Portable Sun

Light up on the go without having to wield extension cords or lug around heavy planks of solar panels. This gizmo can literally fit in your knapsack and provide light long after the sun has set, making it perfect for camping, picnics, outdoor patios, or even for some serious mood lighting.

They can be purchased ready made (in yellow, blue or red) or can be easily put together on your own. The components are simple and just follow the diagram above: glass jar, mini solar power cell, rechargeable battery, energy efficient LED light and the sun. 

Get these little photons of energy at Uncommon Goods or Amazon. Similarly innovative items like the Solar Lantern Water Bottle and the Glow Brick Night Light are worth a look too!
