ABSTRACT:
A lighted umbrella comprises a solar power device mounted on the top end of the shaft of the umbrella. A plurality of ribs is pivotally connected to the shaft. Each rib has a hollow interior in which an electrical wire can be stored. A slot is formed on each rib to accommodate two transparent light guiding rods that are disposed on the slot to form an opening space near the middle of the rib. A plurality of lighting devices is affixed on the rods through the opening space. Energy efficient devices such as light emitting diodes are used as the lighting devices to save energy provided by the solar power device. A fabric supported by the ribs forms the shelter for the umbrella.
