Winner: Eco-Friendly Gift Of The Year 2007 (Gift Association)

ALSO AVAILABLE - SUN JAR BLUE (Moon Jar)

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.

Please note: It is recommended to give the Sun Jar a conditioning charge, allowing it to charge for 1-2 days in the "off" position before use.

This charming but simple jar lights up when dusk falls. And it as comforting to the sun-starved as a night light for children. Yesterday, with snow still falling, my south-facing jar stored a surprising amount of sunlight. It burned gaily for seven hours before fading gently away. It looks just like the product image. Warning, don't open the lid too far; it will fly off. A minor design fault that does not affect its charm and practicality.

Used this as a night light and when camping. The only downside is the flickering as it runs out of "battery". Otherwise robust and well-made.

Q: If I were to keep it on my sunny windowsill all the time and let it shine every night - how long would it continue to work before the battery became unable to charge up in the day any more. Can the battery and other inner parts be replaced?

A: The rechargable battery inside the Sunjar should last for approximately a year, depending on usage and the sunlight your Sunjar has been exposed to. The battery is easily replaceable with any other AA rechargable battery. There should be no need to replace other components.
I hope this helps, Jo.
