Twilight Umbrellas

Brolly good!

Think of rain and you think of yucky journeys spent hunched beneath a depressing nylon canopy. But all that’s about to change thanks to our spectacularly twinkly Twilight Umbrellas. Guaranteed to brighten up the rainiest of days, these hi-tech brollies utilise fibre optics, three AAA batteries and lots of LEDs to create a truly magical effect.

Twilight Umbrellas

Starlight version

There are two Twilights available, the Starlight featuring twinkly white lights, or the Rainbow featuring constantly phasing multicoloured lights. Talk about a brolly good show. Better still there are lights on both sides of the canopy, so you can impress soggy onlookers without having to peer into shop windows to see the show. You’ll feel like an extra in Blade Runner every time you hit the street.

Twilight Umbrellas

One-button opening!

If you’re worried about bumping into your boss whilst brandishing a brolly this jolly, worry not. The Twilight only performs its light show when you press the on/off switch in its handle. And although the lining is silver (hi ho), both Twilights are business-like black on the outside. ‘Really boss? You saw someone sploshing through puddles holding a funky technicolour brolly? How strange.’

Already creating a storm amongst umbrella aficionados (of course they exist), Twilight Umbrellas are sure to cheer you up on dreary wintery days. And thanks to a one button opening mechanism, putting up your Twilight is easier than, erm, pushing a button.

Unless you live in the middle of a desert we can see no reason why you wouldn’t want one of these incredibly cool rain repellers right now. In fact with a Twilight in your bag or briefcase you’ll be praying for a downpour every time you leave the house. So don’t be wet, be bright and hit the Buy button.

visitor avatar I bought this for my girlfriend, who loves it, but there seems to be a bit of a problem with the closing mechanism. The metal catch that holds the umbrella shut only juts out by about a milimeter, so the umbrella quite often opens without pressing the release button. Is this normal?
Alec, Manchester - 5th September 2011
Firebox says: That doesn't sound normal Alec, please drop us an e-mail to info@firebox.com with your order details and we'll have a look at it for you.
visitor avatar Bought this as an Xmas gift for my step-daughter, she nearly got mugged on the school path every one wanted to know where it was from. Thanks.
Heather Illingworth, Stockport - 6th January 2011
visitor avatar Received my Twilight Umbrella yesterday (overnight postage, fantastic) and I am sooooo pleased that it is going to be raining for the next couple of days. I used the umbrella for the first time today and absolutely love it. I love the silver inner lining and the material seems to be so much stronger than other umbrellas I have purchased for a similar price (that do not come with lights). Thank you Firebox for lighting up my rainy days (literally).
Elena, Oakley, Hampshire - 18th November 2010
visitor avatar LOVE THIS!!! my boyfriend bought it for me last christmas, and I love using it :) it's gorgeous!! :).
Nicola, Somerset, Taunton - 6th November 2010
visitor avatar Wow weeeeeeee, this umbrella is FANTASTIC, I LOVE IT. I can not wait to use it, truly amazing :-> I love it so much that I have it switched on in the living room!!!!
Helena Craven, Leeds - 14th September 2010
visitor avatar Any plans for one that charges on solar power, so that there's no need for batteries? I would love an Eco friendlier version!
Katrina, London - 3rd February 2010
Firebox says: Not at the moment Katrina, but for products requiring AA batteries, why not try our revolutionary Eco-friendly USBCell Batteries: http://www.firebox.com/product/1625/USBCell-Batteries?via=ser
visitor avatar I received the starlight umbrella 2day, and I have to say I was very disappointed. I thought the umbrella was poorly made especially for the price. Also some of the lights on part of the outside don't seem to be working. I have never had a problem with any of the other items ive bought from firebox. . But I have to say this is one item I wont be keeping.
Laura, Birmingham - 14th January 2010
Firebox says: Hi Laura, It sounds like your umbrella may be faulty. Please email us and we will arrange to replace the umbrella for you.
visitor avatar Love this umbrella, stunning and makes an amazing present to give to someone or just for yourself, thanks.
Lorraine Lawson, Cheshire - 21st December 2009
visitor avatar I saw a woman with this umbrella and I couldn't believe my eyes...I had to run after her to ask where she got it from. It really brightened up a miserable dark evening and got everyone talking....
Chris, Croydon, Surrey - 16th December 2009
visitor avatar As a downside to living in Scotland most of the rainy season brings strong winds, does the Twilight umbrella have a sturdy hold or will it become a nice big bowl to collect rain water in?
Katie O'Hare, Glasgow - 15th December 2009
Firebox says: It's a well built umbrella, but not designed for serious gales!
