Illuminating Rain Accessories

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Light-Up Umbrella is Practical and Stylish

— August 27, 2011 — Unique
Here's a random fact: I hate umbrellas, for no good reason whatsoever, but I always have and thought I always would, until I saw the Light Up Umbrella. This fun umbrella has LED lights installed into it and makes carrying it in the rain so much fun.

Simply slip some batteries into it and use a handy switch to control how they flicker. They are able to flash on and off or alternate in seven different tones, depending on how entertained you want to be on a walk home late at night. Just a word of warning, however: the Light Up Umbrella may make walking into poles, people, and parked cars a lot more frequent, so try not to get too distracted by this adorable invention.

The umbrella is available in blue, yellow, or pink. Honestly, it doesn't matter which color you pick. The Light Up Umbrella is sure to put a smile on your face.
