Where to Use Submersible Lights?
For arrangements using colored water beads in the glass vase with fresh or silk flowers, adding a submersible light or two adds to the attractiveness of the arrangement. They can also be used in clear plastic vases, water buckets and other interesting shapes.
LED submersible lights are highly versatile and can be used in numerous creative ways, both indoors and outdoors. Here are some popular ideas:
- Weddings: One of the most common uses for submersible lights is at weddings. They can be added to glass vases filled with water beads to create elegant table centerpieces that glow softly, adding romance to the event.
- Baby Showers and Birthday Parties: Submersible lights are ideal for any celebration. Use them in colorful water bead arrangements to match your party theme.
- Home Décor: You don’t need a special event to enjoy the beauty of these lights. Use them in your living room or on the patio to create a peaceful ambiance.
- Outdoor Events: Planning a backyard dinner party? Use waterproof submersible lights in water buckets, fountains, or even swimming pools to light up the night and add a festive atmosphere.
These lights also work well in unique containers like plastic vases, water-filled buckets, or any interesting shapes you can think of. Since the lights are waterproof, you don’t have to worry about them short-circuiting or being damaged by moisture.
Many Varieties
Submersible lights come in many varieties. They can be turned on and off. Some you twist to turn on others have a button on the top or bottom. They come in many colors. Some stay on, some blink or flicker others change colors.
Tips for Using Your LED Submersible Lights
Don’t forget to order submersible replacement batteries. Read on the package to see what their longevity is. Submersible lights last 16-20 hours when lite continually on one color. When using as combination setting they may last 4-6 hours. Others are said to last longer.
Placing your submersible light or lights into your arrangement is easier if your vase or bowl is shallow or if you are only using one color of water beads. When the lights are put into a taller vase and removed and replaced several times the various colors will mix into each other. In many cases this will add to the beauty of the arrangement. Mixing colors look great.
Many Varieties of Submersible Lights
There is a wide variety of submersible LED lights available on the market today. Some lights are twist-on, while others feature buttons on the top or bottom to turn them on and off. You can choose from different colors—like white, blue, green, red, and even multicolor options. Additionally, there are lights with different lighting modes. Some stay on steadily, while others blink or flicker, and some even transition between different colors.
Depending on your design preference and the ambiance you want to create, you can pick the perfect type of light for your centerpiece. For a more romantic and subtle effect, steady-on white or pastel-colored lights work best. If you’re aiming for a fun and festive look, go for color-changing or blinking lights.
Tips for Using Your LED Submersible Lights
When working with submersible LED lights, here are some tips to keep in mind:
- Order Replacement Batteries: Submersible LED lights typically run on small batteries, and their lifespan can range from 16 to 20 hours if left on continuously. However, if you’re using a combination of lighting modes (like blinking or color-changing), the battery life may be shorter, around 4 to 6 hours. Make sure you have extra batteries on hand, especially if your event lasts several hours.
- Be Careful with Placement: Placing the lights in your vase or container is easiest if it’s shallow. If you’re working with a tall vase or deep bowl, you may need to use a long-handled spoon or tongs to position the lights in the right place.
- Mixing Colors: If you’re using water beads in multiple colors, moving the lights around can sometimes cause the beads to mix. While this can create a beautiful, blended look, it’s something to keep in mind if you want to keep colors separate. On the other hand, mixing different-colored beads and lights can result in a stunning, kaleidoscope-like effect that enhances the beauty of your arrangement.
- Test Before the Event: Always test your lights and water bead setup before your event to make sure everything works perfectly. You don’t want any surprises on the big day!
