Abstract: An umbrella having a molded handle, a translucent telescopic center shaft, and a plastic dome. When opened the umbrellas's dome is supported by a series of flexible plastic spokes with living hinges. The plastic dome is attached to the spokes by heat welding to supporting tabs. The section of the telescoping shaft nearest the handle has a cut out section for insertion of a “lightstick” so that the user can activate the chemically based glowstick and insert it into the cutout section and also remove and replace it as needed.
