Housewarming

Light for the new home

The first evening in a new flat usually happens between moving boxes — and without a lamp on the balcony. A Sun Jar needs no socket and no drill. A housewarming gift that glows from the very first night — and for many years after.

For the jar

What belongs in the new home

The jar opens. Fill it with something that remembers the old home — or welcomes the new one.

No cable, no drill

A new flat lacks a lot at first, often the light outside too. The Sun Jar hangs by its handle on the balcony railing or stands on the windowsill. It charges in the sun by day; at night the day/night sensor switches it on by itself.

It is weatherproof to IP65 and can stay outside. Up to 28 hours of light per charge on medium, up to 100 hours dimmed.

Indoors too

On the shelf, on the dining table, in the hallway while the ceiling light is still missing: the Sun Jar gives warm white light at 3000K, bright enough to read by. When the sun at the window is not enough, the SOMO charges over USB-C.

And the SOMO also works on its own. In the Adventure Mount, with lanyard, magnet and tripod mount, it becomes a lamp for cellar, tent and backpack.

Frequently asked questions

Something the new home needs right away. Light for the balcony, for example: a Sun Jar needs no socket and no drill — it hangs by its handle on the railing.

Then stand the lantern by the sunniest window during the day, or charge the SOMO in the lid over USB-C. At night the day/night sensor switches the light on by itself.

Yes. The complete set is weatherproof to IP65 — for balcony, terrace and garden.

Up to 28 hours on medium, up to 100 hours dimmed and 5 hours at full brightness — with 100 lumens of warm white light.

The Classic (1000 ml) for balcony and garden table, the Mini for the windowsill — hardly bigger than a cup. Both come as complete sets with the SOMO.
