Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims the benefit of priority from Chinese Patent Application No. 202420270579.2, filed on Feb. 4, 2024. The content of the aforementioned application, including any intervening amendments thereto, is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

TECHNICAL FIELD

This application relates to lighting facilities, and more particularly to an external lamp structure.

BACKGROUND

In the prior art, the light strip is fixed to the umbrella mainly through the following fixing methods. (1) A variety of lamps are directly fastened to an umbrella with a rope, which is not elegant and reliable.
