Entry #44: Capture the Sun at Coachella

This is probably the best piece of the sun you can get without skin cancer in your bones. And it comes in your average jar, and titled the o-so-simple SUN JAR. I'm there, baby.



From the website:
Made with a traditional Mason jar and high tech energy efficient lighting! Captured inside the jar are a highly efficient solar cell, rechargeable battery and low energy LED lamps.
