Control Your Shade from Anywhere with This Solar-Powered Motorized Umbrella
Running outside every time the wind picks up gets old fast. The Helux™ Solar Motorized Umbrella handles weather changes automatically while you control everything from your phone, voice assistant, or the built-in button—no cords, no cranking, no outlets needed.
Picture your poolside service area on a busy afternoon. Dark clouds roll in from nowhere. Before you even notice, your umbrellas have already closed themselves. Once the squall passes ten minutes later, you reopen all five umbrellas from your phone inside the office without interrupting service or sending staff outside. That's the difference between traditional manual umbrellas and a system designed for real-world property management.
- Solar-powered operation means the umbrella charges itself throughout the day, so you never need to plug it in or replace batteries under normal use.
- Auto-close weather detection senses high winds and closes automatically, protecting your investment without you lifting a finger.
- WiFi motor with app control lets you open, close, and adjust your umbrella from anywhere using the Current Luxury app, Alexa, Google Home, or third-party smart systems.
- Integrated solar LED lights with 5 brightness settings extend your outdoor time after sunset without additional wiring or electricity costs.
- ½-inch fiberglass ribs flex with wind gusts instead of breaking, maintaining the canopy's integrity season after season in demanding commercial or residential environments.
- 3-year warranty on all mechanisms backs up the engineering with real protection, while the solution-dyed acrylic canopy includes a 10-year warranty against UV damage and fading.

Who Benefits Most from a Motorized Umbrella System
Commercial Properties & Hospitality Venues
Properties managing multiple outdoor spaces find that motorized umbrellas eliminate the staff time spent opening and closing shade throughout service periods. The auto-close system protects your investment during sudden weather changes when staff may be occupied with guests.
WiFi integration allows centralized control of multiple units from a single device, making seasonal setup and daily operations more efficient.
Luxury Residential Installations
Homeowners seeking resort-quality amenities appreciate the convenience of voice control and smartphone operation when entertaining guests. The solar technology means you can position your umbrella anywhere on the property without considering electrical access.
The commercial-grade construction ensures your investment maintains its premium appearance and reliable operation through years of family gatherings and outdoor entertainment.

How Solar Power Eliminates the Outdoor Umbrella Hassles
Traditional motorized patio umbrellas require either constant battery replacements or permanent electrical wiring that limits where you can place them.
The Helux™ system uses integrated solar panels in the canopy hub to continuously charge a lithium-ion battery throughout daylight hours. This patented solar technology powers both the motor and the LED lighting system without external charging under normal use.
The battery stores enough energy to operate the umbrella even on overcast days, with the option to use the included AC adapter during extended periods of limited sunlight.
The WiFi-enabled motor connects to your home or property network, giving you multiple control options: push the button on the motor housing for immediate response, use the Current Luxury app for remote access, integrate with Alexa or Google Home for voice control, or connect to third-party automation systems for coordinated property management.
Smart Weather Protection That Works Without You
High winds represent the most common cause of umbrella damage.
The Helux™ auto-close system monitors wind conditions and closes the canopy automatically when it detects inclement weather patterns. This means your umbrella protects itself even when you're away from the property or occupied with other tasks.
The system's wind sensors work in the background, so you don't need to monitor weather forecasts or rush outside when conditions change. Once weather stabilizes, you can reopen the umbrella from your phone without going outside.
Features That Make Every Outdoor Hour More Comfortable
Solution-dyed acrylic canopy fabric resists fading through continuous sun exposure, which means your property maintains its premium appearance year after year without the expense of frequent fabric replacement.
The color is locked into the fiber itself during manufacturing, not applied as a coating that wears away.
Four size options from 7 to 11 feet allow you to match the umbrella precisely to your space requirements, so you can provide optimal coverage for intimate seating areas or larger dining configurations without paying for excess size or accepting insufficient shade.
Three height configurations—table, counter, and bar adapt the umbrella to different furniture styles and property layouts, which means you can create consistent shade coverage across varied outdoor environments without compromising comfort or aesthetics.
Powder-coated aluminum center pole in white, black, or bronze finishes coordinates with existing property design elements, ensuring the umbrella enhances rather than clashes with your outdoor decor while resisting rust in coastal or humid environments.
Upper and lower LED lighting with 5 dimmable settings extends usable outdoor hours well past sunset, so your patio, pool deck, or restaurant seating remains functional and inviting during evening service periods or late-night entertaining.
Remote control operation included provides an alternative to app-based control for guests or staff who prefer physical remotes, ensuring anyone can operate the umbrella regardless of their smartphone access or technical comfort level.

Installation and Base Requirements
The Helux™ motorized umbrella requires a separate base for stability. Current Luxury offers bases in 28-pound, 55-pound, and 110-pound configurations to match your umbrella size and wind conditions.
The 7-foot and 9-foot models work with 28 to 55-pound bases, while 10-foot and 11-foot umbrellas require 55 to 110-pound bases for proper support.
The umbrella can be installed through a compatible table using the included table support hardware, or used with a freestanding base anywhere on your property.
The fine-thread base pole screws into the base clockwise until secure, with the coarse-thread canopy pole connecting to the base pole via a pin-and-slot system that locks the assembly together.
Setup typically takes under an hour with basic tools. The included installation guide provides step-by-step instructions, and the Current Luxury support team at (888) 883-7568 can answer technical questions during installation.
Proof of Commercial-Grade Engineering
Current Luxury designs and manufactures the Helux™ umbrella system in Pensacola, Florida, maintaining quality control throughout the production process.
The 3-year warranty covers all internal mechanisms and components against defects in materials and workmanship.
The OUTDURA® solution-dyed acrylic fabric carries a 10-year warranty against UV damage and fading, while the yarn-dyed polyester option includes a 5-year warranty. These warranty terms reflect the durability standards required for commercial hospitality applications where umbrellas face daily use in all weather conditions.
The ½-inch diameter fiberglass ribs provide enhanced wind resistance compared to standard aluminum or fiberglass alternatives. This construction method is the same used in commercial-grade beach umbrellas and resort installations where reliability cannot be compromised.

Frequently Asked Questions About Solar Motorized Umbrellas
How long does the battery last on a full charge?
Under normal use with adequate sunlight exposure, the solar panels continuously recharge the battery throughout the day, providing power for daily opening and closing operations plus LED lighting in the evening.
During extended periods of limited sunlight, you can use the included AC adapter to charge the battery module. Current Luxury recommends 6-8 hours of charging time to ensure complete battery replenishment when using the AC adapter.
Will the auto-close system damage the umbrella or close too frequently?
The wind detection system is calibrated to respond to genuinely hazardous conditions, not every breeze. The system monitors sustained wind patterns rather than momentary gusts, closing only when conditions could actually damage the umbrella or create safety concerns.
You can reopen the umbrella from your phone or the motor button once conditions stabilize, without needing to physically access the unit.
Can I control multiple umbrellas together through the app?
The Current Luxury app allows you to add multiple devices to your account and control them individually or group them together for synchronized operation.
This makes it practical to manage several umbrellas across a large property or commercial installation from a single interface. The app also integrates with third-party automation systems for properties using centralized building management platforms.
What happens if the WiFi connection is lost?
The umbrella continues to function through the manual button on the motor housing even without WiFi connectivity. The auto-close weather detection system operates independently of the network connection, protecting the umbrella regardless of your internet status.
Once WiFi is restored, app control and smart home integration resume automatically without requiring any reset procedures.
How difficult is it to replace the canopy fabric when needed?
The canopy fabric is designed for eventual replacement after years of use, though the 10-year warranty on OUTDURA® fabric means replacement is typically unnecessary for a decade in residential applications.
When replacement becomes necessary, the process involves disconnecting the canopy from the rib assembly and installing new fabric. Current Luxury can provide replacement canopies and guidance for the replacement process, or you can work with a local installer familiar with commercial umbrella systems.
