The Twilight Umbrella is definitely not the type of umbrella you often forget at home. If you leave in a hurry for work, there's no way you could miss its built-in tiny lights. An umbrella that sparks, how's that for visual stimuli,

eh?

You can choose from two flavours: one is black and studded with plenty of tiny blue fiber optic lights, while the other one is, well, also a black model that comes with stars that twinkle and phase through a rainbow of colors.

So, the next time you decide to go for a blind date on a dark rainy day, just tell your date you're going to be holding an umbrella that looks like the summer night sky. How romantic! The bad news is that the fire-flies that got stuck on the top of your umbrella will also get you in trouble if you want to flee the blind date scene. Anyway, at least you'll be safe from cars while trying to lose your tail. Oh, and if you think you're still being followed, just stop and hold your umbrella up, right next to the traffic lights. That'll make you feel invisible again. Don't block the semaphore completely though. Bad things could happen! It would be nicer though if it doubled as a pseudo-canopy, so djust in case you're being followed to your eighteenth floor apartment.

Each Twilight Umbrella comes with an automatic button and runs on a trio of AAA batteries. The price is set at 19,95 UK pounds.

Here's a complete list of the features:

-available in black with tiny blue fiber optic lights, or black with tiny color phasing fibre optic lights
-Switch on handle to control colored lights
-Suitable for ages 5 years
-Size-: 87 x 6 x 6 cm (unopened)
