Solar-Powered Lighted Patio Umbrella

If it's raining cats and dogs, sleeting, or snowing hard enough outside for you to grab an umbrella while taking your furry best friend for a walk, then shouldn't they get some effective weather protection as well?

If Darth Vader owned an umbrella... hmm this post may get a bit too geeky if I'm not careful... No Darth Vader the Dark Lord of the Sith didn't own an umbrella, I'm sure he could simply use a dark side force ray shield or have a stormtrooper hold one for him. However, back here on Earth we can get what we would envision his to be. The cool new Darth Vader Lightsaber Umbrella has a realistically styled lightsaber hilt handle with an automatic telescoping pole that holds a 40 inch umbrella. No the pole doesn't glow red like it should, but it does store inside a red nylon sleeve when not in use. May the Force be with us all...

Normally, you wouldn't want to open up an umbrella indoors, but inside the car it's just fine with this quick and easy umbrella window sun shade. Just pop open the umbrella, push it up against the windshield, and use the handle to prop it in place or just fold down the visors.

During the day the sun's light charges the umbrella. At dusk, 24 White LED lights embedded in the spreaders and center canopy automatically turn on, gently illuminating the space underneath for up to 8 hours.

What's better than a regular old umbrella on a rainy day? One that looks like the Invisible Man, of course. Maybe you don't, but I definitely think the Invisible Man Umbrella is super cool, even though he looks more like a flasher waiting to strike (he's invisible so it shouldn't matter anyways).
