Umbrella illuminates as rain hits

The LightDrops umbrella invented by Sang-Kyun Park glows brighter and brighter the harder it rains. I imagine the site must be very pretty in the rainy dark, as the downpour splatters in loosely corresponded puddles of staccato light.

A creative artist could probably make a beautiful living installation from this...

That sentence alone would make me want to buy one. Quite poetic. :)

I imagine their site looks more or less the same regardless of precipitation.

But I bet the sight of their umbrellas in the rain is due some flowery verbiage...
