Good dog or bad dog? Who cares when they both look as good as these pups do.

Now you can enjoy that same sunny radiance you love during the day, all night long! Although it's not quite the same brightness, this fresh-from-the-jar light is a great energy efficient way to softly light your home or garden. Inside this traditional Mason jar lies a high tech solar cell, rechargeable battery and low energy LED lamps. During the day, place the jar in a sunlit area. The solar cell creates an electrical current that charges the battery over a few hours. That energy is then used at night to power the three LED lamps inside the jar. At night, the warm-colored LED lights will cast off a subtle, natural glow and will look like you have captured a tiny sun in the jar. The light sensor inside automatically activates the lights when it gets dark or lights are turned out. Since Mason jars are water tight, this light makes a great addition to your garden. Buy a whole bunch and never have to worry about paying for outdoor lighting again.
