Product Description

Product Description

When the standard lightbulb was invented, naturally, we applauded. But science means progress - and the world is now looking for alternative ways to light up our homes. This is one of the best we've found. Inside the Sun Jar is a highly efficient solar cell, a rechargeable battery and three low energy LED lamps. When the jar is placed in direct sunlight, the solar cell creates an electrical current that charges the battery over a few hours. When it gets dark or lights are turned off, this energy powers the three natural-coloured LED lamps inside the jar. The frosted glass of the jar then diffuses the light, giving the appearance of trapped sunlight.

2.0 out of 5 stars Pretty but does it work?, 6 Dec 2008
By Us "At home" (La Palma) - See all my reviews
I bought my sun jar recently and was delighted with it's lovely warm orange glow. I also loved the idea of being able to leave it outside to recharge and have it glowing again by nightfall. I've been disappointed however with how little it recharged. I tried changing the battery but the same problem occurs - the first night it glows brightly and is lovely. The second a little less...etc...etc until there is nothing left. I live in the Canary Islands and we have quite a bit of sun even in winter - if it doesn't work very well here it must be worse in the UK. I've ended up charging the battery in a charger because the jar is pretty but that does rather defeat the object of a solar powered light!

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice (if slightly pointless) object, 10 Dec 2007
By D. Jackson (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This has a very nice feel to it (proper frosted glass, not plastic, and a satisfyingly chunky lid). The glow is orangey, so it's no good for reading etc. but would be really nice to just give some general lighting when outside in the evening at the end of a summer's day, or in a conservatory/garden room, or just on a patio.

5.0 out of 5 stars Romance in a jar, 18 Oct 2008
By Anna (London) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
I was given a sun jar recently, and it really is absolutely beautiful. There isn't enough light to read by, but the glow it gives is so very comforting and cosy, and for atmospheric mood lighting, I can't imagine anything nicer. It makes a wonderful nightlight - very warm and soothing, and because it doesn't plug into the wall, you don't need to worry about frying your lampshades or wasting electricity.

Its being a jar very much adds to the romance of it; almost as if you went on a picnic that day, went into the woods with a jar to catch tadpoles or butterflies and caught the sun instead - really sort of magical. Its being solar powered means it will last for an age, so the initial cost is ultimately well worth it.

This is a lovely, lovely little thing, and it's very muchly recommended.
