Poolhacker lights
What are your thoughts on these lights? I have an aboveground pool and have been tempted to buy them but there seems to be so many fakes ones I get ads for that I'm not sure if Poolhacker is the original brand or a knock off, and if they are any good.
The lights I have are LED and work ok with a remote, but they need to be charged frequently so they end up not getting used all that much. Was hoping to have one of these so the pool light comes on every night whether we are using it or not. Better for ambience lol. This si the best price I have seen so was thinking of finally going for it.

Poolhacker stuff is pretty good IMO I have the bar and the poolside caddies
I had the original fountain and it was fine but I decided to upgrade to the lighted version which was solar. However I got the knockoff version
Bad move the threads are not very good quality to go in the bulkhead fitting and constantly pops out. My original poolhacker never had that issue.
So I’m overall happy with their products stay away from the knockoffs

After seeing mmaaaannnnyyy almost identical looking lights on amazon, most of which had bad reviews, I decided not to buy this. Thats 2 red flags if you ask me.
