just arrived : pink sun jar

It seems to be the time of year for new colours, we’ve had the blue james the doorman & bookends and now Suck UK have added Pink Sun Jars to the existing range of yellow and blue.

If you haven’t seen the Sun Jars before, they are basically a traditional, but frosted, Mason jar with 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 sensor inside the jar automatically activates the light when it gets dark (or when the lights are swicthed off) and switches if off again when it gets light.

And, being made from a food Mason jar, it’s water tight, so you can leave it outside on the patio.

Available here for £15
