Sun Jar

I made this sun jar as a birthday present for my sister-in-law using a gutted solar landscape light, a glass jar from IKEA, and some glass frosting spray (following this example). I also upgraded the 600 mAh Ni-Cd battery that came with the light to a 2450 mAh NiMH battery. (Full Details at makezine)


I've always thought these things were cool but a bit pricey. I may have to try this. By the way, if you don't know what a sun jar is, its basically a jar you put near a window during the day to charge its battery and at night it becomes something of a night light.
