SOLAR POWERED MOON JAR by Tobias Wong by Jill Fehrenbacher, 08/18/08 filed under: green gadgets, Green Lighting, Interactive Objects Read more: SOLAR POWERED MOON JAR by Tobias Wong | Inhabitat - Sustainable Design Innovation, Eco Architecture, Green Building


ver wish you could bottle moonlight to light up your room at night? Well, now you can with the Moon Jar. We’ve written about the Sun Jar on Inhabitat before – the cute and clever solar powered jar lamp which has been around for a couple of years garnering fans and design accolades. If you liked the concept but found the Sun Jar too yellow and sunny for your tastes, now there is a cool blue-hued version of the same design called the ‘Moon Jar’.
We think these would make ideal nightlights for a kid’s room, and have a review over on Inhabitots explaining our thoughts:

MOON JAR ON INHABITOTS >


Designed by Tobias Wong, the Moon Jar employs the same parts and functionality as the Sun Jar: you stash it on a windowsill to collect the sun’s rays during the day, which are then converted into energy to light up your room at night. Whereas the Sun Jar uses a warm amber colored LED, the MoonJar uses a blue LED for a cooler moonlight effect.
I just ordered one of these for my baby’s room and I’m excited to check it out!
