Illuminating Patio Umbrellas

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Ni LED Parasol Lights Up Your Outdoor Space While Providing Shelter

— May 12, 2014 — Eco
With the Ni LED Parasol Big Garden Torch, you would not need to rule out sitting outside at night, just because of a bit of rain. This collapsable shelter is the perfect evening refuge for warm summer nights with pleasant company. Designed by Chris Chan, Terry Chow, Tom Rordinger, Joshua Wong, Sonia Lo and Philip Shiu, this umbrella is broad, comes with its own stable base, and boasts the benefit of lighting up your patio.

An A'Design Award entry, this concept integrates a one-touch dimmer and a remote that could control several of them simultaneously, should they be picked up by bars and restaurants. Consuming as much energy as three standard incandescent lightbulbs, the Ni LED Parasol would have negligible heat waste and give off even more intense illumination should you desire it.
Trend Themes
1. Outdoor Lighting - Businesses in the outdoor furniture and lighting industries can capitalize on this trend by exploring innovative ways to incorporate lighting into different outdoor products.
2. Smart Home Integration - Technology companies can explore integrating smart home technology into outdoor furniture and lighting products, allowing for seamless control and increased convenience.
3. Energy Efficiency - Businesses in the lighting industry can focus on producing energy-efficient lighting solutions to meet the growing demand for environmentally friendly products.
Industry Implications
1. Outdoor Furniture - Outdoor furniture manufacturers can incorporate lighting into their products to add value and increase customer satisfaction.
2. Lighting - Companies in the lighting industry can explore new materials and technologies to create more efficient and environmentally friendly lighting solutions for indoor and outdoor use.
3. Hospitality - Bars and restaurants can use the Ni LED Parasol to enhance their outdoor spaces, and explore other innovative outdoor lighting solutions to create unique and inviting atmospheres.
