Some are solar but this one is not. The reviewers mention it has a long cord, which you need to plug in to an outlet on your patio, yes. But the problem with solar is the batteries eventually die.

I purchased a small (about 4') folding hard plastic table and a simple small heater with three fan speeds. I hung a plant light from the center of the plant house and put the heater on the table. I purchased all three items from Lowe's. I already had the heavy duty extension cord to plug in the light and heater. The table serves a two fold purpose -- keeping the heater off the ground and allowing smaller pots to be on top of table. This is my second season with this plant house. I LOVE it!

I'm pretty sure you need a 9' cover. Two of the umbrella ribs would measure 8' 6" (the cover size is its diameter).

Sorry it took a few days to respond, but spring hasn't arrived in my area yet so the umbrella is stored right now. I plugged it in this morning to see, and it is a very warm, bright yellowish light. Very pretty. Has several sequences you can use or just steady on. The umbrella was out all last summer and it held up beautifully. The lights started right up and its ready for a new summer, if it ever gets here! We keep the cord disconnected and in its box unless we are entertaining at night.

I have this model. It has a looped cord on one side that is used to raise and lower the shade.

I have 9 foot ceilings and I mounted mine 20 inches from ceiling to the bottomof the shade. If you wound the cord up completely it would be about 11 inches from the ceiling to the bottom of the shade. Hope this helps.

No extention cords needed , you need to find a spot on your shed that gets a lot of sunshine, the light will go somewhere in that area inside your shed, hope this helps

You need an umbrella adapter on your lightstand. This is a pretty good soft box but wish it was deeper.

It is light, so you need some way to keep it in place. We use ours on a concrete patio, so some bricks sitting on the six inches extra fabric on the bottom works well. On dirt, there are holes in the feet where some wire tent posts would do the trick. Depending on your area a heat source may be needed. We use a "reptile heater" which is a fifteen foot rubberized wire we string around the plants. It puts out 50 watts very gently. If light is not offensive, a lamp inside will produce enough heat.

The cord is connected to the unit and goes down the umbrella pole. Depending on the age of your table (ours is a newer table and it fits right through the hole on the table to the ground; our friend has an older table and it runs across the table to the ground). I am guessing the cord is 6'-7' long. We then connect it to an extension cord plugged in on our porch! I suppose it is possible for someone to trip over it - not sure how close your table is to the plug.

It means you don't have cords. Just put your finger under the lower sash and raise it to where you want it. Lower the shade by holding onto the bottom sash and pull it down to the desired height.

It's hard wired. If I remember correctly, the chain is too short to swag, but it's always possible to buy a longer one. The lamp is attractive, but in case you were wondering about this, too, there is no globe under the shade, just the bare lightbulb.

By itself this light will probably not provide enough light for your needs (2 of them may do the job). I have found the umbrella on this not to be very effective at dispersing the light, and I am currently planning on replacing it. I would suggest spending a little more for a better lighting setup.

You have to add lights on this item. Best way is to use battery operated lights. This eliminates the cords.

the light itself is not heavy so the sturdiness of the pole should not matter. I have a standard umbrella pole on my table and it holds very well. If you turn the light with the light facing upward you're not probably going to get the amount of light you desire to work with. Shining it downward gives off a nice light, enough to see papers, but more to what I would say mood lighting. Enough to see and work from but not for long periods.

The cords are not that long. At full lenght and with the poles at full height running the cord down the tallest pole u have maybe 2 feet left. I can tell you the lights are amazing.

We use it to light up my backyard here in Central Texas. The wind here is strong enough to have sent my barbecue over the fence and into the neighbor's. We have the base filled with SAND. Took some doing, and a funnel to get all the sand into the base, but it is very heavy and the lamp stays put. It's been continuously on and in the backyard for over nine months now. I use fluorescent bulbs instead on incandescent. Great product!
