If we were kids we would love playing with submersible lights in the swimming pool after dark. But now everything with a battery needs to meet safety standards. On January 29, 2026 the U.S.Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) put LuxJet’s submersible lights under the spotlight, and found them wanting. We are not here to pass judgement, we merely pass on the information.
How Do The Submersible Lights Work?
We understand that LuxJet designed its product to decorate pools, vases, and decorations under water. They use a CR2032 lithium penny battery to power RGB LED lights, each with red, green, and blue light-emitting diodes.
Users can control the relative intensity of the the three diodes with a push-button remote control. Each light can alter its blended color at the touch of a button. Sounds great, so what’s the problem?
Why Are The LuxJet Lights Under the Spotlight?
The submersible lights are not under the spotlight because their batteries caused a fire or harmed someone. The U.S.Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a recall notice on the basis that the lights do not meet U.S. safety standards for button and coin batteries:
- Children could easily access the lithium batteries by unscrewing the cases.
- The lights do not have warnings alerting users to the batteries inside them.
- If a child swallowed one of the batteries, then it could burn, even kill them.
The U.S.Consumer Product Safety Commission’s recall of the submersible lights reads a follows:
“Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled LED lights, and contact LuxJet for instructions on how to destroy the product, and obtain a full refund. Consumers should send a photo of the destroyed product to LuxJet via email at info@luxjet.com.cn.
