New light for your favourite jar: Upgrade programme
From the world of the Sun Jar
Invented to bring light where there is no electricity. Then it went around the world.
Built in South Africa in 2013 to replace candles and paraffin lamps. Today the Sonnenglas stands on balconies in Berlin, on beaches in Japan and in townships near Johannesburg. Bought millions of times — and still the same jar.

The light in the lid: SOMO
It sits inside. It comes out. It fits every Sonnenglas.
Solar cells, battery and light in one module: the SOMO charges in the sun by day and glows in your Sun Jar at night. Take it out and use it on its own – as a flashlight, in another Sonnenglas or under the Lightshade.
SOMO has been around since 2022 – and it also fits every older Sonnenglas, right back to the first one from 2013. Your jar stays; only the light gets new.
