Solar Powered Lighted Patio Umbrella
No more candles, tikki torches, patio lanterns, or strands of twinkle lights. In fact no more extension cords either. This patio umbrella will give a soft glow over your patio table for up to eight hours.
The 8′ diameter umbrella has 24 LEDs built into each of the six spreader rods that attach to the ribs. The canopy is made of durable polyester that has been treated with a UV and water-resistant coating. So you’r umbrella will hold up against good and not so good weather.

“A sealed weatherproof solar panel at the top of the umbrella recharges a Ni-Mh battery which provides power for the LEDs with an 85% efficiency rate, unlike lesser solar arrays that only operate at 50-55% efficiency, resulting in the longer eight-hour illumination time; manual on/off/auto switch included. The sturdy powder-coated aluminum pole and frame are corrosion-resistant, and an aluminum crank makes opening and closing simple. The LEDs are rated for 100,000 hours of use, and provide an appropriate glow for evening dining and conversation. Fits standard patio umbrella base. 94″ H x 8″ Diam.”
