What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this patio umbrella for its sturdy construction, smooth crank mechanism, and integrated solar LED lights that require no batteries or cords. Many highlight the tilt feature for adjusting shade and appreciate the convenient on/off switch on the pole. The bright colors—yellow, teal, and red—are described as beautiful and enhance patio aesthetics. Most find excellent value for the cost. However, some report solar lights that never worked or failed quickly, and a few mention fabric fading with prolonged sun exposure. Despite these issues, the majority consider it a reliable, attractive upgrade.

Good Umbrella

Would Recommend

Great umbrella, has an extensor pole that you can attach to make it taller. It only has one height option. You have to crank it to open. It does have solar powered led lights that give ambient lighting. You can adjust the tilting mechanism, it requires some extra strength to use that mechanism. Overall a decent umbrella, I’ll be curious to see how long it holds up to the sun and weather.

Great addition to back yard patio.

Would Recommend

This will be a nice addition to my picnic table. Built sturdy, operates smooth and tilts easily. The lights are nice and we have not run the battery dead. The solar keeps it charged even in the early overcast spring. Time will tell on the UV durability. I'd recommend it.

Nice large Umbrella

Would Recommend

This is a very nice, heavy weight material umbrella. The umbrella has a very smooth working crank to open and close. it's size covers our 48" patio table with ease. The tilt feature is nice to use when the sun sets in our area. For late evening relaxing you can turn on the LED light strips.

Great looking, Sturdy, Umbrella

Would Recommend

I got this to replace an aging umbrella that had seen it's better days. This on is a heavy duty umbrella, the cranking mechanism feels solid. I like that it has LED lights, it's nice that you can also replace the single rechargeable AA battery if it goes out. The lights seem plenty bright, you can see in the picture that they are easy to see in full daylight. I like that you can tilt it, sometimes that is what you need to do for the angle of the sun. My old one was only 8 feet, this one see...

Solar lights outdoor umbrella

Would Recommend

This umbrella is perfect for providing shade from the sun during the day, and light when the sun goes down. Innovative design has a solar panel on top, soaks up solar energy durinf the day and transfers that energy into little lights underneath the umbrella. The lights are on the small side but provide ambient lighting thats easy on the eyes.

Portable Share that has a lit flare...

Would Recommend

When it’s Hot and the sun is just too bright to enjoy, this 9-foot Steel Gray Market Patio Umbrella with lights keeps you in the shade. At first, I thought it was gong to be a cheap version of the really expensive sun shades however I must admit that this umbrella was well built and works like a charm. Staying outdoors until the sun goes down was not a problem as well with the built in LED lighting on each branch of the umbrella’s frame. No need for batteries just let the sun charge it for a ...

Nice big lighted umbrella

Would Recommend

Nice big, lighted umbrella. Fully assembled. Easy to put together. Shades nicely. Thick fabric. Easy up and down. The light however is not as bright as I would like.

Excellent!

Would Recommend

I was shocked by how nice this umbrella is! It’s quite heavy and the quality is great. Easy to unfold and wont take much space once it’s ready to be put away. It has a solar panel at the top to charge the lights that are on the inside which is neat. Provides good coverage with the tilt and without it. Below are pictures of this.

Very Nice Patio Umbrella

Would Recommend

We are very pleased with this umbrella. It is sturdily built and very easy to raise and lower. The lighted ribs add an elegance to its appearance. The color is also very pleasing. I doubt one could find a better quality umbrella at this price point.

Great umbrella

Would Recommend

This umbrella is a great addition to any outdoor space. It provides shade during the day and a cozy atmosphere at night. Just make sure to secure it properly if you live in a windy area. I’d recommend it for anyone looking for an affordable, stylish patio umbrella with built-in lighting

Nice umbrella, well constructed

Sturdy and beautiful Sun-Ray Umbrella

Would Recommend

The Sun-Ray 9’ round solar lighted umbrella was super simple to install. Simply remove umbrella and pole from box and wrapping. Then I checked the solar box on the top to ensure that it was connected to the wire inside. The solar box comes on and off easily with a twist. Some brands do not have the wire attached in shipping, I found that this one the solar plug was already connected so replaced panel. Next, put lower pole into an umbrella stand or holder (not included), line up the top pole but...

NICE

Would Recommend

Lots to love. Excellent for the price. Great color. LED lights with solar panel on top so no extension cord or batteries needed. Easy to crank open. Switch on the base for lights. Tried it both on the side with the tilt and straight up and down in the middle of the table. I think it will work best for most in the middle of a patio table. Highly recommended.

Wonderful umbrella for outdoor space!

Would Recommend

The umbrella come fully assembled and is incredibly easy to set up. It gives off just the right amount of light at night (doesn't feel like you have a spot light on you). Since it's completely solar powered, there's no need to think about plugging it in before use. The umbrella is also very sturdy and stable.

Beautiful and robust

Would Recommend

Unlike other outdoor umbrellas, the fabric on this one is soft and pliable and doesn't have that weird cheap noisy burlap type fee. The solar panel on the top is a perfect touch as trying to run power or replace batteries all the time would really limit the desire to use this. The solar panel is a good size and it charges quickly as I didn't have this out of the box very long before the lights started working and were quite bright even at a low charge. The overall construction of this is simple ...

Another quality product from Lowe's

Would Recommend

Lowe's has once again hit one out of the park. We have had several patio umbrellas over the years and most have disappointed us. Well this one is excellent. Every stitch,snap,loop,bulb and mechanical features are 5 stars. I have limited mobility but this umbrella cranks up and down with ease. The LED lights are way cool. They add some excellent ambiance to our time sitting on the deck looking across the mountains. We get some very high winds here and this umbrella (CLOSED UP) has stood stro...

Great Umbrella, Fits perfect on my picnic table

Would Recommend

Great Umbrella, used it on my 4 foot by 4 foot Picnic table, my crew enjoyed the shade while eating lunch, And then I enjoyed it in the evening, I got to see how long the lights stayed on Solar power, they won, It was over 3 hours. I hung a Bluetooth speaker on one of the arms and enjoyed the sound bouncing off the umbrella. Really like how easy it opens with the handle and then with a flick of the switch you have a good ambiance light. The umbrella covered the picnic table like it was made for ...

Nice lighted umbrella

Would Recommend

Nicely weighted umbrella with metal framing, easy to turn open mechanism and light switch that lights from underneath. 1 minute installation, just connect the bottom piece to the top and the umbrella is ready to go! The fabric isn’t too heavy and the umbrella stays open nicely, it’s been perfect for our patio. It has a tie closure to keep umbrella shut. Overall really happy with the umbrella.

Plenty of shade but still with some illumination

Would Recommend

This patio umbrella will get the job done even into the night. The fabric isn't flimsy or cheap feeling with the rest of the components feeling sturdy without feeling too heavy to manuever around when it's time to store it. The crank system works well, with a simple push button to change and lock the umbrella into different angles. The interior solar lights produce a decent brightness (you're not going to be reading in the dark, but can still enjoy a social gathering). The solar panel is at the...

A nice umbrella!

Would Recommend

It's a nice umbrella, and the built-in LED lights and solar charger make it even nicer! It has all the features you need: a crank for the rope that opens and closes the umbrella, a locking pivot joint, plus those lights! It's big at 9 feet diameter, and solid with 8 arms (not 6). Lots of color choices. Another nice feature: The supplier (to Lowes) has a US presence, and you can contact them for spare parts, upgraded canopies, and even the storage cover that I've installed here.
