautiful light display in your backyard is now a simple case of set and forget.\u00a0 As you can see below, the pool and backyard under the far western night sky looks amazing. \u00a0And yes, that\u2019s me lurking near the pool gate. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Disclaimer by Lis: It was a windy day\/evening when these pics were taken. \u00a0Cleaning the pool every five minute to remove the dusty from western NSW, leaves and assorted small beasties wasn\u2019t high on my list of priorities! \u00a0I\u2019m going to say it was strategic on my part, as you can clearly see the leaves and dead spiders on the pool bottom\u2026<\/p>\n

DIY Installation: Above-Ground vs. In-Ground Pools<\/p>\n

The Lights are in two pieces. One is the LED Light and the other is a fitting glued onto the pool wall. This fitting is magnetised for easy removal of the LED lights for storage in the off season. The special waterproof glue is included.\u00a0 In my case, I\u2019ve not glued in the lights as I\u2019d like the option of taking them out over winter. But if you have little children using the pool or bathtub, I would strongly recommend fixing them to an edge to prevent a choking\/hanging hazard.<\/p>\n

My pool is inground and I found it easy to lower the light fittings into the water without falling in head over turkey. The Solar Panels are compact and in two pieces. One is a bracket to affix to the pool edge and the Solar Panel slides into place on top.<\/p>\n

The angle bracket to fix to the pool edge to hold the Solar Panel is a right-angle bracket, which perfectly suits an above ground pool.\u00a0 However, my in-ground pool has a rounded stone edge,\u00a0 and I was doubtful as to whether the bracket could be securely attached. But the manufacturer could make the bracket a little wider and by adjusting the screw holes, this deficiency could be easily overcome.\u00a0 For solar charging purposes, I have anchored the solar lights to the pool edge using a couple of spare rocks.<\/p>\n

Performance Review: Lighting Up the Night Sky<\/p>\n

My usual routine is to hop out of bed and have an early morning swim. But, I don\u2019t swim at night, reminding myself I am a whisker off 80 and don\u2019t want to slip on the pool steps, and have my neighbours find me floating (or sinking) in the pool the next day. I\u2019m planning on living a lot longer to annoy my children but mostly, to learn new things and enjoy life.<\/p>\n

So, when evening arrived and I turned on the new lights it was \u201cwow and wow!\u201d again. An extra swim in the evening before bed will be awesome. The lights show the steps clearly and indeed right to the bottom of the pool. The lights can change colours, be fixed, flash on and off and have a timer. \u00a0In this instance we had them cycle through some of the colours available.<\/p>\n

Practical Observations: Remotes, Cables, and Cleaners<\/p>\n

Controller: My main worry was the small size of the remote control which just covers my palm. I say worry, because I am liable to put it down \u201csomewhere\u201d and not find it for a week. It would be great to have a screw on wall-bracket. Or, a lanyard to hang the control up. Or better still, an App on the phone.<\/p>\n

Inbuilt Pool Cleaners: I have a \u201ctractor type\u201d pool cleaner which doesn\u2019t go up the walls. However, if a \u201cKreepy Krawly\u201d type pool cleaner is used, this runs up the walls and could create problems with the electric cord feeding down to the Solar light. I believe this could be overcome with careful placement of the lights.<\/p>\n

Above Ground Pool: The fitting and instructions to attach to an above-ground pool are clear and easy to read. \u00a0To be honest the fittings are more suited to the sharp edge of an above-ground pool, but as you can see, easily adaptable to use for in-ground pools too.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Other uses<\/p>\n

Further instructions say these lights can be used in the bath \u201cto create a festive atmosphere\u201d. \u00a0I\u2019m not sure how the lights would look under a layer of bubbles, but I\u2019m sure they\u2019d create a great atmosphere.\u00a0 Of course, you\u2019d have to ensure they\u2019re charged first, either via a bathroom window or in the sun prior to use.\u00a0 Alternatively you can also use them in ponds, fountains, or spas.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Australian Weather Extremes<\/p>\n

Currently in my district, heat wave conditions mean daily temperatures reaching up to 46deg C. I was concerned the electric cord and the solar panels might melt or be damaged by many hours of extreme heat and direct sunlight. However, I am very pleased to say that all fitting are very robust and coping well with the extreme conditions.<\/p>\n

Final Verdict: Are Quntis Solar Lights Worth It?<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re after energy efficient waterproof lights, the Quntis Solar Pool Lights are an excellent option, easy to install and extremely affordable. I especially love that the solar panels and lights can be easily removed and stored for the winter, plus they stand up to Australian weather extremes.<\/p>\n

Currently available \u00a0at Amazon<\/a> for RRP $69.99, the Quntis Solar Pool Lights will make your pool, pond or water feature the central focus point of your entertainment areas. \u00a0Additionally, cooling off this summer can now extend well into the night!<\/p>\n

Now, excuse me because it\u2019s a hot evening, and\u00a0 I\u2019m off to bask in the pool under these lovely gentle glowing lights. Sigh!<\/p>\n

Thank you Quntis for the opportunity to review these great pool lights!<\/p>\n
