Sun Jar - £15.70 Delivered @ CarbonNeutral

£15.70

135°

FOUND BY: gary_rip 4 days, 17 hours ago

Starts: 25/05/2008

Next Cheapest seems to be £17.99 at play.com.

The Sun Jar is an ingenious and rather charming lighting concept from designer Tobias Wong. 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. The jar contains a solar charging panel and low voltage bulb with a sumptuous orange glow, and an auto light-sensitive on/off switch. Don't let the sun go down on your day.

Features
Tobias Wong designed lighting concept.
Just as a jam jar stores jam, the Sun Jar stores sun.
Pop the jar on the windowsill in the light and it will automatically glow by dark.
A low voltage bulb that glows orange, powered by the sun and the solar charging panel.
An auto light-sensitive on/off switch.
Suitable for ages 5 years+.
Requires sunshine and a solar cell battery (included).
Size: 16 x 10 x 10cm.

Please ensure that you remove the tab over the battery before use.

These are cute - I have one - and most high street shops charge £20 for them. Hot.

This 'Perk' isn't valid until the 25th May is it? Also, is it open to anyone or just Sky Customers?

And hurting the environment whilst you are at it.. at least change to energy saving bulbs.

That's a lot of money for a solar light.

Hence the start time on the deal...

And so far all sky perks have been open to everyone.

I wonder what the lifespan of the battery is? Can't be very good sitting in a sealed jar charging on a hot window sill.

These are really great. They give a pleasant atmospheric glow through the etched glass...and seem well made too.
