i saw this product on QVC today and just had to go for it .. Product Number : 800 662
Windguard wind-resistant umbrella with directional LED light. Features an auto-open and close button, a dual-layered canopy that has been specially designed to withstand strong winds, and a new and improved swivel torch in the handle. Ensure you don't get caught out by unpredictable weather with this compact Windguard umbrella.
Find your way with ease – the swivel torch allows you to easily change the angle of light, whether you want it pointing straight down to help you find your keys from your handbag or straight ahead whilst you're walking home at night.
No more inside-out umbrellas – the vented, two-tiered canopy design allows wind to vent between the layers, enabling it to withstand wind speed of up to 30mph, and the high-density steel and fibre glass frame ensures the umbrella keeps its shape no matter what the weather.

___________________________________________
not sure all the colours are still available though.
i have said for ages i would love an Umberella that as well as popped up also popped down, as i don't have much strength in my left wrist and i generally end up getting drenched trying to put the Umberella down especially when i am getting back into my car.
