The Solar Umbrella

by Noel on December 22nd, 2006

Solar umbrella? You think I am kidding?

Truth is, I am not. There is a solar umbrella and it has been created by Justin Thomas. This one gadget can be really a big help to all of you guys who love staying outdoors when the night falls.

The solar umbrella is made up of some 48 pieces of LED lights. These lights are actually embedded in the canopy of the umbrella itself. In the morning, the LED lights catch up the rays of the sun through a not-so-visible solar panel found on its top. And when night falls, they automatically glow.

Two colors are available for this solar umbrella. There’s one in green and one in beige. It also has got an on and off switch so that when you want to reserve the sun’s rays at night, you can do so.

It would be a perfect piece of equipment if you have a backyard business or something.
