Product description
The Sonnenglas® Light Carafe is mouth-blown from 100% recycled glass collected in Eswatini, a small country in Africa. For many of the local people, collecting bottles is their only source of income. Artists from Ngwenya Glass transform this material into unique, functional creations that are compatible with the SOMO Mini solar light.

An absolutely worthwhile purchase! The product delivers what it promises: very long illumination time, beautifully designed, easy to handle, etc. Great value for money! We took the lamp to a festival, it charged itself during the day and reliably lit up the whole evening/night. Very bright light that illuminated the entire pavilion, and it was easy to carry to the restroom by the handle attached, just great! Now it stands on our garden table and looks good there. Since it turns itself on and off depending on the light conditions, you don't have to worry about it. Clear buy recommendation!!
After nearly two years, the solar panel broke. I contacted Sonnenglas and immediately had a very friendly and benevolent interaction. The panel is being replaced. It's not often you experience such good service after such a long time. The glass itself is also beautiful and emits a very nice light. Things can break sometimes, and when you experience such nice service, you are very happy to buy there again.
We purchased the Sonnenglas in its 6th generation, one for ourselves and one to give away. The glass can be beautifully decorated on the inside with a handful of sand from the beach, a few shells, and two blooming blades of grass, creating a lovely vacation memory for home. The wire handle for hanging and the tilting handle for switching on create the impression of a simple light, typical of a product from a developing country. Yet, a small electronic masterpiece is switched on with the magnet in the tilting handle, which is integrated into the lid. The LEDs emit...

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the scope of delivery?
Each Light Carafe consists of the Light Carafe including a metal point and a cork. It is securely packed in attractive packaging and includes operating instructions. Optionally, the SOMO solar light can also be purchased directly from our sets. Customers who already own the SOMO (included in the Sun Jars) can therefore only order the Light Carafe.
Does the Light Carafe work with the solar module from my Sun Jar?
The Light Carafe is compatible with Generation 6 SOMO solar lights, which have been on the market since spring 2022. So if your Sonnenglas® Sun Jar is the 6th generation, you can also use the SOMO module on the Light Carafe. You can recognize Generation 6 by the 6 LEDs arranged in a circle and the QR code with a 6-digit serial number.
If you have an older model, you can use our Upgrade & Repurpose program or purchase a SOMO solar light at a special price with our set offers.
Which Light Carafe works with which SOMO?
How does the operation work?
As with all Sonnenglas® products, operating the Light Carafe is very easy and ingenious at the same time:
The SOMO solar light can be placed on the Light Carafe as a cover. To switch on the light, the SOMO module is aligned with the metal point on the neck of the Light Carafe: This makes the Light Carafe glow. To switch off, simply turn the SOMO module at least 2 cm away from the metal point. The metal point also activates the day/night sensor of the SOMO and the Light Carafe switches on and off automatically depending on the light conditions.
Alternatively, the SOMO module can also be switched on using the integrated control button on the module itself. However, this does not activate the automatic day/night function.
Both the SOMO solar light and the cork supplied completely cover the mouth of the Light Carafe and thus protect the drinks from dust or mosquitoes. To pour, simply remove the SOMO or the cork briefly.
Is the Light Carafe dishwasher-safe?
Yes, the Light Carafe can be cleaned in the dishwasher on a gentle wash cycle (glass program) at a maximum of 45°C. The cork and the SOMO solar light are of course not dishwasher safe.
Is the Light Carafe food-safe?
Yes, every Light Carafe is made from 100% recycled packaging glass and is food safe. Glass is one of the safest materials and the raw material is regularly tested in the laboratory.
Doesn't the solar light heat up the drink?
No, the LEDs of a Sonnenglas® SOMO are so efficient that they do not generate any significant heat or warmth.
What are the dimensions and weights of the models?
Can I leave the Light Carafe outside?
The Light Carafe should not be left outside unattended and should not be left out in the rain, for example. Compared to our Sun Jars, which also work with the same SOMO solar light, the Light Carafes are not garden lights.
How is the Light Carafe delivered and how is it packaged?
The Light Carafe comes in beautiful packaging that immediately catches the eye. The high-quality cardboard box is decorated with a stylish photograph and a lovingly designed animal drawing - a real eye-catcher. On the outside, you will also find a short manual with illustrations explaining how to use the Light Carafe with the SOMO solar light. A detailed manual is included inside. Thanks to the elegant design, the packaging is perfect as a gift.
Where does the cork of our Light Carafes come from?
The cork for our Light Carafes comes from Portugal, the world's leading country in cork production. Portugal produces over 100,000 tons of cork every year, which accounts for almost half of the world's cork production. Since the Middle Ages, cork oaks have been protected by strict legal regulations that apply at both local and national level. The more than 736,000 hectares of cork oak forests are not only an important economic resource, but also an ecological treasure. They help to regulate water resources and play a crucial role in preserving biodiversity. Our cork stoppers come from these sustainably managed forests, which have been classified as particularly worthy of protection under the Natura 2000 program.
