A full charge runs the 35 LEDs and the center light for 6 to 8 hours of bright white, which covers dinner and the hours after it with no cord or switch box involved. One click turns them on. Six tilt levels and 360 degree rotation move the shade through the afternoon, and metal ribs with a crown vent hold the canopy steady when a breeze comes up. Underneath, four HDPE plates lock with metal pins and fill through large spouts to 220 lbs, then stack flat for storage with a cut-out handle for carrying.
