Worth my money!
Love this! I purchased a high priced large umbrella from Living Spaces with a weighted plate. Well with frequent strong winds on my patio the bar just was bending and couldn’t handle it. So purchased this. Feels sturdy and it’s longer so provides more support. For sure already noticing a difference. Glad I made this purchase. Would recommend ! It also came with varying sized cylinders for different pole widths. Therefore , you will end up not using one of them. Don’t regret buying this. It works!

Bright, Versatile, and Easy to Use!
Color: Warm White
This Dual-Power Patio Umbrella Light is exactly what I needed for evening gatherings! I love that it works with both rechargeable and regular batteries—super convenient. The three lighting modes are perfect for setting the mood, whether it’s a dinner party or just relaxing outside. It clips easily onto the umbrella pole and stays secure. Great for patios and even camping. Definitely worth it!

This little light is bright!
Color: Cool White
I was looking for a light to hang with my outdoor table that has an umbrella. I did not know this was a thing! But I am glad I found it! It fits perfect, snaps right on. The light is bright enough to see the entire area located under the umbrella. I am unsure how long the battery life works as we haven't stayed out past dark more than an hour or so, but it has worked every day for a week! Awesome product, awesome idea! Why didn't I think of that!?! Totally recommend this little light!
