Product Information
Full details
The Samuel Alexander 3m Solar Powered Lit Banana Cantilever Parasol is ideal for homeowners looking to maximize their outdoor living space with both daytime shade and evening ambiance. Its primary benefit is the combination of a 3-metre diameter canopy with 24 integrated solar-powered LED lights, perfect for hosting evening gatherings on patios or decks. The primary caveat is that the parasol requires a significant footprint to accommodate the included four-section base, which must be filled to ensure stability during use.

FAQs
How long does the battery last?
When fully charged after 5 hours of sunlight, the LEDs can provide up to 10 hours of illumination.
What should I fill the base weights with?
The base sections can be filled with either water or sand to provide the necessary weight to secure the structure.
Can I leave the parasol outside in the rain?
While the materials are designed for outdoor use, it is strongly recommended to close the canopy and use the protective cover during heavy rain or wind.
How tall is the parasol?
The parasol stands at approximately 2.4 metres tall.
Is the parasol light waterproof?
The lighting system is integrated for outdoor use; however, avoid submerging any electrical components in water.
Can I replace the LED bulbs?
The LEDs are integrated into the ribs of the parasol and are not designed to be individually replaced by the user.
Troubleshooting
LED lights are not turning on
Ensure the solar panel is free of debris and the on/off switch under the canopy is engaged. Check that the panel has received sufficient sunlight for a full charge.
Parasol feels unstable
Verify that all four sections of the base are completely filled with sand or water. Ensure the base is resting on a completely flat, level surface.
Canopy is difficult to open or close
Check the cantilever mechanism for any obstructions or debris. Ensure the tension mechanism is adjusted correctly according to the manual.
