These popular flamingo lights bring a little Florida to your poolscape

Jazz up your pool with these Solar Flamingo Pool Lights ($37.99) from Amazon.

Sure, we’ve all seen flamingo statuettes in the front yard of some quirky neighbors, but if you want to take the pink party to the backyard, these floating flamingo pool lights are exactly what you need.

Powered by the sun and available on Amazon for just $35.99 per pair (thanks to a $2 off coupon applied at checkout), these floating friends will paddle around your pool with the breeze during the day and light up your poolscape at night with the LED solar-powered lights. They recharge themselves (they just need access to sun) no matter if you leave them in the water, dry-dock them on land, or (as the Amazon page suggests) hang them from a tree. Your flamingos, your choice, but if a little mindless kitsch will put you in a more summery mood, we’re here for it (everyone needs a smile these days).

Should you have a streak of unprecedented clouds, these birds will still shine for six to eight hours on a full charge, which is also a handy way to keep an eye on them should you forget to take them out from the water during a storm. Flamingos can't fly, so it's a good thing these are weighted at the bottom to keep them stable if the winds pick up.

Of course these little paddlers are waterproof (wth na IP68 rating), and they’re made to be able to withstand hard rain and wind. To get them going, just inflate them with an air pump or an inflatable air machine — and to take care of these birds, it’ll just take a bit of dishwashing detergent and white vinegar to keep them radiantly pink.
