LED Pool Bulb Color Changing 12V 35W - PL5808
PureColors Light Hit the Right Marks
By: on 11/20/2018
We recently resurfaced our pool with Caribbean Blue mini pebble, and that seemed like the perfect time to replace/upgrade our old standard light. The PureColors light hit the right marks... It was well-priced, didn't require fancy extra automation equipment to get the full benefits, and it worked perfectly right out of the box. Our pool is 15,000 gallons, approximately 35 feet long by 12 feet wide, free-form shape. We have one light and it does the job just fine. Full red does not illuminate the entire pool, but that's the nature of red LEDs. The other colors light the entire pool very well, and the light shows/animations are a fun touch, especially to add some atmosphere to evening outdoor entertaining! I give the PureColors a 4/5. Why not 5/5? Well, it's simple. This is 2018, and I feel that pool technology is in the stone ages. I don't want to (nor do I feel like I should have to) spend thousands of dollars on pool automation systems to get functions that are simple and commonplace outside of pools. The ubiquity of smart home solutions and products on the market should be embraced by the makers of pool equipment, and I look to a brand like PureLine to disrupt the market and maybe take the opportunity to really deal a punch to the juggernauts Hayward and Pentair, who still want to charge exorbitant amounts of money for simple smart solutions or features. What would have made this LED light a 5/5? Simple - a very simple controller unit that I could connect to with Bluetooth or Wifi from my phone and integrate into my smart home solution. I know it's possible, and not even that difficult, because I'm building it myself with about $40 worth of parts. If I can do it, they can, and they should.
