This fantastic new invention gives the illusion that the sun itself has been captured inside the jar.

How does it work?

Sunlight is absorbed by a solar panel in the lid of jar, which then powers LED lights inside the jar.

The light is diffused by the frosted jar and gives the appearance of sunlight being emitting. Warm coloured LED lights are used to give a more natural and warm light.

There is no switch on the sun jar - in fact there are no visible controls at all - there is a small light sensor inside the jar that automatically activates the lights when it gets dark or lights are turned out.

There is also an override switch within the jar so that it can be turned off at night if necessary. The Mason Jars, in which the light is stored, are completely water tight, meaning that they can also be used outside as a garden light whatever the weather.

The Sun Jar is a great gift for all ages. It works perfectly almost anywhere. You could have it in your lounge, giving out a warm, soft glow, you could have it as a night-light, you could place it on any windowsill and, because all the jars are completely water tight and weather resistant, you could even use it as a garden light.

The Sun Jar does need direct sunlight in order to charge and so do not be worried if does not work on a cloudy or rainy day. However, if the weather has been bad you can still charge the batteries with a normal battery charger.
