Sun Jar Solar Light - store sunlight in a jar!

The Sun jar is an ingenious portable solar powered light. It looks like a storage jar, but it has a solar cell, batteries and LED light under the lid - it stores sunlight in the daytime and when it gets dark the Sun Jar automatically turns itself on and glows with the day's sunshine.

Available in orange or blue light, the Sun Jar will give out light for about five hours on one charge, and will work indoors or out. Perfect for a windowsill, outdoors party or night time barbeque. Makes a great gift! The Sun Jar was voted Eco Friendly Gift of Year 2007. Size: 16 x 10 x 10cm.

How it works

Just as jam jars store jam, the Sun Jar stores sunshine.

You sit the jar on your windowsill during the day, then when it gets dark the Sun Jar automatically turns itself on and glows with the day's sunshine.

Sun Jar contains a solar charging panel and low energy LED light bulb which produces a sumptuous orange or blue glow, with an auto light-sensitive on/off switch.

Size: 16 x 10 x 10cm.

Features
- Solar power cell recharges the battery
- Waterproof can be used indoors or outdoors
- 5 hours on one charge
- Frosted surface diffuses the light
- Waterproof seal
- Glass jar
- Energy efficient led light
- Orange or blue glowing lamp, with similar brightness to a candle
- Automatic switch lights up automatically when gets dark
- Solar cell recharges internal battery

How to use your Sun Jar

Automatic Switch On

  • The Sun Jar has a built-in light sensor, and switches on and off automatically when it gets dark or light. The Sun Jar MUST be in the dark to light up. It is not possible to set the jar to illuminate during daylight or in a lit room.


    • Battery

  • The Sun Jar battery needs sun to become fully charged, and your Sun Jar will probably need charging before its first use.
  • The best way to charge the battery is with the Sun Jar switched OFF; lift the metal lever to release the lid and put the switch next to the solar panel in the up position.
  • Leave your Sun Jar outside or in a sunny window in DIRECT SUNLIGHT to charge. It will require several hours and, in overcast conditions, we recommend charging for several days.
  • The Sun Jar can also charge when in auto switch on mode (switch pushed down).
  • The Sun Jar will charge - slowly - in very bright artificial light. A lamp aimed directly over the jar for a couple of hours will speed the charging process, but normal indoor electric light is not sufficient.
  • Rechargeable batteries have a long, but not indefinite, life. After many charges, the battery may lose its ability to store energy.
  • To replace the battery: Open the Sun Jar and lift out the rubber insert and solar panel. The battery is on the underside of the solar panel; remove and replace the battery with a standard AA rechargeable battery. (Never use a non-rechargeable battery in your Sun Jar).
  • You may find that in Winter, or during cloudy weather, your Sun Jar illuminates for less time than usual, flickers, or does not light up. In times of prolonged bad weather (when there is not enough natural sun to charge your Sun Jar) you can remove the battery and charge it in a normal battery charger.


    • Manual Off Switch

  • If you do not want your Sun Jar to light up when it gets dark, press the switch next to the solar panel to the OFF (up) position.
  • Switching the Sun Jar off overnight will conserve the battery life.


    • Water Resistance

  • Kilner Jars have a watertight seal, so your Sun Jar can be left outside in wet weather.
  • After a long time outside, condensation may build up in the jar. This will not damage the Sun Jar. To remove any moisture build-up, open the lid and ease out the inner workings, empty out the water and replace the inner.

    Customer Reviews

      I love my sunjar solar light  I leave my sunjar in my kitchen window and it comes on every night with a lovely warm glow, which shines out of my window and beckons me home at night when it is dark. I live in a rural area and there are no street lights. My neighbours also love it for the same reasons, as it welcomes them home too   Susan Ash

      Such a warm light!  Nice product - the jar will stay outside (on the balcony) all year long, so that we can enjoy this warm orange glow every evening!   Agnes Hendryckx

      Extra browny points  Went down a storm with young and old alike ... environmentaly clever... how thoughtful ...what a romatic idea ... give any bird this one and not the blue one   Phil Cooper
