Hi there! I'm with C&M and we sell the Sun Jar. I am sorry for the bad experience with the Sun Jar, we have a bunch in the office that work like a charm, but I know from Sam @ SuckUK who make the product, that they have changed some details with the technology inside.

There are a couple things to remember though. For starters, it only works when its dark, not somewhat dim, but pretty much dark. It can be tested easily be covering the lid with the hand, if it has been in the sun all day AND is turned on, then it should immediately turn on. If it doesn't, check the on and off button, it is hard to see if it's pressed or not. And if that doesn't make it work, try it with a normal battery. If you then put your hand over the lid, it should definitely go on.

If it does, replace the rechargeable battery - it's dead. If it doesn't, send me an email, the Jar is broken and we'll exchange it asap...

Once it's working, you never need to touch it again, after a day in the sun it'll automatically go on in the dark, until the sun doesn't provide enough energy anymore. Or is hiding behind clouds and rain...

The product is a really nice idea and ours work wonderfully, it is just a little tricky to get to work at first...

@ IAS and Jaze, ping me and I'll send you replacements so you can enjoy them while there is plenty of sun!
