Turn on the sun every night with the light generated from a solar powered Sun jar. Sun jars collect solar energy through the day via a highly efficient solar cell, rechargeable battery, and low energy LED lamps. The mason jars are 100% water tight and the light sensor is automatically activated when night falls; so there’s no power switch required. Originally designed by Tobias Wong; however for anyone game to try a DIY version on the cheap go to http://www.instructables.com/id/Home-made-Sun-Jar/
