Not ideal for

- Very large pools that need many units
The full picture
iGarden's floating lights are the low-effort way to light a pool at night. They charge over USB, drop straight onto the water with no wiring, and cycle through 16 colors at 5 brightness levels. Built-in timer modes let them switch off on their own, and the IP68 rating means the housing is sealed for continuous water contact rather than just splash resistant. Sold as a two-pack, they cover a small to mid-size pool for roughly the price of a single premium light.

The in-depth review
The iGarden LED Floating Pool Lights are the low-effort answer to lighting a pool at night. You charge them over USB, drop them on the water, and pick from 16 colors and 5 brightness levels. No wiring, no electrician, no permanent fixture. Sold as a two-pack for around $39 (regularly $60), they are an easy add-on rather than a real investment, and they slot neatly alongside the iGarden pool cleaners and swim jets we review.

What you actually get
Each light is wireless and rechargeable, so there is no cord trailing into the water. The IP68 rating is the spec that matters here: it means the housing is sealed for continuous water contact, not just the occasional splash, so the lights are built to sit on (or briefly under) the surface without failing. Built-in timer modes let them shut off on their own, which is the difference between a gadget you fuss with and one you set and forget.
The lighting
Sixteen colors and five brightness levels is more range than most floating lights at this price, which tend to cycle a handful of fixed colors. That range is what makes them useful for both a calm evening glow and a brighter party setting. As a two-pack, they light a small to mid-size pool evenly; a large pool would want more units.
Who they are for
These are for owners who want color at night without touching the plumbing or wiring, and especially for renters or anyone who does not want a permanent install. If you are after built-in niche lighting or need to light a very large pool, this is not that product. But as a cheap, waterproof, wireless upgrade to evening swims, they are an easy recommendation, backed by iGarden's two-year warranty.
Verdict
An inexpensive, genuinely waterproof way to add color to night swims. Wireless, rechargeable, and covered for two years. For most pools, the two-pack is all you need.
