Sonnenglas® Light Carafe

No, the SOMO solar light can be ordered separately. As many customers already own a Sonnenglas® SOMO and because the Light Carafe is a complete product even without the SOMO (a cork is included to cover it), the SOMO must be ordered as an optional extra. We also offer attractive set offers with special discounts including the SOMO solar light for each model.

The Light Carafe is always offered as standard together with the SOMO solar light. If you already own a SOMO Gen6 (sales launch 2022), for example from a Sun Jar, the Light Carafe is fully compatible with it and can also be purchased without an additional SOMO.

In this case, it is possible to order the light carafe on its own. Please send an email to info@sonnenglas.net, so that we can process the order manually for you.

Scope of delivery:

• Light Carafe
• SOMO Gen6
• Cork

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.

The SOMO solar light is available in two sizes:

• SOMO fits all 1000ml Light Carafes (models C1 and C2)
• ⁠SOMO Mini fits all 750ml Light Carafes (models M1 and M2)

The Light Carafes are compatible with the SOMO solar modules since generation 6 (sales start in 2022).

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.

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.

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.

No, the LEDs of a Sonnenglas® SOMO are so efficient that they do not generate any significant heat or warmth.

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.

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.

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.
