Collecting and storing sunshine, the Sun Jar uses UV rays harvested during exposure to sunlight to emit a warming glow in the dark. Made with a traditional Mason jar and high tech energy efficient lighting, the jar conceals 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, charging the battery over a few hours. As darkness falls, this energy is used to power the LED lamps, emitting a warm and natural light.
Using a light sensor to negate the need for a switch on the jar, there are no visible controls to ruin the aesthetics of the solar light. A light sensor inside the jar does the work of a switch automatically activating the sunshine-like light 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 gift, the light can be used outside in the garden, casting sunny rays over evening soirees, or as a night light for young children.
