{"product_id":"meltem-taupe-round-cantilever-umbrella-3m-led","title":"Round Cantilever Umbrella 3m Taupe – Solar LED, Adjustable Tilt | Meltem","description":"\u003cp\u003eWarm taupe by day, golden light by night. Of the three LED cantilever umbrellas in the Shadelys range, the Meltem produces the most intimate ambience after dark: 24 solar LEDs set into the canopy from above, filtered through a taupe polyester fabric that turns overhead light into a warm, amber-edged glow. During the day, approximately 7m² of earthy shade above the table. When the sun goes down, a lit outdoor room that feels like it was designed that way from the start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe steel mast rises at an angle from the 100x100cm cross base, leaving the entire space beneath the canopy clear. Eight steel ribs hold the round taupe canopy open across its full 3m span. An air vent at the crown draws accumulated heat upward as cooler air circulates in below — the detail that separates genuinely comfortable shade from shade that is simply present. The crank opens and closes the canopy in a single smooth action, and the canopy tilts to cut low-angle afternoon sun as it drops toward the western horizon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe taupe canopy filters light differently from pale or dark alternatives: it absorbs the harshness of direct overhead sun without the visual weight of anthracite or black, and when the LEDs activate at dusk, it diffuses their output into the kind of warm, even glow that a white canopy would scatter and a dark canopy would absorb. It is the most flattering LED tone in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA 3m taupe round solar LED cantilever umbrella for pools, patios and outdoor entertaining\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Meltem opens to a round canopy of 300cm diameter — approximately 7m² of shade. The circular profile centres naturally above a round outdoor dining table, covers a poolside lounge arrangement without the geometric rigidity of a rectangular canopy, or anchors an open entertaining terrace with a defined zone that works from midday into the evening. The UV-protective, anti-fade polyester holds its warm taupe tone season after season without greying or yellowing, and wipes clean easily with a damp cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 24 integrated LEDs are powered entirely by the included 0.7W solar panel — charged through the day, activated automatically at dusk. No extension cord, no installation, no running costs. For pool-adjacent outdoor settings where electrical fittings near water require certified installation, a fully self-contained solar LED system removes that consideration entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eØ 300 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e~7m² of shade | 254cm overall height | 100x100cm cross base included\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLED specs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24 integrated LEDs | 1 × 0.7W solar panel | automatic dusk activation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLooking for the same LED format in a different tone?

Add a solar LED system to a taupe canopy and that versatility extends into the evening: the warm light filtered through earthy polyester creates an ambience that reads as deliberate design rather than functional lighting, the kind that makes a backyard alfresco or a pool deck feel like an outdoor room worth staying in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a coastal deck or a suburban entertaining area, the Meltem covers two distinct use cases that typically require two separate investments: a quality shade structure for daytime, and an outdoor lighting solution for evenings. The solar panel means no ongoing cost and no electrical work; the 24 LEDs mean no compromise on atmosphere. In the Australian outdoor context, where long summer evenings are as much a part of outdoor living as long summer days, that dual capability is a genuine practical advantage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRound canopy 300cm diameter, approximately 7m² of shade, 254cm overall height.
