  Sun Jar Solar Light - store sunlight in a jar! > £17.99
  The Sun Jar is an ingenious eco friendly light from designer Tobias Wong.

It looks like a jam jar, but it’s jammed full of solar cells, batteries and LEDs so that it sucks in the sun’s rays all day and gives them back at night.

No switches, very practical, and environmentally friendly, it just sits there and looks sweet. The Sun Jar was voted Eco Friendly Gift of Year 2007!

Made with a traditional Mason jar and high tech energy efficient lighting! Captured inside the jar are a highly efficient solar cell, rechargeable battery and low energy LED lamps. When the jar is placed in sunlight the solar cell creates an electrical current that charges the battery over a few hours. This energy is then used at night to power the three LED lamps inside the jar. The light is diffused by the frosted jar and give the appearance of sunlight emitting from the (warm coloured LED lights are used to give a more natural and warm light). You may have noticed that there is no switch on the sun jar - in fact there are no visible controls at all - there is a clever light sensor inside that automatically activates the lights when it gets dark or lights are turned out!*

Mason Jars are not only beautiful but by their very nature they are completely water tight - so the Sun Jar can happily be left outside in any weather conditions. A perfect garden light or night light for a kids bedroom. *there is an override switch inside the lid to turn off the light at night and conserve battery life.

Sun Jars need DIRECT sunshine to work! Leave the Sun Jar outside or in a sunny window in direct sunlight for several hours to charge, Electric lighting indoors is not bright enough.
