Illuminable umbrella

abAn improved illuminable umbrella that automatically produces light on the apex of umbrella when in its open position. The hollow shaft contains two electric wires that connects the conductive plates at each end of hubs, to the power supply at the stump of the umbrella, and the light emitting device at the apex of umbrella. The conductive plates at each end of the hubs are aligned to contact when the pivotable hub slides, upward along the shaft, toward the stationary hub. When in contact, the electric circuitry is complete to activate the light emitting device. A manual controller installed at the stump of the umbrella allows user to selectively turn off light emitting device when the umbrella is in open position.
