A lit fountain looks very different from one that goes dark at sunset. On floating pond fountains , the LED kit sits on the float itself, so the lights shine up into the spray from below. Buyers choose between plain white lights and color-changing sets. With remote-controlled versions, the owner can hold a single color or run the lights through a sequence, and some sets can follow music. LEDs use little power and last a long time. For bigger ponds, one package pairs a large fountain with its lights and a 100-foot cable.

"We want a fountain to be something the owner enjoys at any hour," said a Fountain Tech spokesperson. "White light gives the spray a clean, simple look. The color sets let people change the mood for a party or a holiday. Either way, the lights are easy to add to a fountain someone already has in the water."

The light kits were made for Fountain Tech floats, and they usually fit floats from other brands as well.

Buyers with a different fountain brand should compare float sizes before ordering. A 24-volt transformer is sold on its own for anyone replacing one. Nozzle choice also changes how the lit display looks at night, since a tall trumpet shape and a wide spray catch the light differently, and owners can swap nozzles whenever they like. When it comes to the fountain itself, Fountain Tech suggests judging it by net flow rate, which is the amount of water it sends into the air. That moving water is what carries oxygen into the pond. A 1 HP rating on a discount unit can come with a pump that delivers about one-third of that output.
