This poolside umbrella lives a double life. During the day it protects you from the sun, keeping you in a cool shadow and keeping your skin relatively cancer-free. At night, it takes all the light that it blocked during the day and shoots it down on you. Well, that's how I understand it at least… I'm no scientist. The 11-foot umbrella comes loaded with solar panels on the top, so while you're taking a nap it charges itself up. Later on, it can provide you with up to eight hours of light provided by the 47 built-in LED lights on the ribs and center of the umbrella interior. A nice casual accessory for your pool, running only… wait a minute, $700?! I'll stick to a $10 umbrella and some $3 candles, thank you very much. Jeez, who knew solar panels were so expensive? — Adam Frucci
