Review on Be The Envy Of Everyone On The Course With BESTKEE LED Lightsaber Golf Umbrella - 7 Color Changing Shaft And Built-In Torch! by Rick Booth

Very cool umbrella! I've been looking for a Blade Runner style umbrella that had a light up handle and wondered why this hadn't been made before! Was so excited to buy this and try it out. The umbrella itself is well made, opens very easily (manual) and also comes with a pouch to hold it when not in use.The umbrella illuminates well but is really only visible at night when it is dark. During the twilight / dusk, it's hard to see, but in dark settings works well. My only gripe is that you have to cycle through all the colors / modes in order to turn it off or get the color you want. They should have designed it so that a long press of the switch turns it on and off and configure it so that it remember the last color / mode it was on. Of the (7) options, I preferred blue and it was embarrassing to have to go through pink, purple, green, etc every time in public settings.The handle of the umbrella features two switches:- BOTTOM Switch controls an LED light that points downwards but requires 3 x AAA batteries (not included).- SIDE Switch cycles through (7) light modes that illuminate the acrylic 'shaft' or clear part of the umbrella.I really wanted a white light option like the movie but unfortunately, the 'white' mode is all the colors on at the same time, which produces a rainbow-like effect rather than a bright white light. They should have put the downwards-facing white LED as an 8th mode option.An umbrella 'hilt' is included that allows you to wear it across your back or over the shoulder, but I found it to be cumbersome as it tended to lean sideways or backwards (depending on how you were wearing it) due to the weight of the umbrella, often bumping into people especially in crowded areas unless the strap was held in place. They should make it a 3-point sling type pouch so that it can be worn more securely in a vertical fashion.Overall, it's a well built umbrella with adequate lighting for evening use. I hope Bestkee's next version works out all the bugs and is even better!
