4 Benefits of using an LED Illuminated Umbrella

Our phones, cars and computers have evolved tenfold over the past few years so why has the umbrella, a potentially life saving piece of equipment, remained the same for so long? The invention of the LED Illuminated Umbrella has been well overdue and is now making its way to everyday consumers. You might be wondering why you would choose a SafeTBrella over a traditional umbrella? We have 5 reasons that will help you make that decision!

1. Visibilty

When walking in the rain, visibility is always an issue, even more so at night. With an illuminated umbrella, the fibre optic shaft lights up so you can see what’s around you at all times, an LED flashlight at the base of the umbrella can even be turned on so you can see the path on which you are walking.

2. Awareness

Not only can you see better when using an illuminated umbrella, but so can drivers. The bright colours being emitted from an LED umbrella can be seen from hundreds of feet away! This allows drivers to start braking earlier and avoiding a collision with a pedestrian.

3. Quality 

When creating the LED umbrella, the most important thing is safety. SafeTBrella products are all made with the upmost quality in order to function properly. These types of umbrellas will not break or tear like many traditional cheap umbrellas. The spokes are made so that they do not pierce the fabric and ruin the shape of the dome.

4. Style

Nobody bats an eye at a traditional umbrella. Watch as people compliment your umbrella and smile at you as you illuminate the sidewalk. Pick a bright LED color like red or yellow or a more mellow blue and green depending on your mood. Each color is just a click away on your SafeTBrella.

Another Pedestrian Fatality... This Umbrella Will Save Your Life

“A 55-year-old Vancouver man is dead after being hit while walking in a marked crosswalk Thursday night.

Police say the pedestrian was hit by a pick-up truck just before 6 p.m. on Inverness St. at King Edward Ave.

Umbrellas have been around for ages. In fact, it is believed that the idea of the umbrella was invented 2000 years ago as there are ancient artifacts that date back to around 2000 years B.C. depicting the device. Umbrellas were initially invented to provide shade from the sun during these times, but thanks to the ingenuity of the Chinese, the device evolved into a collapsible covering for people during days of rain.

While still retaining its primary function of providing individuals cover from harsh weather conditions, the common umbrella has transformed into a revolutionary device that now offers users an LED fiber-optic shaft along with a built-in LED flash light and it is all thanks to SafeTBrella.

What this implies is that users no longer have to worry about traveling from place to place during rainy, dark nights as these cool umbrellas are now designed to emit light. The revolutionary invention of illuminated umbrellas is a welcomed one when you consider the many known dangers associated with walking on dark paths with no light.

With the safety of individuals on the forefront of our mind, we at SafeTBrella make it a point of duty to ensure that you feel safe during unfavorable weather conditions and in the dark, we do this through our safety umbrella which is now available for purchase.

Bracing Yourself for Winter

Summer and Fall have passed and winter is now upon us. The days get shorter and the nights get longer, throw in some rain and snow and you have a high chance of vehicle and pedestrian related accidents in the forecast. 

The first thing you do when you wake up for school and work these days is turn on your lights because a dark commute is ahead. With dark weather comes tired drivers, distracted pedestrians and slippery roads. 

Winter fashion is hardly filled with bright and loud colours. People are often draped in greys, black and browns. This time of year everyone is grabbing their big, warm jackets covering themselves in hats and scarves, not worrying about who can see them as long as they stay warm and dry.

Honestly, you don't want to be the only person on the bus in a highlighter orange jacket, so why not grab something practical, modern looking and life saving?

Safe-T-Brella's large range of products are all equipped with bright LED lights that can be seen from hundreds of feet away at night in the rain and snow! Our latest 2017 models include additional reflective strips that shine just as bright as our lights. 

Adult and children umbrellas are available in a range of colours including black, red, yellow and clear.

Be Seen, Be Safe.
