Abstract
A rod assembly for an umbrella comprises a rod; a lampshade assembly comprising a lampshade and a light strip disposed inside the lampshade. The rod has a groove for receiving and positioning the lampshade, the rod has an opening at a bottom of the groove facing downward. A bottom surface of the lampshade is capable of transmitting lights. One or more illuminants are disposed on the light strip facing one of the two sides of the lampshade. The rod assembly of the present invention is reasonable in structure and convenient to disassemble or assemble, thereby bringing great convenience for daily maintenance. Moreover, since the light strip faces one side of the lampshade to emit light, the single bead spots that are originally dense can be diverged to form a uniform light, achieving a better lighting effect.
