The Sun Jar

Combining old-school habits with new-school green technology, the Sun Jar is the perfect green gift for the holidays.

From Wishingfish:

An ingenious combination of old and new, the Sun Jar is made from 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.

There is no switch on the Sun Jar -- no visible controls at all -- instead, a clever light sensor inside automatically activates the light when it gets dark or the light turns out. Magical!

The beautiful frosted glass Mason jar is 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 child's bedroom! Original design by Tobias Wong.

These ingenious little devices are a throwback to yesteryear: a time when people stored just about everything that was perishable in mason jars and put them on the windowsill. You can own this little beauty for as little as $40 US. Get it on Wishingfish today!

    It can on occasion become painful to separate the insightful solar lighting evidence from the inadequate.
