GlowCity Light Up LED Rim Kit with LED Basketball Included

We bought this for our two boys last December, about 6 months ago. They were very excited because they can't get enough basketball time in. Installed it on our hoop. There is exactly enough length of lights to wrap the rim. The chord to the battery pack and on/off button is barely long enough to reach from the back of the rim to the back of the backboard where it had to be mounted. So the only way to turn it on and off is with the use of the step ladder. I thought that I read that the chord was long enough to be located within arms reach, on the pole, but that is not the case with the one that we received. So right from the beginning the functionality diminished because it was impractical to lug a ladder out to the hoop every time they wanted to use it. Within about 3.5 months the "high quality tape" (its basically just clear packaging tape) started pealing off the rim and the lights began to come loose and droop. Within about 4.5 months the tape failed and the lights fell off as did the battery pack that comes with double stick tape. So $45.00 (plus the cost of the basketball) and 5 months later the hoop lights are laying on the garage floor. It is a great concept and it would be a great product to further refine and develop but the quality of the version we received is very poor and a waste of money. It took me a while to get around to writing a review but the kids and myself are so disappointed I felt that I needed to describe our experience so others can make an educated decision.

This kept 20 young teen boys happy for 3 hours at a party. The ball REALLY glows, and the hoop looked super (and stood up to repeated attack). It was about 30 mins of work to get it on the hoop and get it all set up, but well worth it. Everyone loved it!

Everyone wants to know wherever got the set. Practice never stops now for my son he plays all day and now all night the ball glows amazingly bright and comes with extra batteries it's been used a lot and still on the original batteries it came with tape to install the lights but I used thin wire and it's in place without the messy tape look but thanks for the roll of tape good quality tape as well......but the set my son loves it and the price is right this gift was appreciated more than high dollar video games

This product is super cool and my 3 boys love it! They have hours of endless nighttime fun now in our court with each other and their friends . It’s way better than I expected ! I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for something similar

Read previous reviews about this product and company. Based on good reviews I purchased ball and rim light. My son was very excited, but ball had trouble lighting consistently. Due to work schedules it took me a few months to contact seller, I must say, I kept checking my email for a response and today when I got home, there was not 1 replacement light but not even a week after contacting seller! Very impressed with this seller and product as well!

This is SOOOO cool! I was really struggling with what to get a teenage boy and this was a huge hit! The items are quality and come with everything you need to install. I was pleasantly surprised tape was included with the rim kit--maybe I didn't read the description but it was a whole roll of quality tape.

The LED light is great and can be taped around the rim (with provided Gorilla tape) as advertised. The unit we received only allowed for 12 inches from the actual light to the on/off switch. This means you have to use a ladder to reach it and it will not work on an adjustable hoop. I can't imagine they actually designed it this way and other reviewers have stated the cord from light to on/off switch was 10 ft. and long enough to touch the ground. It is either bad design or bad quality control with this unit.

My boys love this! Big hit! The ball still lights up after a week and it came with several replacement batteries to replace when it runs out so we expect it to last a long while! Rim lights have held up to rain, the batteries are in a waterproof case. The basketball itself is of good quality

Ball is excellent but the lights on/off switch broke after 2 days.
