If you want to light your patio at night and you want to do so in a green way, then you might consider the Solar Umbrella Globe Lights. As the name implies, there are solar panels in the top of an umbrella that will soak up enough juice during the day to keep your lights going for up to six hours. That is pretty good.
The drawback is of course that this thing is bound to bring bugs. I figure that it is a given that lights outside attract all kinds of flying insects, so you might want to see if you can purchase a solar-powered bug zapper to go along with it.
Price: $89.95 [Hammacher Schlemmer via Ubergizmo]
