Original design by Tobias Wong
Glass jar, solar cell, battery and LED lights.
100X100X160mm

Priced at RM140

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 coloured 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. *there is an override switch inside the lid to turn off the light at night and conserve battery life.

Sun Jars need DIRECT sunshine to work!
Leave the Sun Jar outside or in a sunny window
in DIRECT sunlight for several hours to charge,
(electric light indoors is not bright enough!).

Bad weather is bad news for Sun Jars!
You may find that in winter or cloudy weather your Sun Jar illuminates for less time than normal, or even not at all. This is because your Sun Jar require SUN to re-charge!
For improved results, leave the Sun Jar switched off (switch up) whilst charging. Simply switch it to the on position (switch down) when you would like it to glow. This conserves battery life and will leave it to illuminate when you need it to. If the weather has been particularly bad, as a last resort you can also charge the batteries in a normal battery charger!

A truly wonderful eco -friendly product! Jam jars stores jam, but this Sun Jar collects and stores sun-shine so that you can use it at night. Totally, solar powered light! Originally designed by Tobias Wong, this masterpiece of a jar is ingenious. The idea is to leave the jar either outside, near the window or under some decent artificial light, to collect energy from the sun throughout the day via the solar cell. When it turns dark, the jar gives a warm ambient and relaxing glow.

It gives a few good hours of light on one charge. This should be ample time for those after BBQ conversations on the porch or garden (yes, it’s water-proof too !), or simply use as a gentle bedside lamp until you doze off or place one in the toilet. You know how blinding toilet lights can be especially when you are still half asleep!

It’s a feel good factor for the ecologist in you and not to mention a money saving device so out with the candles and in with the jar! You can even actually store your essential items in it.

The weather might be getting a bit chillier, but it seems for most of us, the sun is still out, so catch it now. But don't worry, even when the sun isn't out where you are, if you place it under artifical light (ie a lamp), it will still work and glow in the dark! (cheating we know, but why not make use of it throughout the whole year?). But, the sun jar works best when recharged by sunlight!
