LanPool Floating Water Fountain with Underwater Lights

If you want a quick, inexpensive way to add movement, sparkle and a little “wow” to your pool, the LanPool Floating Water Fountain with Underwater Lights is the kind of gadget that does exactly that: plug (or charge), drop, and watch the water dance. Below I’ll walk through what it does, how it performs, who it’s best for, and some real-user things to watch out for.

What it is (quick summary)

The LanPool unit is a rechargeable, battery-powered floating fountain that combines a small pump (with two spray modes) and with built-in LED underwater lighting to create a colorful night display. It’s designed for above-ground or small inground pools and ponds.

Key specs & features:

• Power: Rechargeable lithium battery (included).

• Spray modes: Two selectable modes (sprinkler and waterfall).

• Spray height: Advertised up to about 3.6 ft (≈1.1 m).

• Size & weight: Small — 6.63"L x 6.42"W x 3.93"H and about 0.66 kg (1.45 lb)

• Lighting: Integrated multi-color LEDs that rotate/fade through colors for a light-show effect at night.

First impressions / performance in the water

Out of the box the unit is very simple — charge it, drop it in the water, and it floats and runs. The pump produces a pleasant, decorative spray rather than a high-pressure jet, so it’s most eye-catching for smaller pools or as accent lighting rather than as a standalone centerpiece for a large pool. Several user reviews and video demos show it drifting as it runs (has a rope tether loop if you wish to secure in a specific position) and offering a nice, relaxing visual at night when the LEDs cycle through colors.

The night show: how the lights perform

The integrated LEDs are the unit’s star at dusk. They illuminate the spray and cast colored light on the surface — most users describe a smooth color-cycling effect rather than blinding brightness. If you want a bright theatrical light you’ll likely need multiple units or a dedicated pool lighting system, but for atmosphere and ambiance this is effective and charming.

Pros & cons (realistic):

Pros

• Easy to set up — no wiring or plumbing.

• Rechargeable (portable) — move it between water features.

• Built-in lights create a pleasant evening ambiance.

Cons

• Battery runtime can be limited (some users report ~2 hours per charge depending on mode). Reviews are mixed on longevity.

• Size/pump power means it’s best for smaller pools or as a multi-unit effect — a single unit may look small in a big pool.

  
  

Setup, maintenance & tips:

• Fully charge before first use (follow the included instructions).

• Because it floats, consider a light anchor or gentle tether if you don’t want it drifting across the pool. Videos show it naturally drifting while running.

• Rinse before storage, and store indoors over winter to preserve the battery and electronics.

• If you need longer run time, consider rotating charged spares.

Worth buying?

If your goal is atmosphere — inexpensive, portable color and a pretty spray — the LanPool floating fountain is an easy, low-commitment way to upgrade the look of a small pool (consider 2 or more units for a larger pool). User reviews suggest delightful visual payoff for the price.

Final thoughts

The LanPool Floating Water Fountain with Underwater Lights is the definition of a small, fun backyard gadget: instant atmosphere, easy setup and a pleasant night display. Treat it like a decorative accent rather than a workhorse pump and you’ll get the best results!
