This light-up SPF30 parasol is perfect to create some shade and protect you from the sun's harmful UV rays, whilst doubling up as a source of lighting once the sun has set. Simply attach the solar unit to the top of the canopy, and connect the two poles, ensuring that the locking clips are secured. Wind the crank handle to raise and lower the steel ribs, tilt mechanism can be activated by the press on a button and turning on the lights at the flick of a switch. The replaceable battery takes approximately 8-12 hours to charge in normal daylight, the lamp illuminates for around 6 hours. Simply wipe clean with a damp sponge or cloth and allow to dry. We would recommend using the parasol with a sturdy base, (sold separately), and must be safely stored when not in use.
