This would be SUPER useful if the playa was rainy at night.

    It rained last year after the Temple burn, but unfortunately when it rains at night on the playa it's often accompanied by gale force winds that would quickly turn your umbrella inside out! Still, it's a cool idea. How about this: replace the visible LEDs with UV ones. Then you could light up your fluorescent costume and/or body paint! (And maybe get a tan at night while you're at it.) :-)

      If you read through the comments on this item at instructables, the idea of UV led's was brought up and there were a few sources linked for suppliers.

      Hope to see it somewhere on the playa this year!
      I would make it, but I haven't yet figured out how to make it hover over me.
      Hand's free, baby!!
