SUNSHINE IN A BOTTLE R emember catching fireflies in a jar as a child and marvelling at their glow?You’ll definitely appreciate Consol’s delightful Sunshine in a Bottle Lamp. Fitted with a clever solar panel,the jar’s lid absorbs solar energy during the day and when the sun goes down, the little LED light inside the jar can be turned on.The lid clasp acts as a switch that controls the power supply, making sure not even a ray of energy is wasted.Perfect for camping and outdoor events, the Consol Solar JarTM once charged, will last for six hours before it needs a little extra juice. Apart from being a nostalgic object, the light provides an alternative for people without access to an electrical grid, who previously had to use the dangerous kerosene lamps at night. Best of all, this award-winning beauty only costs a little over $15, although, unfortunately it is only available for purchase at Consol retail outlets in Woodmead (Johannesburg) and Stellenbosch, South Africa.
