The Sun Jar traps the power of the sun, using a tiny solar PV panel and rechargeable battery under the lid, so at night it turns into a beautiful, green-powered mood light
Typical price £20

Review

I've actually got the Moon Jar, which is blue instead of yellow. The light is great from it and it's replaced my other 'mood' light. However I can't actually call it green - it comes in carboard (not recycled) and polystyrene and then it's not recycled glass either and when you come to dispose of it you're left with something not easily recycable.

I think it's cool but as the review says it's probably better as a present that used on your way to becoming green.
