Liberty Imports 3 PACK - LED Lightsaber Light Up Umbrellas with 7 Color Changing Effects | Windproof Golf Umbrellas with Flashlight Handle (Ed.1)

The set of three lightsaber umbrellas was just what the younger generation (kids) of our family needed. The light is admittedly cool and makes the rainy day fun. It doesnt necessarily provide any functionality other than maybe better visibility (i.e., in city traffic) on a grey day. The canopy is basic and only folds in a straight manner, which keeps the umbrella long even in the folded state. Of course, the lit sticks are not telescoping anyway. The handle is relatively long as it contains the battery compartment (three AAA batteries per umbrella), and buttons for the light as well as an integrated flashlight at the bottom. The latter turns on and off by pushing the lens. Its not very bright but can be helpful in some situations where a little bit more light is needed. The light colors of the lightsaber can be cycled with the switch on the side of the handle. Its a bit odd that both opaque canopied umbrellas have more colors to cycle through than the clear canopy. I think the latter doesnt have a red color, which seems odd since they seem otherwise identical. Of course, the opaque ones (black and dark grey) are actually fabric, while the clear canopy naturally appears to be plastic (vinyl?). Mine stuck together a bit at first and the umbrella seemed stuck until all folds were separated. The light distribution is fairly even from the handle to the tip. The canopy is fully manual, and there is no automatic of any kind. It shouldnt be the end of the world having to manually open and close the umbrella, but for some, that may be a deal-breaker. Overall, these are three cool umbrellas with basic functionally supplemented by cool lighting effects and an occasionally helpful flashlight. Of course, this set will set you back 9 AAA batteries, and pretty soon you invested more in battery replacements than the set costs. That also is an expression of the low price of the set. Its advertised as windproof and we have not been able to test them with that in mind, but there are no vents or anything to allow wind to pass through. So the umbrella claims to be sturdy enough to take the wind. (Only time will tell.)

So one of these worked fine without any issues. One was permanently lit up (meaning the batteries would constantly need to be changed), and one didn’t work at all. With about ten minutes of work I was able to get that one working (and permanently broke the other), so in the end I have two light up umbrellas, and three umbrellas I can use. Amazon did give me a 50% discount in the end, so I probably ended up ahead, but who knows how long these will last.

I bought these umbrellas because they look just like the umbrellas in the original Blade Runner movie. Totally cool. They are not the highest quality, but the price was great

So much fun! We love night time walks in the rain.

Havent had to use it in the rain yet, but just from testing it out, these are pretty cool. So much so, I ordered a second set of them to give out as Xmas gifts. I will update my review after first rain.

We really loved them but we are suckers for kitch. Our favorite is the clear one. Not only is it a good umbrella, but walking in the dark in the snow looks like a light saber and illuminates your immediate walking area. Would totally buy it again. wish we had two clear. Bought them to block the sun at Disney (my son is sun sensitive and Im prone to skin cancer) we love them and continue to use them at home. Also helped us to find each other in the dark. Flashlight at the handle, COLOR CHANGEING saber allows you to be as dark as you like but you dont have to commit to the dark side

These are half the cost of others, and very cool. I bought many more as gifts, and I have requests for more. The bottom flashlight is bright enough to see when walking or looking for something. There are a ton of colors and flashing options. You have to cycle through in order, and it does not remember your favorite color.

Ordered these for my uncle who works at the airport, he said they do the job of blocking the sun, and are a fun conversation starter.

Two of the three did not work upon receiving however they do stop rain so theres that.

I bought it because it looks like a lightsaber and my husband and kids are so happy!! We love them! I’m Joe sure about high winds, but it works great for normal rain showers.
