The Geremie 7’6” Lighted Market Umbrella is a great addition to our deck, it was very easy to put together ( had to connect the two poles and install the solar panel on top of the umbrella…just connect wire and twist panel on) it lit up as soon as I connect the solar panel to the umbrella as it’s a dreary day here. Only down fall I see with this umbrella is there is no switch to turn the lights off to conserve the battery when not needed, it comes on automatically at dusk. So if you wanted to sit out late in the night the lights would be dim as it used the battery power early. But other than that it’s a nice product
