Lights for patio umbrellas come in a assortment of designs and are used to create a sort of style suitable for entertainment, security, or whatever reason. Finding the right umbrella light to suit your requirements needs some planning on your part.

There are different kinds of lights for patio umbrellas:

1. Circular pole lights - These are independent units which contain a number of smaller bulbs. They are designed to fit around the poles of patio umbrellas. They are easy to install and come in a many different styles ranging from casual to more formal.

2. Chandelier type pole lights - These have four or five globes or sconces which extend from the center to outside the umbrella canopy. Like circular pole lights, they are also designed to fasten around the umbrella pole, but this kind of lights create a more elegant feel, particularly when muted down and are used with wooden umbrellas.

3. Strand lights - These are strings of lights extending along the ribs of a patio umbrella. The strings can be plugged into a central container attached to the umbrella pole. They can provide brighter lighting and give a whole day-time, lighthearted feel to an outdoor setting. Strand lights are usually powered by alternating current or AC rather than batteries. These are suitable for pool parties with music.

The more recent models of patio umbrella lights use LED which give a brighter light and can last longer before breaking.

Interested in buying lights for your patio umbrellas? Here is some advice.

- For convenience, some lights are battery powered or a rechargeable battery. However, buyers have the option of using AC power to have a stronger, more consistent light. There are also solar-powered patio umbrella lights.

- Base your choice of lighting on the atmosphere you wish to create, as well as the number of electrical outlets available near the patio umbrellas. Extension cords may create an unsightly look or even pose a danger to those walking outdoors at night.

- To make sure that the lights can properly illuminate the area they will be in, check the measurements. If the lights will be placed on rather than inside the porch umbrella, make sure you measure the umbrella to its edges. This way, buying lights at the lighting store will not involve so much guess work.

- For reference, take photos of your patio furniture when you go to the store. Do not depend on your memory alone.

- Ask for advice from employees at the lighting store to help in choosing lights. Along with your list of measurements and your photos, tell them about what you imagine your patio should look like.

- Use white holiday lights or other types of outdoor lights to complement the umbrella lights. Place the outdoor lights along the footpath or on the edge of deck railings.

- The exterior of the patio umbrella lights should always be clean to perform more efficiently. The light fixtures, if they are only cleaned rarely, are prone to gather dust and corrode.
