Detailed Description

Made with a traditional Mason jar and high-tech energy-efficient lighting! Captured inside the jar are the following: a highly efficient solar cell, a 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 for 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 gives the appearance of sunlight emitting from the jar (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! 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 light indoors is not bright enough!). Ideal as a garden light or a night-light for children!
