What We Like About the Umbrella With Solar Lights This 9-foot Umbrella with Solar Lights is a great way to add a dash of fun to your outdoor parties. The polyester umbrella has 24 solar-charged white LED lights embedded into the ribs in a patented construction. The solar panel is discreetly mounted on top of the canopy removing the need for extra wiring. This unique umbrella uses rechargeable battery to store the solar energy and does not require any electricity. It also features a manual operating switch so you can switch it on or off at will. While the umbrella provides shade and comfort during the day the solar lights add a warm glow to your gatherings once the sun has gone down.
