SX002 LED Inflatable Pool Float Tube (41.5 in.)
SKIP — A battery-LED tube rather than a solar one, and the reason to skip it is the only thing it exists to do: owners report the lights dying — one says within five minutes, another that two of three floats had stopped lighting a month after buying. Every solar float on this page is cheaper or the same price and still lit a year later.
