Lauched this year, South African glass container manfacturer Consol Glass has come up with an innovation in container glass. According to a news report: Many South Africans are without adequate electricity supply, and those who do have electricity are subject to the inconsistent power supply due to load shedding and power outages. This prompted leading glass manufacturer Consol Glass to provide an alternative lighting solution one that is safe, sustainable and easy to use. The Solar Jar is made up of a solar-powered light housed safely in the classic Consol jar. Fitted with solar-powered LED lights, the lid has solar panelling that, when placed in the sunlight, powers the LED batteries for almost six hours before it needs to be recharged. It also has a switch on the lid for the users control, proving that the Jar is energy-efficient and safe to use. The Consol Solar Jar is perfect for when the lights go out, for patio dining, or romantic dinners, camping, in fact any outdoor activity that needs soft, safe lighting. From this it is clear that the uses for this innovative new creation are endless, making the Consol Solar Jar a timeless piece.
