The umbrella light is ideal for evening BBQs and patio parties that go late into the night. .
White light mode provides the look of natural daylight, while amber mode attracts fewer insects. .40 LEDs in Two Colors for Comfortable Outdoor IlluminationDesigned for outdoor use, the LPL1040BX is ideal for evening BBQs and patio parties that go late into the night. This umbrella light features four dual-output heads that each contain eight LEDs--five bright white LEDs and three bright amber LEDs--for a total of 32 LEDs which project light downwards once mounted on an umbrella.
The umbrella light also has eight LEDs on the back-side of the unit which project light upwards into the umbrella to create a warm light effect. Use the white light mode to get the look of natural daylight, or use the amber light mode to get illumination that won't attract insects.
Easily Adjust the Light Level and DirectionIt's easy to adjust the LPL1040BX to meet your needs. Simply choose the light color (white or amber) and light direction (up or down) that best suits your activity. Then use the one-touch on/off switch with selectable dimmer to customize the amount of illumination, from full brightness to ambient glow.
Battery Powered for Cord-Free ConvenienceThe LPL1040BX operates on six AA batteries (not included), which means you won't have to worry about unsightly wires hanging from your umbrella. It's easy to mount the light anywhere; just use the quick-release lever when you're ready to move it to a new location.
Benefits of LEDsThe LPL1040BX uses 40 bright white LEDs (light emitting diodes), which means it's cost effective and energy efficient. The next generation in lighting, LEDs have many benefits over incandescent and compact fluorescent (CFL) bulbs.
LEDs remain cool and will last up to 15 times longer than compact fluorescents and significantly longer than typical incandescents. LEDs are also extremely durable--they have no fragile filament or tubing and are resistant to heat, cold, and shock. And unlike incandescent and CFL bulbs, LEDs contain no mercury.
What's in the BoxRite Lite LPL1040BX Wireless 40-LED Umbrella Light.

You can also select the direction of the light output - uplight or downlight. It's battery-operated so there are no wires and no installation is required. Plus, there's no need to be near an outlet!

Customer Reviews

It took me a while to decide which umbrella light to order. I saw this one and it looked good, but the price seemed almost half of some of the others available on Amazon and I took that to mean fewer features or lower quality. I was also torn as to whether I wanted one that had light pointing up as well as down. This key feature (for me) was not indicated very clearly, even on other product web sites, but upon closer scrutiny of the zoomed images, it looked like there were LEDs on the top of the light as well, so I decided to take a chance, plus it was still one of the cheaper models. It turns out my gamble paid off, there are 8 bright, white LEDs on the top of the light that can turned off independently from the downward facing LEDs. Unfortunately, there is no setting to have just the upward facing lights on. They are either off, or on at the same time as the other white LEDs. You cannot have them on when the amber LEDs are being used, so it isn't perfect but I'm pretty happy with it overall. If I really want upward lighting only, I'll flip it upside down.
The dimmer feature is great. After you turn the lights on, you press on the ON switch again and hold, and the light will begin to dim. Release to set the dimming. Next time you turn the light on it will be back to full brightness.
The pole size adjustment was different than I thought, but it works ok. In the pictures you see 4 knurled, rubber grips in the center of the light. To adjust for a larger pole, you keep removing rubber grips until it fits. the piece that the grips slide onto is also rubber, so it will still grip to the pole, but will make the light slightly off-center.
Overall, it seems very well constructed and solid for it's price, however, the plastic used for the main body is very hard and seems like the type that would crack easily if dropped. For an outdoor item, I think it would be better off with a softer plastic that bounce rather than chip or crack. Lastly, I'd recommend getting some rechargeable AA batteries for it. It will last quite a while on 6 new batteries, but if you use it a lot, or accidentally leave it on overnight (doh) you will be putting quite a few batteries in the landfill, plus the cost of the batteries.
I'm very pleased with it and would highly recommend it to anyone needing some extra outdoor light. I'm tempted to get another one and just attach it to a pole next to the grill.

Works great and with the ability for different size poles which isn't mentioned in the description!
