Ever 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!
$39.99 from PerpetualKid and Target
I would love to get one of these to hang off a tall walking stick for hikes at night
You can also get both the Sun and Moon Jar on Thinkgeek.com for a few bucks less. ($35) (Sun Jar is out of stock till 9/1.)
For the more adventurous, make your own.

The first place they were ever mass produced was the UK, through SUCK UK:

That’s brilliant. Do you know if they sell these in the UK?
