Editorial Review:

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.



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Worked for one day
I bought this as a Christmas present for my wife and was delighted with the way it charged up on Christmas Day and lit up on Christmas night. However, by Boxing Day the light was reduced to an occasional flicker and remained like this for the next few days, even though the jar was placed in direct sunlight. It has never worked since and is now on the way back to the supplier (Findmeagift)or the bin, if that proves to be a cheaper and easier way to dispose of it. Don't waste your money on this - buy ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Winter sun
I gave my wife one of these as a fun/surprise Christmas present and - luckily - she was thrilled! She likes a nightlight when I'm away and this is perfect. The warm glow is surprisingly comforting and brings a little bit of summer into the house on miserable winter nights. Anything that makes someone laugh out loud when they see it is worth its weight in gold.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Pretty but does it work?
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 ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Candle light
I brought the sun jar because when i work nights my girlfriend likes a light on so i thought we could try this to save on electricity and still give her the comfort from the light! When it arrived we was very happy with the quality of the light, its a nice jar and would look good on any window ledge! Like the other reviewers have said its waterproof with a good seal so can be left outside if you wish.
It automatically comes on when it gets dark unless you switch it off (switch is under the lid) ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Romance in a jar
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 ... Read More
