At first, I thought this was silly. And then I started thinking about it…when it’s raining, it’s usually not too terribly light, and often it’s nighttime even if the storm wasn’t already making everything dark. So this has a practical application as well as being neat, which is always a bonus.

The Lumadot LED Umbrella includes a row of fiber optic lights as well as a flashlight built into the handle of the umbrella. Not only will it assist you in seeing where you’re going, it will help others see you as well…which can come in very handy if you have to walk in busy traffic areas, or if someone is trying to find you in a crowd. The fiber optic lights can be set to remain steadily on or blink, and can be turned off if you don’t need them at all. It requires three AAA batteries (not included). You can pick one up for just $25.00 US.
