Tools and Hardware Reviews of Suck UK Sun Jar LED Solar Light, BlueCustomer Review: Fun concept, can't hold a charge for very long Summary: 2 Stars
There are a few solar powered lights out there, most of them for outdoor gardens. The main problem with too many of them, this one in particular, is the cost-cutting cheap rechargeable batteries they come with. When given an average two window sunny summer day exposure, the lamp will glow a pleasing blue light when it gets dark... for about 15 minutes. For the same amount of money, you can get a more effective garden lamp, also solar charged, and if you get one where you can easily replace the rechargable battery (they all always come with the cheapest batteries), you'll get a more useful longer lasting shine from an average sunny day charge. Just don't put the outdoor stand or pole on it and you can use it like this indoor lamp, only for longer than 15 minutes.
Description of Suck UK Sun Jar LED Solar Light, BlueThe Sun Jar is made with a traditional Mason jar and high tech energy efficient lighting. Captured inside the jar are a highly efficient solar cell, a rechargeable battery and a low energy LED lamp. 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 LED lamp inside the jar. The light is diffused by the frosted jar and gives the appearance of sunlight emitting from the jar (warm coloured LED lights are used to give a more natural and warm light). You may have noticed that there is no switch on for 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. Remember that the 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 requires the 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. Remember that there is an override switch inside the lid to turn off the light at night and conserve battery life.
