Patio Umbrella Lights - Popular for All Occasions

Made to fit a typical patio umbrella and market umbrella a set of electric lights will shed enough light to allow you to dine comfortably. Strings for an eight-rib umbrella many have as few as eight lights per rib to twenty lights per rib for a total of 160 lights.

These strings of lights may take about an hour to install and will not interfere with the opening and closing of the umbrella. Some manufacturers power their lights with regular house current while others provide a battery operated option using D cell batteries.

Another option for patio lighting are globe lights designed to sit in the ribs next to the pole for simple overhead lighting. These slip easily in and out as needed and are powered by your household current.

The last option for umbrella lights are also globes, these fixtures that are electrically powered mount to any pole with up to a 2 inch diameter. These lock on and off for easy storage and so the umbrella can be closed.

Which ever light option you choose for the evening use of your umbrella make sure you choose weather resistant and maintenance free items. Make the most of the good weather and the great friends you enjoy dining with by extending your outdoors time with umbrella patio lights.
