We love this cool solar light – and think it would make a great eco-friendly gift! The Solar Sun Jar is comes in some cool colors – soft Blue, original Orange or Pink light. The Sun Jar is a fully portable solar light with style. You just have to place the Sun Jar in or near a window and it will store the sunshine all day. At night the frosted glass jar becomes a soft and great looking mood light which gives out a warm glowing light.

The Sun Jar is both environmentally friendly and fully portable so it perfect for using in a tent or out on your deck or patio.

Now as much as we love the idea of solar lights by IKEA, with an extremely thrifty price-point (the above SUNNAN desk lamps retail for just $19.99), we are a little bummed that they came up with a totally fug design like these solar desk lamps that are often placed beside living room phones. However, never fear, IKEA for those of you who are not into the college dorm look these lamps will give your home, IKEA offers more options to choose from here.

All of the nine LED lighting options feature rechargeable batteries that can be charged up from nine to twelve hours of sunlight. This is pretty exciting news for the world – solar lights being mass-marketed cheaply in a big-box superstore can only mean good things for the solar industry.
