Why We Love This Deal
It’s funny how patio season wraps up right when the weather gets bearable, but it’s also when you find the best deals. And not just on the actual patio furniture—if you want something that lets you enjoy the cool early fall air at night while still providing shade, a solar-powered LED umbrella is the way to go. Right now, you can grab one for less than $60 at The Home Depot.
Normally priced at $73, the Sun-Ray 9-Foot Solar LED Umbrella is now just $59 at The Home Depot. You’ll get the best discount going with either the Navy Blue umbrella or the yellow. For those who don’t want the extra lighting, the brand has the same umbrella without LEDs on sale for $46, but for a paltry sum more, we think it’s worth opting for the lighting.
Sun-Ray 9-Foot Solar LED Umbrella, From $59 (was $73) at The Home Depot
What Shoppers Should Know
- Material: 160 g polyester canopy, powder-coated steel frame
- Lighting: 32 LEDs across 8 ribs, top-mounted solar panel, on/off toggle
- Operation: Hand crank, push-button tilt, push-button pole lowering
- Stand: Not included, fits most standard stands
- Best For: Dining sets, bistro tables, evening entertainment
With the sun setting earlier, dinners that go past sunset are gonna need extra lighting, and that’s where this umbrella comes in. The solar panel on top charges during the day and powers the 32 LEDs across the eight ribs. The canopy itself gives you 9 feet of coverage, with a push-button tilt for when the sun comes in low. It’s finished with a powder-coated steel frame and weather-resistant polyester to keep it protected from the elements.
Since this doesn’t come with a base, it’s a good idea to pick one up or use something you already have. If you don’t have one, this patio umbrella base at The Home Depot is on sale for $29 and gets the job done.
What Shoppers Are Saying
One helpful shopper wrote, “The umbrella is very well built, and provides extensive coverage from the sun.” They also said, “The built-in solar-powered lights work very well at night, providing enough light to completely illuminate our deck.”
The lights aren’t just for show, either: “The lights are bright enough that I don’t need to use my deck lights.” A second shopper said, “The LED lights are surprisingly, but not overwhelmingly, bright at night and last for hours after sitting in the sun all day.”
It doesn’t have to be sunny to get the most out of Sun-Ray’s 9-Foot Solar LED Umbrella for $59. And if you’re interested in grabbing one, now’s the time before it’s back to full price.
