However, it’s not feasible to lounge under the sun all day without applying generous amounts of sun cream. Moreover, those working from home often struggle with screen glare when trying to work outdoors.

For shoppers on the hunt for a new parasol to combat these issues, we’ve spotted a fantastic deal at Debenhams that will allow Brits to enjoy the sunshine during the day and continue to savour the warm summer evenings.

Head over to the Debenhams website where you’ll find the 3m Large Solar Powered LED Patio Umbrella on salereduced from £384.73 to a mere £87.82. That’s an impressive 77% off the original price.

This isn’t just your average parasol. Its 3m span provides ample shade for a large area, reports the Manchester Evening News.

But what sets it apart are the LED light strips built into the arms that keep the canvas taut. These lights illuminate the area beneath the parasol once the sun sets.

These LED lights are also powered by a solar panelwhich stores energy throughout the day for use at night. The parasol features a power button on its central pole, allowing you to control the lights and switch them off when you head indoors.

This parasol comes with a tilt function, allowing you to adjust the umbrella’s angle at the push of a button. It also features a crank lever for swift deployment or retraction, facilitating easy storage.
