Solar Sun Jar

$38.00

 

Just as a jam jar stores jam, the Sun Jar collects and stores sunshine so that you can use it at night. Designed by Tobias Wong, we'd be lying if we told you we're not completely obsessed with this simple, adorable and fabulously functional Sun Jar.  Leave it in the sun all day, and watch it light up at night. When fully charged, the Mason jar will glow for 5 hours.   We love sun!

Capture Your Own Jar Of Sunshine

April 16th, 2007

Light up your inner child with this summer’s must-have outdoor accessory. This Sun Jar designed by Tobias Wong is beautiful, nostalgic and solar-powered.

We’ve nestled this amongst the roses in our garden, and used it as a centerpiece for outdoor dining. Any way you look at it, the Sun Jar’s soft amber glow lights up everything we love about summer.

And when it’s cold and snowy – we have a bit of sunshine at our finger tips to warm dark and gloomy nights.

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 colored 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.

The deets:
- Sun Jar designed by Tobias Wong for Suck UK.

- When fully charged, the Sun Jar will glow for 5 hours in the dark, leaving you plenty of time for a long “sun-lit” dinner.

- Gorgeous gift-wrapping available.

“Solar-powered fireflies! Summertime in a jar! No matter how you characterize this honey-hued, eco-chic light source, it's charming. A perfect hostess gift if you can bear to part with it. (Better get two.)”
