Sun-worshipping solar powered patio umbrella

solarumbrellalowes_1.jpgI think this solar-powered parasol is a great little invention, that would be ideal for outdoor dining, parties or trips to the beach. The parasol does its job of protecting you from the sunlight during the day, then stores up energy for use at night in a solar panel screwed on to its top.

When night falls on your dusk soiree, the energy is converted to light, via a sprinkling of LEDs mounted on the umbrella's spokes. This creates a beautiful, star-like light effects that wil be bright enough for those crucial activities like opening the next bottle of wine. $99 at Lowes. [Via Alternative Consumer]
