Umbrella Lights
Light up the night and set a mingling mood with umbrella lights to suit your style. Lights truly dress up outdoor umbrellas and help to make any evening special.
Choices
There are many kinds of light systems from which to choose. Umbrella light string systems come in harbor, island, and other styles. They come in assorted colors, including soft amber lighting, which repels most bugs. Should you choose to set a certain mood for special occasions—warm and romantic red for Valentine’s Day, for instance, or green for Saint Patrick’s Day—it’s important to note that set up takes an hour or less. Once installed, string lighting won’t affect the ability to fold and store the umbrella. Another option is sphere lighting in which a single light is quickly and easily clamped to the umbrella pole. For large tables, and especially for free-standing or wall-mounted umbrellas, sphere lighting also comes with a bracket for wall mounting. This option creates a conversational setting because you don’t have a pole in the way.
Battery or Electrical Operation
An advantage of battery operated lighting is the ability to illuminate any umbrella—anywhere. You aren’t limited to areas close to an electrical outlet. Also, battery powered lights are great for use around pools and hot tubs. Talk about ambiance! Regarding electrical lights, they often feature an extra electrical outlet, allowing those gathered around the table to enjoy the convenience of a coffee pot or stereo operation.
Other Features
Umbrella lights are weather resistant and most can adjust to fit a variety of umbrellas. String lighting is designed to allow the string to stay lit if one bulb goes out. Battery operated light systems run on familiar C or D batteries, depending on the system.
Umbrella lights surely serve a practical lighting purpose as well as a fun way to add a festive note to any outdoor get together. |
